Designated Machine vs Alternate MachineReply
The one thing that always irks me with pretests is like you said, if a number shows up more than expected they think it's a problem and change the ballset. But when a number shows up more than expected during the live drawings, they will tell you it's just random . So why wasn't it just random during the pretest? Why is it only a problem then? By pulling a ballset because a number hit more often, aren't they purposely trying to end a numbers hot streak? They can say it's for security reasons

$12M Texas Lottery jackpot set to expire MondayReply
And I'm willing to bet that many if not most of those children over the age of 8 is a gang member. MS-13 starts them very young, and kills the ones who do not follow orders. Many of these children crossing over are sociopaths who have been through brutal initiations. If they were not already socially 'damaged' before, then the brutal trip across the desert, rapes, kidnappings, murders, etc may have done what the gangs have not. It is a very sad reality. But you won't hear much about this in o

Math Police for State's using Computer DrawsReply
It's probably the same everywhere, WIN D. When some player notices a discrepancy they'll rush in and fix it and say they didn't know how that could have happened. But until then it's business as usual and Job One for their job security is protecting and enhancing the bottom line to keep the Muckety Mucks happy. But then I may be jaded, living in Tennessee, which is rated the worst of all the lotteries in the country

For Fun: Should your State Lottery enforce a rule that as a JP winner you must face the cameras..Reply
Lol! Yes, I believe that one thing you can do is disguise yourself - am I correct? 2 hours in the makeup chair should render you completely unrecognizable and be a lot of fun. Or if you prefer, a few minutes at the Dollar Store should come up with an alternative: crazy wig, Groucho Marx glasses, vampire teeth, etc. I'd still go overseas for 3 months though. After installing a monitored security system, storing any valuables (what few I have!) in a safe deposit box, dumping my old phone and e

Iowa Lottery officials track down $1 million winnerReply
Kudos to both the Iowa Lottery Headquarters security team and the Iowa Kum Go gas station for working together to solve this out-of-state 2nd prize Powerball winner caper! The article is interesting in that the owner appears to believe that he would have checked his bunch of tickets just in time, anyhow, to find the $1M winner, etc. within ... and claim in time. Maybe yes, maybe no! Regardless, congratulations newest 2nd prize claiming Powerball winner!

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I think this is similar to the case mentioned the other day of retailers keeping cashed tickets. Some states' require that the lottery retailer deface a ticket upon redemption, again, as an anti-fraud measure. In my experience though, most of the time the clerk doesn't do this....they'll just staple a validation receipt to the ticket and throw it in a drawer. For these reasons I try to record/photograph my winning tickets prior to cashing them in. Although a previously-validated ticket may no

does the lottery commision know where the jackpot insatant tickets goReply
I think you're referring to William C. Foreman, lottery security cough, cough employee who tipped off his lackeys to go buy out the tickets from a store to snag the jackpot winning ticket. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/99979 Yeah, someone always knows where the scratch prizes are. Not necessarily the commission, they are not usually involved with operations. And lottery operations doesn't have it, they rely on the vendor's computers. So you hope there is sufficient separation between th

New money vs. Old moneyReply
Sorry, no tears shed here for poor little rich boys. With great power and wealth comes great responsibility. Whether you're rich by dynasty or by lottery, deal with it. No whining. Get security, get contingencies, done. None of this Oh, I'm a poor little millionare/billionaire... allowed here. And we're not talking about the deceased, the father's and grandfathers who actually built the company from scratch. We're talking about the spoiled kids and grandkids of that wealth who inherited old m
