Iowa Lottery investigation highlights difficult balance between security and profitsReply
It seems ironic that the lottery that was allegedly cheated by Tipton's manipulation of an RNG drawing claims that profit isn't a factor in their security decisions. Since they've publicly claimed that it's possible to do that the only rational conclusion when they don't switch to ball drawings is that they're willing to trade security for profit or they think that ball drawings are just as susceptible to manipulation. I think it's fairly easy to make an RNG much harder to tamper with, but I'm n

Robinson's buy 6.2 Million $ home on 320 acrea in TNReply
Even if they lived in a normal neighborhood, calling 911 would take a while. I am pretty sure the property has a pretty sophisticated security system. I don't think they need 4 cave trolls roaming the premises when they can be alerted real-time to anything near the perimeter of their property. There are many wealthy individuals who own large estates and it seems their security/surveillance system are working fine.

Preliminary hearing rescheduled for Tommy Tipton in lottery rigging caseReply
Any incidents involving Tipton rigging the draw were a problem with security, not with the RNG. Those problems can be easily fixed by good security, but I'm not holding my breath.

It was one of those feel-good moments that lotteries love to promote when Lucky Larry Dawson smiled as he claimed a $9 million jackpot, surrounded by kids and grandkids.

i keep dreaming about a bankReply
A couple of thoughts came immediately to mind when I read your bank dream post. First, banks specifically are institutions that represent extreme security - both figuratively and literally. Having a lock on a situation may also play into the interpretation. On a very literal side, recently I have noted that bank box numbers seem significant to me - don't rule this out if there is a number relevant in your world. On the far side, the need for security in the world right now is pretty much on all

Man in Iraq wins $6.4 million Oregon Lottery jackpotReply
It's BS that only he gets anonymity for security reasons. What about the winners in actual Oregon that have to deal with security threats in the state? I heard about this on NPR news while driving this morning.
