Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
So gambling with the lottery is OK, but gambling with a skill game is not? Many times I have seen people scratch games at the counter, buy more, scratch more, buy more, etc. I don't see any distinction between that and pressing buttons on a screen repeatedly. Seeing a distinction between those two things is where I think it turns from a logical debate into a debate on personal choices and of opinion. That's where I draw the line. I don't like arbitrarily preventing people from making choices in

Maryland lottery
What's up everyone. And happy mother's day! Is anyone in here from Maryland? I don't know if it's just me. But do there scratch offs seem to be paying out less? Before computer draws. I used to win more buying scratchers. Before when I bought tickets I would atleast recoup some of my money back. Now it seems like little to none. Is this just me? Or are others seem to be experiencing the same? Also what's everyone's thoughts on these computer draw games? And the second tier prizes seem to be lowe

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Congrats. I found a $50 winner because they didn't scratch the amounts. I also found a $40 on the $10 diamond game. They scratched the game which had a 2x but they didn't reveal the amount or scratch the barcode. I'm guessing a lot of people aren't reading the rules on any of the games and just are matching numbers. I'm checking all throw away tickets that don't have their barcode revealed.

California Scratch OffsReply
Hi Fun, please excuse the delay...it's been a busy November with work and family/holiday stuff. That game looks so much like the $5 FL Game of Life (nominally named after the board game). https://flalottery.com/scratch-offsGameDetails?gameNumber=1538 I've done decently on the FL game...might have a $200 win, if I recall. Either way I hope you've been getting some decent traction with the CA games out there!!

Help with automated number generation from a tableReply
Thanks, Mr. B. I did a good read through of this tread, and was mind boggled with the chatter on code. I so wish I knew more about what was being discussed. I've been using AI to help me code my excel sheet---I've made some major strides using it, but when I wanted it to help me find all the possible touching numbers into combos it didn't return correctly, but that could be because of a bad prompt on my side, so I sat and got them all myself, one by one. The grids produce so many combos, it
