ARe Hackers 1 step ahead in the lotto??I always had a hunch..Reply
I do find the transition to computerized draws disturbing because of the lack of transparency. There are ways to safeguard against tampering, the computer image could be securely kept and the MD5 checksum of it widely published. Indeed the software should be available for download and auditing in source code form. The machine used to run the software can also be securely kept and shouldn't be networked. The checksum of the software and the condition of the machine can be verified by an independe

Finding a lottery ticketReply
London, That's true, tickets are bearer indtruments, but there have been discussion here on LP kind of related to something like this. Especially the ones about clerks telling people they had losing tickets and the clerks tried to cash them, where it has come out that the lottery asks jackpt winners some questions and often they were on surveillance films. So on the scenario gobills presented in the OP, a couple of things could happen. A lot would depend on the person who bought the ticket

Cheated winner wants Texas Lottery to pay upReply
When the topic is man gets cheated out of a free can of Pepsi we'll keep you in mind, but this topic is about a man that bought Texas state lottery tickets from a licensed Texas Lottery retailer, took the tickets to a licensed Texas lottery retailer to be checked, and was scammed/cheated/hoodwinked/bamboozled/defrauded out of the true value of one of the tickets. Texas just like every other state issues licenses to various agents so in the Texas State law codes there is a legal definition of

What Is Your Real Profession??Reply
First of all, this is not your thread. I wouldn't reply to your thread if you paid me because it's a total waste of time replying to your long winded preaching which is just a constant rehash of the meaningless pep talk you've been spouting from the getgo. I must admit, I read some of it from time to time for the laughs. Thanks for the entertainment. Secondly, I was replying to Four4me. It seems you have a guilty conscience cause you felt I was referring to you and others who have come here i

THIS Is How It's Done (BIG PowerBall Win)Reply
If a system actually worked, the numbers would change when the system said they should change. That might mean playing the same numbers for a month, and then playing different numbers in each of the next 10 drawings and then using the same numbers for 3 in a row. From what I read it sounds like the numbers may be for 2 drawings, since he says he skipped a drawing because he had already won with those numbers and (because he clearly doesn't understand random probability) didn't think they were

$25M lottery scam aimed at elderly bustedNews Story
The feds on Tuesday dismantled an Israeli boiler-room operation that conned elderly U.S. victims out of $25 million by telling them they'd won a sweepstakes lottery. A dozen members of the international telemarketing ring were named in a three-count fraud indictment handed up yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court. Prosecutors say ring members bought more than 185,000 names from U.S.-based brokers to find victims to dupe into turning over hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to claim the

Pick 3/4 Business PartnerReply
Of course you have nothing to prove to me because you CAN'T ! I play for fun and had many systems in the past that proved themselves bad, just like yours. They all made bold and fantastic claims that failed miserably, like yours. So now, I just play a few bucks a week on hunches and win every so often when i get lucky. One major difference between you and me is that I've never made bold statements about how I win so much money, and had prove it to anyone on this board. The only match y

Tenn. wants to limit winningsReply
I once worked in a welfare office, before the reform took place, and it was quite educational. I thought most of the people who were getting food stamps were actually employed, but many had children and with most of the jobs in the area I lived in being low paying tourism jobs, it was hard to make it. During the slow season, we'd get an onslaught of hotel and restaurant workers who were having their hours cut back because of the lack of tourists to spend money in their workplaces. It was a case
