Yeah, I trust with you. I noticed so many times in nowadays. When this Corona sh*t did started in end of March 2020, only hosts do draw the numbers if it's that time comes, and when I saw they pull the wrong numbers... I'm not so happy of that. I really want that, if there will be no return for contestants, switch to Draw Machine using. I

I don't doubt that people want to see and use what is familiar to them. What I am saying is that hand-selecting the numbers is objectively much riskier, despite what people might say in an online poll or something.

I saw so many critics about hand picking method. I tell you that, three of the lottery games here in Hungary(Lotto 5, Lotto 6 Lotto Scandinavia), are using hand using spheres. The Lotto 6 Lotto Scandinavia use it mostly(both of them since the start, October 1988 for 6 October 1999 for Scandinavia), only Lotto 5 is varied the mechanics. At the start, only hand using spheres was used, then switched to Air-Mix draw machines, then switched to Hand sphere/Draw machine voting, and now from January 5th... [ More ]

I agree. The drawings need to be transparent and secure, which the example of in the video is.

One excuse my state uses for all computerized drawings is doing multiple ball drawings in a day would take too much time so the just do Pick 3, 4, 5, Easy 5, and Lotto by computer now.

I got tired of complaining to the lottery about games I don't like. So, I just stopped playing most of them.

Eg. I may buy one Mega Millions ticket when the Jackpot Cash hits $700,000,000 because MM is such a terrible game.

You can complain all you want and give examples of good drawings but as long as there are people that aren't paying attention the games will sell and the lotteries won't see any problems.

Rather curious...exactly what does this Wavepack certified seal of approval look like, and what lotteries around the world have achieved this certified seal of approval

Before EVERY drawing, they should

Also, they should handle all balls with fresh nitrile gloves, and the ball handling procedures should be published and include 3rd party monitoring to make sure the handlers don't add weight to any ball while handling after the ball has been we... [ More ]

Computerized drawings are a big NO....

lmao, manual number picking will be more fraudulent... Also, in the current lottery drawing system, everything fully depends on luck. How can you manipulate a ball to be shot up from so many balls when the spinning paddle spin the balls randomly ? Also, if there are too many publicly visible patterns and repeats in the drawings, wouldn't you have already won jackpots using those patterns and repeats ? just be cool and stop spreading lies.

OMG, when you put your tickets into a 50-50, don't you bend them a little or crease the corners? I know I do, because they are more likely to be picked with a more grippy surface.

It's human nature to make mistakes. A ball tumbler machine doesn't think and make decisions about which item to pick. It opens a slot and whichever ball randomly falls in, that's the one it takes. That's exactly what you want in a lottery drawing. No subjective decisions, and total transparency into what is happeni... [ More ]

How so? A person manually picking a ball out of a jar in front of an audience is less reliable than balls being sucked up, not knowing what numbers are even in the containers to begin with or whether they're weighted or not? Look at the results. I'm not a statistician, but do patterns exist in randomness

The transparency in the German Lottery drawings is amazing to see. Why would any lottery want to have drawings where the general public is not sure what's happening? It's human nature to feel better about any process when the people in charge are truly transparent. Let's hope this method spreads all across America.

That's the first thing I thought. Who on earth wants to trust a human picking the the numbers. Anytime there would be weird numbers (like last night's PB draw) people would be screaming.

There are always going to be people who cry rigged with big lottery games.

No! You don't want a human picking anything that enormously adds to the risk of fraud.

I'm convinced there's still fraud with traditional ball drawings anyway. There are too many patterns and repeats for it not to be manipulated. The only way to prevent any kind of tampering is to go old school fish bowl style and have someone manually hand pick numbers, but that will never happen.

That's definitely a rarity these days, glad the lottery used common sense and kept it old school.

You've heard us talk about how bad computerized drawings are now here is our favorite real lottery drawing

Today, Lottery Post published a video on what we think are the best lottery drawings we've seen so far.

If you know Lottery Post, you know we strongly dislike computerized drawings, so much so that we made a video on it and started a petition for true lottery drawings years ago that is still garnering signatures today.

Recently, the German Lottery retired th... [ More ]
