POLL 3 of 3: Switching to mechanical ball drawingsReply
If Indiana's legislature suffered an attack collective integrity and ordered the Hoosier Lottery to revert to real lottery drawings, I would begin playing again, provided the drawings were broadcast on live television across the ENTIRE state. If they failed to take this step, I would continue to avoid their games.

Unbroadcast DrawingsReply
Nothing in Wisconsin is broadcast, because its all computer-picked numbers. You just have to trust that they aren't screwing around. Yeah, really.

describe how you got started with playing the lotteryReply
It all started when I was very, very young. I always loved watching the Florida Lottery drawings and the Illinois Lottery drawings (which is nationally broadcast on WGN). And my dad always played the Florida Lotto, and I always saw him getting tickets come Saturday night (it was once a week affair back then). Top that with their Flamingo mascot, and I was hooked a decade and a half before I could buy tickets.

Seeking Interview With Lotto WinnersReply
LOL. All I can say is try not too judgemental. We are talking about a small time broadcast company. Now if it had been WRAL-TV5 then we would have had something there.

Lottery draw witnessesReply
Maryland used to always have a witness. I haven't seen one in a long time though. The drawings take place in the studio where the news is broadcast except for special occasions when they take the game to events and such.

winning and losingReply
KRB03. Everybody don't broadcast their hits, prediction board or real. If you take a look at the prediction board you will see that more pick 4 straight hits from yesterday. 3 more if I'm not mistaken. They are our unsung heroes.

Mega Millions lottery winner to be revealed FridayReply
They only showed a few mnutes. The NJ Lottery guy started into how great they are and the news cut out. Never stuck around to meet the winners. CBS stated they would be on the noon broadcast - which could be any time within 12:00 to 12:30. I'm sure the reruns will be every where tonight.
