Give Balls A ChanceReply
You don't understand. Computerized drawings is an improper procedure in itself.

That won't happen with computerized drawings as long as they have the proper procedures in place.

how are they going to draw the new megaReply
I believe the auditors can figure that out. If that wasn't auditable, computer drawings would be illegal. Computer drawings have to pass certain tests (except in the case of Indiana, where they admit the pick 3 and pick 4 drawings are fixed). A letter from the MUSL in this thread - https://www.lotterypost.com/threads.asp?tp=98302 - explained how computerized drawings do not have to compromise integrity. Have faith in the states.

They could have celebrities draw balls live on tv at some famous location to draw more attention to the game for record jackpots. If it's a computer drawing then no big potential marketing push. The whole point of these games should be to generate money for the states that participate.Excellent point!

People will still play even if they go computerized. As long as people lust for millions of dollars, they will not care how the numbers are drawn. I would still play even if they went computerized.I disagree. States with computerized drawings show definite signs of slower revenue growth than states without computerized dra

MO's overdue stats...
Just a heads-up about the MO's overdue stats.MO Midday is only 4 drawings out from having it's longest out for the year on the all odd stat.MO Evening is only 4 drawings out from having it's longest out for the year on the all even stat.MO Evening is only 7 drawings out from having it's longest out for the year on the all odd stat. For the year in this case means 271 drawings because we started the computerized drawings less than a year ago.Best of Luck Everyone,Bryan :)

Could it be programmed to pick certain numbers more frequently, thereby leaving more numbers unplayed to increase the chances of a jackpot rolling over? Their little scheme didn't work this time.
