In theory yes , the balls from 0 - 9 such weight the same . Balls from 10 - 80 such

weight the same . It about .005 grams different not enough to change the out

come of the game.

Just watched Chip of the KY Lottery discuss how the balls are picked for their Pick 3/Pick 4 drawings. The highlights were each ball as to weigh 1/1000th of a gram of each other. They are all weighed once/week and all retired after 12-18 months. They are also randomly weighed. They have several boxes for each set of #'s, so pick 3 has 3 boxes picked. The lady shown puts little pink balls in a shaker and shakes them up and removes 3 balls that are numbered. This how the three boxes are chosen. Th... [ More ]

Your skin has oil in it too. It is produced by sebaceous glands located in all parts of the body (except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet).

He was talking about the natural skin oil, not a lotion.

What I was referring to was the weight of the ink used for numbering the balls. My theory is, the more or bigger the numbers, the more it weighs.

What they're talking about here is the pick 3 pick 4 ball from 0- 9. That why

they are handled with glove. You don't want a person who used lotion to handle

the balls without gloves. It a cause effect thing. Every ball that come in contact with main ball with lotion is getting some of it on them, making them heavier

and less likely to come out the shoot. Most lotions are oil base. All the balls

need to be checked for cracks , dents ...etc. If a ball, machine anything to be co... [ More ]

noise-gate that made me laugh. Going to send you a private message in a bit.

Just as bad as me talking to the slot machines; won't say what I say because you guys would have me locked up in the loony bin. Also like to rub the big blue IGT lottery machine, to no avail of course.

Admire your candor on talking to the balls cbr$- however like spoilt kids, they don't seem to be listening to any of us. Folks using birthdays, anniversaries, wedding days, graduations dates or numbers,all for nought. These balls, much Like Kids prefer doing their own thing. Now if only that lottery almanac from back to the future 2 was real..

I have always loved watching the Hoosier Lottery drawings. Most people there will say

they saw the drawing no rigging. Many people there are glad they take these games

cautions . With that much surveillance it lower the odd of a sandal like IA. Tipton. I

actually enjoy talking to the balls as they're being draw. Part of the fun of the games.

Friday @ 1 p.m. on FB the Kentucky Lottery will have a live question and answer period of how drawings are conducted. Years ago they said if I were to win a game and wanted to witness the mid-day I could.

In the video, the security director said that they check to make sure the balls all weigh the same.

If the balls all have different numbers on them and need more ink to make those numbers, wouldn't those balls weigh more than the others? ie: ball #1 compared to ball #8, or in the games with higher than 9 numbers ball #38.

My plans are to hire the correct legal help to place a barrier around my winnings. It that is an LLC then OK.

Each State is different.

Are you ready to become a Veteran at winning big jackpots? You could be asked to comment on future winners and their predicaments and good luck.

Mean while I have not seen a single video from the New Lotto America.

I try to contact my state lottery and they want my name and address all kinds of info to explain to why there are no videos (0.50 sec) about any of the Lotto America draws. So my take on it is they still using Computers to pick the number like Hot Lotto. If they don t have 1 minute to post a draw on YouTube for as to see am not buying.

If you call a blind trust anonymous---which I do, then yes, big winners in Indiana have done this through an Attorney. I think one of them did what I'm going to do when I win---claim it through a LLC.

Hoosier Lottery and Power Ball. A match made in Fate. A wonderful record.

I recall past winners claiming anonymously in Indiana.

Most Lotteries follow similar procedures.

Includes video report

By Todd Northrop

Hoosier Lottery televised drawings take less than a minute to complete but as a local media report shows, it takes hours of preparation every day to make it all happen.

Indiana's Hoosier Lottery utilizes both computerized and traditional ball drawings for its games. The media report focuses mainly on the traditional ball drawings, which are used for the lottery's Daily 3 and Daily 4 drawings.

The other in-state games Cash Five, Hoosier Lotto, an... [ More ]
