With a $70 million jackpot up for grabs in this Tuesday's Lotto Max
draw, some lottery players are finding it hard to buy tickets.Get more

"The majority of retailers are still open but we are seeing that several stores and some chains are deciding to suspend lottery for the moment," said Kevin van Egdom, communications director with the Western Canada Lottery Corporation.
However some of the retailers that will sell tickets won't redeem winning ones from customers.
"We do certainly want them to redeem winning tickets for people but I understand right now there is a reluctance by some retailers to be handling cash, handling other people’s tickets," said van Egdom.
So how do people redeem their winnings? The WCLC says you're best to hang onto a ticket until the pandemic is over or you find a retailer that will pay it out.
Winning tickets of $1,000.00 or more can be mailed to the corporation. And for big winners, like the four Albertans who each won a million dollars in Friday's Max Millions draw, they're urged to contact WCLC by phone.
"We’ll certainly talk to the winner and figure out what works for everyone, staying safe and seeing where we get to with these prize claims," van Egdom said.
The WCLC is also expected to announce a plan this week about how it will handle tickets that have expired since March 17, 2020 or are set to expire.
"We don’t want anyone to miss out on a prize because of what’s going on right now," said van Egdom.
Since people have been asked to self-isolate, the WCLC says retail lotto sales have dropped. But there has been an increase in people buying what’s called 'Advance Play.' It's one ticket that is good for 25 consecutive draws.
There’s also been a spike in the number of online lottery subscriptions.
"We check it for you, you don’t have to worry about it. We take care of all the prizes for you as well so that absolutely does get rid of that back and forth to the store during this time," van Egdom said.
Once winnings reach $50.00, the WCLC will either mail a cheque or deposit it into your bank account.
Because the lotteries are a fundraiser for provinces across the country, the WCLC hopes draws will continue through the pandemic.
"Right now the lottery is still available. I don’t know what’s going to happen and I hope we’re able to keep going and I hope things get easier for everyone soon."

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is under pressure to halt in-store sales of
lottery tickets over concerns that lines for them could spread the
coronavirus.Get more news about 彩票包网,you can vist loto98.com
State Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, and the Chaldean Chamber of Commerce, which represents many store owners, are calling on the Michigan Lottery to halt the sales because it’s difficult for owners to enforce social distancing guidelines.
“That is something we’re taking a very serious look at,” Whitmer said during a televised town hall forum on Thursday.
“It is important though that every single business owner who is selling food or essential needs is taking the appropriate steps to ensure that the people who are coming into their stores are standing 6 feet apart.”The possibility comes as coronavirus cases in Michigan have nearly tripled in seven days to 12,744, and officials are increasingly frustrated that not enough people are doing their part to slow the spread of the outbreak.
Manoogian told Bridge store owners have told her about “folks … leaving their homes not to purchase essential goods but specifically go out and purchase lottery tickets.”
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the state Lottery Bureau sent notices to the state’s 10,500 retailers with lottery terminals saying they “must immediately cease lottery sales… if you are unable to implement social-distancing measures and follow all requirements of the Stay Home, Stay Safe order.”
Since March 16 — when Whitmer issued the executive order to temporarily close theaters, bars, casinos and dine-in restaurants — 182 retailers have requested the state deactivate their lottery terminals, said Michigan Lottery spokesperson Jeff Holyfield.
More than 60 percent of those requests came on Thursday and Friday, while 30 retailers will be deactivating their terminals on Monday.
“People should not leave their homes just to buy lottery tickets,” Holyfield said. If businesses allow customers to violate social distancing rules, they may lose their right to sell tickets and face other disciplinary measures, he added.

The continuously spreading coronavirus pandemic has put the economies
of developed countries around the world to a standstill and slashed
social consumption and demand, leading to oil prices which failed to
recover after falling to the bottom, and US stocks that hovers in bear
market. Against this context, observers warn that deflation, the worst
economic nightmare, may be lurking around, And Japan may be the first
country to feel the shock.To get more news about wikifx, you can visit wikifx news official website.
Calculations based on factors such as oil prices, scheduled electricity
prices and current exchange rate level suggest that as both gasoline
prices and electricity prices drop, Japan ’s inflation level will
continue to be suppressed in the coming months. Moreover, if oil prices
continue to fall, Japan ’s inflation rate may fall below zero as early
as in April. According to Bloomberg's forecast, the factor of falling
oil prices alone can make the main inflation indicators fall by 0.1% in
April and 0.2% in May. Since energy accounts for only 8% of the
CPI(consumer price index) Basket of Goods, price changes of remaining
products can still keep the inflation rate above zero. As Japan enters a
state of emergency (from April 7 to May 6), utility companies will take
falling oil prices into account in their pricing plans, and general
consumer prices will further decline in the next few months.
BNP Paribas, Barclays and Credit Suisse all forecast that Japan ’s inflation will be negative for most of the time this year and in the next two years. Judging from the current situation, Japan's economy faces high deflation risks. Due to the bleak economy, earnings of companies are breaking through the profitable bottom line, which will make businesses more cautious about investment, consumption and recruitment activities for a period of time.if you want know more,Download wikifx

Renaissance Technology, an IT-driven hedge fund founded by Jim Simons, recorded one of the worst quarterly performances. Investors said the company's Renaissance Institutional Equity Fund fell nearly 18% in the first three months of this year, while the Renaissance Institutional Diversified Alpha Fund fell 13%. According to investors, Dario ’s Bridgewater Fund also missed in the market sell-off, and its flagship fund Pure Alpha shrank by about a fifth in asset value in the first quarter.
Investors have reacted unprecedentedly to the volatility and uncertainty caused by the global epidemic, and the historical collapse of investor risk tolerance has led to the largest quarterly capital redemption in the hedge fund industry since the financial crisis. Overall, the investment value of hedge funds fell by US$333 billion in the first quarter, reflecting the stock market sell-off and widening credit spreads. Due to this round of decline driven by poor performance, the total hedge fund assets have fallen below US$3 trillion for the first time since 2016.if you want know more,Download wikifx

People across Mississippi got into the scratch-off fever Monday as
lottery tickets went on sale for the first time in the state.For decades
Mississippi was one of only six states without a lottery. There was
strong opposition from politically powerful churches. People often drove
to neighboring states such as Louisiana to buy tickets there.Get more

Now people are driving to Mississippi to buy tickets, said Mohamad Amro, who owns the Tenn Tom Express in Brooksville near the border with one of the remaining states that does not have a lottery — Alabama.
“We are getting a lot of customers from Alabama,” he said, speaking about the customers he’s seen since the gas station and store started selling the tickets around 9 a.m. And customers are already making financial plans, he said: “They are saying what they are going to do with their money after they win.”
The tickets are available in roughly 1,200 convenience stores and other sites across the state.Democratic state Rep. Alyce Clarke of Jackson has been pushing for years to bring a lottery to Mississippi. She bought a ceremonial first ticket at a RaceWay store and gas station in south Jackson.
“It feels great. Finally, it becomes a reality. And it just goes to show you what happens if you don’t give up,” Clarke said. “Sometimes you have to try and try and try again.”The state had resisted a lottery for years until lawmakers in 2018 authorized a lottery as a way to finance road maintenance and infrastructure needs. At the time, the state had been forced to close hundreds of unsafe bridges.
For the first ten years, the first $80 million a year from lottery revenue will go to infrastructure needs. After the $80 million benchmark is hit, the rest goes to education. After the ten-year period is over, the first $80 million will go to the state’s general fund with the remainder continuing to go toward education.
Clarke had been pushing for all the money to go to education. She said she was disappointed with the way the money was apportioned but that the roads and bridges also needed investment.
Right now, people can play four different types of games, and the Mississippi Lottery Corporation plans to introduce new games in the coming weeks. On January 30, tickets for both Mega Millions and Powerball will go on sale. Winners can remain anonymous.
At the Stop & Go Foodmart in Picayune, owner Hiren Bhakta said people have been talking about the sales for weeks. In this corner of southwestern Mississippi, residents wanting to buy lottery tickets can easily pop across the border to towns in Louisiana like Pearl River and buy tickets there. Bhakta hopes that traffic will now stay in Mississippi.
“People have been going to the state lines to get tickets, so they’ve heard about it and are excited about how we don’t have to go to the state line anymore,” he said. “We can get everything here in Mississippi.”
In Brooksville, Amro said if he had the choice he wouldn’t sell the tickets because he’s not sure it’s worth the expense; he had to hire an extra employee specifically to sell the tickets. But since other stores are selling the tickets he needed to remain competitive. But if someone is going to win big, he hopes they buy the ticket at Tenn Tom Express.

Longtime state Rep. Alyce G. Clarke, D-Jackson, will purchase a "ceremonial" ticket, although lottery officials said they have no way of knowing beforehand where the first actual ticket will be purchased.
Clarke was a leading proponent of a state lottery and pushed for the state to create one for more than 20 years. The state's lottery law is named after her.
What about multi-state lottery tickets?
Multi-state jackpot lottery tickets go on sale in Mississippi on Jan. 30, after Mississippi's lottery was accepted into the Multi-State Lottery Association this summer. Drawings for both games are twice a week and have had jackpots reaching more than $1 billion
Where do state lottery proceeds go?
For the next decade, up to $80 million a year from lottery proceeds will go toward working on state roads and bridges or to match federal infrastructure money. Any revenue above $80 million would go to public education, the Education Enhancement Fund.
After decades of debate, lawmakers in a summer special session last year approved a state lottery. It's expected to net the state about $40 million the first year, then $80 million to $100 million a year thereafter.

Disneyland Shanghai has announced a phased reopening starting May 11,
and according to park officials, this could be the roadmap for what to
expect when the Disneyland Resort is allowed to reopen in California.To
get more news about coronavirus in shanghai, you can visit shine news official website.
"While some things will look a little different, know that a magical experience awaits you at Shanghai Disneyland," a park official said.
The Shanghai location is the first of the Disney properties to reopen in a post-coronavirus world. After over six weeks of closure, the rest of the Disney family at our other parks around the world are busy preparing for reopening, a theme park spokesperson said.
According to Disneyland's chief medical officer, this is an encouraging sign.
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, along with the three Disney Resort hotels and Downtown Disney shopping and restaurant area, remain closed as of this report. The shopping district may be the first to return if the parks model what is happening in Shanghai.
According to CEO Bob Chapek and Executive Chairman Bob Iger, during the company's earnings report, Tuesday, the theme parks have taken a $1 billion hit during the coronavirus pandemic.
"After so much time at home, I know many of you are eager to enjoy the magic of a Disney park visit, and we can't wait to welcome you back," Dr. Pamela Hymel said.Hymel is helping outline the phased reopening of the parks, much as has been done across the ocean.
"We're looking at all of our locations and how best to begin the reopening process," she said.For example, the opening of retail and dining locations, before the opening of the theme parks.
The many factors include the physical distancing and capacity issues the park faces. It is not yet clear how the park will handle those hurdles, such as how guests stand in lines, check into hotels, ride in transport vehicles, or interact with park employees.
Before the park can open, it must be able to follow the physical distancing guidelines based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to Hymel.
Right now, they are exploring new uses for technology, such as the Play Disney App, and virtual queues such as we've seen with the Rise of the Resistance.Expect more hand sanitizer stations, hand washing stations, many already implemented before the park's shutdown.
Hymel hopes the park's staff will develop a culture of health and safety as they get closer to reopening the main gates.Already, the park has rolled out the sale of Disney themed cloth face masks, making the necessity trendy and fun, as only Disney can.
"I want to recognize the medical professionals working to bring care and comfort during the coronavirus pandemic," Hymel wrote. "We will continue to do what we can to help support the medical community and our local communities during this time.
"While some things will look a little different, know that a magical experience awaits you at Shanghai Disneyland," a park official said.
The Shanghai location is the first of the Disney properties to reopen in a post-coronavirus world. After over six weeks of closure, the rest of the Disney family at our other parks around the world are busy preparing for reopening, a theme park spokesperson said.
According to Disneyland's chief medical officer, this is an encouraging sign.
Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, along with the three Disney Resort hotels and Downtown Disney shopping and restaurant area, remain closed as of this report. The shopping district may be the first to return if the parks model what is happening in Shanghai.
According to CEO Bob Chapek and Executive Chairman Bob Iger, during the company's earnings report, Tuesday, the theme parks have taken a $1 billion hit during the coronavirus pandemic.
"After so much time at home, I know many of you are eager to enjoy the magic of a Disney park visit, and we can't wait to welcome you back," Dr. Pamela Hymel said.Hymel is helping outline the phased reopening of the parks, much as has been done across the ocean.

Media headlines out did each other in broadcasting China’s 6.8%
contraction in GDP in the first quarter this year. It was indeed
breaking news in that it was the first ever contraction since China
started reporting quarterly GDP data in 1992. However, beyond the
headlines, there is surprisingly little that is newsworthy. It is not
telling us anything we didn’t know already. A deep contraction was
widely expected because of the massive quarantine and lockdown
implemented to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, which practically shut
down the economy. For example, Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak,
ended its lockdown only on April 18 after 76 days. Not surprisingly
markets largely shrugged off the news. The S&P 500 rose 1.6% on
April 17, after Nasdaq flipped into positive territory for the year the
day before. Wall Street was not alone, Asian and European stocks also
finished the week higher.To get more economy news today, you can visit shine news official website.
The slew of Beijing’s counter-cyclical policies to help the economy recover from COVID-19 has also been well and fully anticipated. Export rebate rates were raised on over 1,000 products to help exporters facing slumping demands. New infrastructure projects, many are planned and budgeted but now moved forward, have started in 25 provinces which will help prop up demand for industrial production and employment. The People’s Bank of China, the central bank, has been adding liquidity to the financial system by cutting interest rates and reserve requirement ratio, as well as directing more lending to small and medium size businesses through loan guarantees. According to its data, bank loans grew by 11.5% year-on-year in March, the fastest growth rate since August 2018. This is an impressive feat. China’s central bank is succeeding in raising bank credit growth in the midst of a massive economic contraction, something that is extremely difficult to do. None of these will bring about a V-shaped rebound, but they will pave the way for a recovery that will gather strength through the course of the second half of the year even if the global economy is still in recession.
The real news in China’s GDP contraction, which had come and gone hardly being noticed, is a policy document released without fanfare on March 30 outlining a set of wide-ranging structural reforms to be implemented in the aftermath of COVID-19. Ostensibly these structural reforms are needed, above and beyond the cyclical measures described, to revitalize an economy ravaged by COVID-19. Upon closer scrutiny, however, it becomes clear that these are some of the deepest structural reforms that had been proposed and debated for the last two decades, and were strenuously resisted and successfully blocked or deferred by local governments. It appears that Beijing is taking advantage of COVID-19 and the unprecedented GDP contraction to ram through tough reforms that would otherwise be harder to do. What are these reforms?
These are deep and sweeping structural reforms regarding land use, the labor market, interest and exchange rates and the financial markets. They are what really matters if the Chinese economy is to become more market driven and efficient. On land use, current restrictions on how rural land can be sold and used for commercial purposes will be lifted, and the system of rural land acquisition and sales will be made market driven. Behind these innocuous sounding policy-speak is the intention of slaying of one of communism’s sacred cows, the public ownership of land. Sweeping indeed.
The removal of the household registration system, the hukou, is the centerpiece for reforming the labor market. This will be implemented nation-wide with the exceptions of a few mega-cities like Beijing and Shanghai. For the tens of millions of migrant workers, they will be able to become fully-fledged urban residents in towns and cities where they are gainfully employed. They will be able to live with their families and have full access to urban health care, education and social welfare services. Apart from lifting a highly discriminatory barrier that divides the Chinese population into two unequal tiers, at one stroke this reform will also increase urban consumption demand massively, especially in housing, while further enhancing the growth and dynamism of China’s burgeoning service sector.
The integration of benchmark lending and deposit rates with market rates will be the central plank of price reform in banking and finance, which will align them to become more market driven. The RMB exchange rate will be made more flexible. Civil servant salaries will be made comparable with the private sector. The institutional infrastructure for listing, trading and delisting in the stock markets will be streamlined with stronger regulatory oversight, and the development of the bond market will be fast-tracked to offer an expanded range of products in size and varieties. And, finally, the opening up of the financial sector to full foreign participation will be accelerated.
Successfully implementing anyone of these structural reforms would be an achievement. Getting all of them done would be a game changer. This is clearly what Beijing intends to do by seizing the opportunity created by COVID-19 and the unprecedented GDP contraction. For those who welcome engagement with China, be prepared for a more dynamic and innovative Chinese economy. For those who fear the rise of China, get ready to face a more determined China that marches to its own tune.
Finally, the GDP contraction may well be the catalyst that Beijing needs to dispense with the GDP growth target altogether. In the past decades, it has led provincial governments to boost production regardless of real demand in order to meet such targets, burdening China’s economic structure with wasteful over-capacity as a result. Allowing GDP growth to fluctuate with the rhythm of the business cycle would be an even greater achievement. That would be truly newsworthy.
