Random Skew Vs BiasReply
I've read that there are formulas that mathematicians can use to calculate the parameters of randomness and bias of any event. I would imagine the lotteries audit their drawings and prizes payouts and investigate whenever those events are not within the expected parameters. When PowerBall had all those 5of5 wins last year it triggered an investigation that ended at a fortune cookie factory in New York.

Playing Overseas / No taxes?Reply
If you're paying the taxes on it, the IRS doesn't care where the income came from. The law says that transactions of 10 grand and more have to be reported, but that doesn't mean reports are only required for single transactions of 10 grand or more. Structured transactions totaling 10 grand are more are considered one transaction for reporting purposes. One example would be making a series of $1000 cash payments to a car dealer totaling 10 grand or more. Reports won't always be filed when they

Lotto South Continues on record rollReply
I always have some plays that are all or partial random numbers. They regularly audit the lotteries for randomness. Hitting five or six numbers one selects based on historical statistics would be extremely rare.

Lower tier prize confirmations?Reply
I don't see a problem with the final audit. This is not guessimate numbers, this is actual state treasury numbers. Fudging those equates to jail time.

Clerk admits stealing Indiana lottery ticketsReply
$27,013.20 worth of tickets for $2,500.00 restitution, sounds like steeling tickets is cheaper than paying for them and if she had gotten lucky and won a big prize she could have fixed the books. I think they should also recheck the audit that came up with the 20 ticket, maybe it included a missing tootsie pop.RJOh
