My support for MUSL Hot Lotto has fadedReply
You're absolute right, JS9. Of course, the big proponents of computerized drawings would say how they have all these checksum algorithms and security protocols, etc., and nothing of the sort could ever slip by them.

And you're telling me that some sub-$100 million company can have a better

Why so much greed?Reply
Hi, Todd. Are you the man who is fighting against computerized drawings? I loved that debate. I, too, hope that it never comes to pass.

Those balls mean something that a computer print-out never will. As for people being fans of the lottery... nah, it's just straight greed. A lottery can only go up and up and up so high. Yes, it's fun to watch the
