But mechanical draws have magnets and neon gas, that is lighter than air. I learned that on the internet.

Hot Lotto, PB, and MM are drawn in other states and Dakota Cash is the only drawn (online) game the South Dakota Lottery has.

The commission received a presentation on cyber security Thursday from Jim Edman, a top official in the state Bureau of Information and Telecommunications.

Iowa had a fox guarding their hen house, but their RNG was not connected to any other computer, which makes SD Lottery concern about cyber security puzzling.

I like RNG because they aren't random.

As much as players may want RNG banned, we heard it from the horse's mouth in January that RNG's are here to stay.

As hard as it may be, players that live in RNG states really need to make their voices heard by not playing any games that are RNG.

Finally ! The lottery has woke- up and smell the coffee. The Iowa lottery security

scam force the other state lottery open their eyes. Yes, all the state lottery need

a outside testers to come in. Give the state that is about to be tested audit only

72 hours notices. It will be to the state best interest to do testing outside auditing quarterly. If you go to the right company all your results will be back in 72 hours at your Headquarter.

Every time I read stories like this, involving the vulnerabilities inherent in RNG and the like, I start to shake my head. Some of the smart guys have already rigged the system, made their money, unrigged the system, moved on and are living the good life happily ever after. Only the overly selfish ones like TIPTON, that get caught. The lotteries are still non the wiser. BAN RNG FOR GOOD.

I will take our Chief bottle washer's advice, Only bet on the mechanical draw games. No more computerized RNG draws.
