    More information on Jamaican Lottery Scams courtesy CBS News. Search Youtube for - "Jamaican Lottery Scams Target Elderly Americans". I would post the link, but YouTube won't allow that.

    Is there a record of accounts for us all to see, updated weekly on line? I want to know whats spent on ads, production, distribution, everything. Then I want too see all incoming $ and ticket sale info. Which schools got $, and how much. Winnings paid out, everything should be in a report, for us all to see, updated weekly. Hire one person to crunch the numbers, and report them to us, that simple. It's our money, I'm sorry, but I don't trust, unless I can see for myself. it's alot of money.

    The California Lottery People Are doing something that should not be allowed.Part of losing and being ok with it is that money is suppose to be going into the state funds and programs.And all the money should be to support Californias economy.I just noticed California lottery tickets are made in Canada! California lottery tickets should made bought and sold in California. Creating more jobs and support for the California Economy..SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY

    I've thought of this for a while now. California has one of the biggest populations of all the States and they only increase the jackpot 1 million each draw, when other states increase by a lot more! Recently their main office building in downtown Sacramento has seen TREMENDOUS upgrades from their old building which was pretty small. I want to know where the money is going and how much they sell in tickets!!!
