EXCLUSIVE: Weeks-long computerized draw error prevented many DC Lottery tickets from winning a prizeReply
I have a bit of sympathy about that response that players were getting from the lottery, mainly because the lotteries all get accused by angry gamblers daily of being rigged. So the handful of messages they might have received as a result of this drawing error were likely dwarfed by the daily onslaught of similar messages that do not have a shred of proof.

Second, in the following drawing on 5/2, miraculously FL and TX have grand prize winners. What really raises suspicion is that 4 out of 5 numbers were outside of w

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Here's proof that the drawing is random This drawing is probably proof that plenty of people play patterns, and certain proof that certain numbers coming up results in a number of winners that's only random in that whatever factor caused them to choose their numbers happened to match one of the combinations in the small subset of combinations that match the possible patterns.
