would you play if.....Reply
I said I would still play, but I actually prefer it the way it IS right now. Sure, it may be disappointing to many people when there is a single winner for say a $100M or $200M annuitized jackpot, but if I was that winner, I would be somewhat disappointed sharing that jackpot with 1 or 2 other winners. I like that if someone wins a sub $75M annuitized jackpot prize that it is highly likely that winner will be the sole winner. Also, I would not be in agreement with the above recommended c

I have a questionReply
Thanks Todd...I was waiting for you to respond. Not sure, if the system for raffles works the same way from state to state as Ontario does. I will refer to our old Winner Take All nightly raffle game with a guaranteed winner in Ontario that ended last year. First the lottery terminal generates the ticket selection then it is stored as an ENTRY number (not as the numbers on the ticket). Now the control number/bar code number in Ontario is actually attached to an entry number ie. 34859.

Florida Results - An error?Reply
Absolutely correct. It kinda bugs me that there is such a weak link in the chain (a human being!), but when something is working well most of the time and it doesn't cost much (a few minutes of time each day), it tends to get little attention, and little desire by management to throw money at it. The lotteries should hire me to act as their technical specialist to work with GTECH and/or Scientific Games (whichever is in their state) to develop a bullet-proof automated system for communicatin

How Western Canada does thier Pick 3 draw
I sent a request to wclc asking how the draw is done here is the response i got. Dear Jamie, Thank you for your inquiry to Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC). There are two stand-alone computerized draw machines used for WCLC s regional games such as WESTERN 649, EXTRA and PICK 3. They are located in a secure location that is monitored by video surveillance 24 hours a day. An external auditor, who oversees the draw, selects which draw machine is to be used for any given

Fixed LotteriesReply
Coin, Actually what happened was the paper and pencil crowd that was tracking the numbers started playing the number that wasn't there because, hey, it's due, you know! And then they assumed somebody from the Lottery Commission pocketed those balls thus rigging the game so they couldn't win. I played the Ohio Pick-3 when it began in 1979 and hit the second draw, straight and boxed, by playing the 3 digits number off my license plate (647). That s when I learned to ask the clerk

Lost In Alberta?Reply
A reply from wclc Because verifying the Retail location is part of the security procedure we use to confirm that a ticket presented is indeed a winning ticket, specific information about where a winning ticket is sold is not released until the prize is claimed. However, we can tell you that the June 7, 2006 LOTTO 6/49 $14.9 Million prize was won on a ticket purchased in Alberta, but outside of the cities of Calgary and Edmonton

Florida Lotto jackpot rolls over to $9 millionReply
s5thomps: I can not answer your question with total certainty but I will give you this. Over the past several months, as I recall, there have been several polls on LP that have asked if you have won x amounts of dollars. One of the choices was over a million. I think that several people answered yes. Obviously, all the poll expected you to do was to check mark your pick. If everyone that answered yes was telling the truth, then it appears that several people have won a lot. Most peopl

real drawings and predetermined drawsReply
When you step back and look at it, you have to conclude that there are a lot of folks involved in conducting a lottery drawing. You have auditors, recorders, security and others. I don't know the total number, but, I believe they are trying to do the best job they can. Now, if the lottery director or operator, or whomever, decides to put in a fix, to increase the jackpot, someone on that drawing team is going to yell 'foul' and call the local news media. I was a newspaper reporter for
