If Powerball switches to RNG, it will be it's demise as most of us will never buy a ticket again, the likely hood of fraud is just too great for most of us to accept.

Massachusetts family returns winning scratch-off worth $1 million to customer who threw it outReply
I would lean to say it's illegal too. Retailer's could lie to their customers and tell them their scratch off is not a winner when it indeed is. That's fraud.
