☆ Virginia Considers a Major Expansion of Gambling by Legalizing 'Skill Games'
  + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +7 min
Virginia is not the only state grappling with skill games, but the efforts there reflect points in a larger debate nationwide as they have exploded in popularity. It is also backed by skill games producer Pace-O-Matic, which has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations to legislators in recent years. It would tax skill games revenue at 15% and would not explicitly limit the total number of machines that could exist. The skill games debate is a rare issue that doesn't split along partisan lines, and lawmakers have gone around and around on it for years. The General Assembly voted in 2020 to ban skill games, taking on the issue at the same time they were clearing the way for casinos for the first time.

☆ How to win the lottery, according to a Romanian-born mathematician who hacked the system, won 14 times, and retired on a remote tropical island

You might want to know how to win the lottery — especially as the Powerball jackpot jumps to a $750 million payout. Stefan Mandel, a Romanian-Australian economist, developed a formula that's allowed him to win the lottery 14 times. You're four times as likely to be struck by lightning than to win the lottery. Those odds apparently don't apply to Stefan Mandel, a Romanian-Australian economist who's won the lottery 14 times, The Hustle reported in a feature story about the mathematician. You can no longer buy lottery tickets in bulk and print your tickets at home — two key parts of Mandel's formula.
