Where did you see that? The only limits I saw were to the stores that were breaking the rules. Others can still sell as many as they like.

Heard it on NPR on my way in this morning. When the jackpot for this game reaches $2M (thus triggering higher payout percentage of lower winnings) there is now a maximum cap on the number of tickets to this game any particular store can sell in a day.

Oh - but these boards DO say things like that.



Rich to me is net worth @ $5mm plus. And, they do indeed cheat and steal ALL THE TIME. Or, they hire someone to ensure they are cheating and stealing all the time.

Grab a job at a wealth management firm. Soak up a years worth of experience - come back a changed person.

The best are wealth management firms that aren't public. These cats are ruthless,... even with their own clients!!

You are an ingorant douche. I work with people who are worth more than 5M and they aren't lying cheating and stealing. The president of my company is worth over 10M, and he has a BS, and MS and and MBA and worked here for 30+ years to get where he is.

Maybe now I will just think all middle class and poor people will do anything to collect welfare/food stamps/entitlements just b/c they are lazy shitbags uncapable of producing any worth in society.

Either you heard it wrong or they left out a lot of info.

The lottery is not going to limit the tickets as that hurts them. The limit is only on stores that are on probation for breaking the rules.

Ah - so then you are an "ingorant" douche as well. Since you don't know about all the rich people I've dealt with.

And, most are lying, cheating and stealing.

You're friends seem fine, so that means they aren't part of the most. I had to point that out to you. I never figured you for a total moron.

 

[mchammer187]

Exactly! Except the "Waaaaa! It's not fair!" part.

It's more than fair. Just like cooking up equations and calculations for investment products no one (not even the financial advisor) could explain and selling it as a legit venture. If you are dumb enough to give money to something no one could properly explain to you, then you deserve to lose it.

And, if you are "hard working" enough to come up with fluff and crap, you deserve to be rewarded. See, deception and lies are being rewarded as something good.

Eitherway, if you don't understand it, don't put your money on it.

And, there is no such thing as exploits. Like this lottery. This should continue - for ever.

LOL!!!

Should they fix it?

Yes

Are the people that are gaming the system doing anything wrong?

Nope

If they don't do anything to fix it than I see nothing wrong with doing this at all.

Any store that sells the lottery can sell those types of tickets.

Get the max at one store and walk over to the next corner.

More than enough stores for all.

What would happen is that a store might piss off it's regulars by hitting the limits.

Yes and I grew up right outside a busy city filled w/ lots of the so called "lower class citizens" ie the ones in the lowest two tax brackets. Based then on you saying the folkds in the top bracket, whom many are lying stealing scum, etc then if you don't disagree I will contest that the same goes for the lower end. In reality, not all are. Some just try to make a living and are honest folk who just can't catch a break in life. However, I will remain blissfully ignorant and label them all as poor who will steal from you, attempt to kill you or your family.. all for the sake of a quick buck. Oh, and that quick buck will be spent on booze, drugs or something to further continue their disgusting waste of a life.

Ah, so both sides of the spectrum have so much in common - thanks for pointing that out.

Except, the rich know how to prolong their crime wave and keep it going for generations.

Gluttony and greed do not reside in just one political or tax bracket. ALL types of people can steal and cause others harm. Just because somebody makes a few million a year, doesn't make them crooks, esp b/c there is an extremely high chance that they worked hard to get there. At least they contribute to society in some productive form. On the other hand, the last time I checked, the best thing somebody who lived in the ghetto on welfare did was serve me a burger or rob the local gas station. But then again, that statement is a blanket and isn't true for everybody who is lower class or doesn't have a job. However, I bet more lower class citizens commit crimes or cause others harm than the upper class ones.

The only thing playing fair earns you is your own self respect which to people who have none is worthless and to those who do, nothing else is as valuable. This is why God knows when you cheat because God is within you and when you cheat you cheat yourself out of knowing it.

Did you know God spelled backwards is Dog? From that one can only conclude that those who think they have self respect truly have none.

I love how people have to bring religion into everything. Religion was made to explain things that were unexplainable, and to control those who otherwise would be uncontrollable. One can have morals, ethics and respect for his self and others without a God or Gods to make him feel as if he is right or wrong.

If MA is smart they will quietly fix this (like stopping the step-up in odds), publically announce a dubiously effective fix (like the sales restrictions) and let the dollars flow in. Casinos make a very high percentage of profits off those who think they have a way to game the system.
