Interesting way to avoid being hassled ?Reply
Here in California, the Lottery Officials will do a Security Interview of all winners who have won more than $350,000.00 This idea that the holder of a winning ticket is the rightful owner may be only cheap talk. The Security personnel knows the questions to ask to determine if a crime is about to be committed. Lottery tickets being like bearer bonds may not be fact. Security wants the buyer of the ticket to claim the prize. Good Luck to all LP members and staff.

VW - Clear Case of DECEPTION !Reply
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but random number generators are in fact easily programmable. The best place to view this is in casinos. All video slots, poker, etc. now use RNG's. These run constantly and when money is inserted freeze upon the selection at that precise moment in time. However, casinos can, and legally do, program varying odds into the RNG's. This is displayed as payout percentages. So, even with extreme levels of security measures in place, RNG's can be manipulated, if they

Lottery security chief: Rigging computerized game "sadly" possibleReply
The top threat to any lottery's integrity is its own information technology employees, a former lottery security chief told jurors He should have told them that the greatest threat is inadequate security protocols. Protocols that allow unauthorized software changes to go undetected for weeks on end. Protocols that don't allow them to know when security devices like surveillance systems are tampered with. Protocols that allow somebody to access the drawing computers without other people care

Iowa $16.5M Hot Lotto winner claims prize with two hours to spareReply
The money will not be paid to the winner until the lottery can complete the standard security process for a jackpot win. Rich said additional security is now required because more than half the prize-claim period for the jackpot expired. Not understanding the last sentence. Why would additional security be needed because of the late claim period? What questions will be asked that would not have been asked had this person decided to cash the ticket in earlier?

How The Winners, Not Numbers, Are Picked. A Theorem.Reply
Since security has to have that information to verify the winners' tickets, it's available somewhere and if someone in security is dishonest, they can find it. That what the security person at the Indiana lottery did a few years ago. His buddies who went to the town to buy the whole roll of tickets got caught and told on him. Distribution is not random DD

Which states and lottery games will you play once online gambling is legal?Reply
Pre tests are a part of the security function of the game to makes sure no tampering of the balls has been done. It's not so much a big deal about the machines malfunctioning. Pre tests are audited for security purposes. You propose for them to just release sets of balls for a drawing without doing any security measures. I can here the frigging phones now about how come peoples numbers didn't come out and there must be tampering of the balls. You know full well why they do pre te
