i made a personal promise to myself that the very day they ever bring back the ball drawings i'm going to drop a hundred dollars on my favorite pick 3 number.i won 5 grand on that number back in the early days of the TN lottery and i would love to smash the bank on it even though thats a long shot.i've seen where virginia players on the virginia website have hit for that much.50,000 dollars would be a nice payday.oh but man all those stores i'd have to go to......

In Maryland WJZ used to have the lottery drawings now WBAL has it, from what i understand WJZ's contract expired and WBAL got the contract however it's done someone got the contract. Several other stations have a little pop up window and display the numbers that were drawn.

The way Hargrove describes it leads us to believe that the lottery is paying every TV station in Tennessee that broadcasts the lottery numbers and all I'm saying is they don't have to go that route. She should negotiate a... [ More ]

The TV stations might not want to bid to broadcast the lottery drawings, but I'm sure at least one in each market will want to be the Official Lottery Station that shows the draws while the other stations must make due with a pop box on the screen. If none of the media wants the draw it isn't shown there, too bad. Shouldn't cost any more then what they're showing now, except for paying the model, the studio should already be part of lottery headquarters or someone messed up again. BobP... [ More ]

i'm the prime example.i'm that person who played faithfully every day for three years here in tennessee UNTIL they quit with the ball drawings.i was one of your diehard players hargrove and always liked you and then you pulled this RNG stunt.i'm sure there are hundreds just like me who are patiently waiting for you to butt the hell out and bring the balls back.then you need to respecfully resign your position because your ideas aren't very creative anymore.th...

I wish Idaho would get rid of computer drawings with our Pick 3 and other games.

Rebecca Hargrove does not have to have every TV station in Tennessee record the live drawings they can have one station record the drawing and have the other stations use a little pop up window and display the drawing numbers. This opens up and opportunity for certain TV stations to bid on whom will record the live drawing. After reviewing the bids she could negotiate a contract with them for x amount of years and at the end of the term run another bidding war.

I thought she was creative en... [ More ]

Slowly, but surely she can see the writing on the wall. her cash cow is going to dry up !!! She will tap dance until the elected officials put a stop to it.

the savings largely come from not paying television stations to broadcast the drawings.

What's the difference in cost between showing ball drawings or computer drawings

Rebecca Hargrove, the lottery's chief executive officer and president, has said the savings largely come from not paying television stations to broadcast the drawings

But are not TV stations playing the cartoon drawings? Does that not cost money. What is the difference

Rebecca Hargrove, the lottery's chief executive officer and president, has said the savings largely come from not paying television stations to broadcast the drawings.

If it cost money to have the drawings open and upfront so players can see the fairness of the results themselves, why have any drawings at all, even with the computers if the goal is to save money

People do not completely trust computers. They may use them for work and for pleasure, but they don't have absolute confidence in them or in those who program them.

When it comes to the state lottery, confidence was shaken more because of a malfunction regarding the lottery's new random-number-generating computers. For weeks last summer, the Cash 3 and Cash 4 games would not produce re... [ More ]
