An Idea for Mega MillionsReply

Quick Pick Scam for the states ?Reply
that would have to assume that the state knows what numbers are going to come out or a group of numbers designed to create large jackpots - we know megamillions doesnt have large jackpots and powerball also gets won occationally at really low amouts also if people learned that the lottery was in fact not random than no one would buy tickets.in this day of leaks - mostly with people whom have an agenda- the lottery would inevitably have a pissed off employee that would report and verify such non-
