Wisconsin SuperCash $$Reply
Just sent WI Lottery an email. Years ago when numbers were drawn using mechanical balls, the drawing was televised. Now with computerized drawings all transparency is lost. Why aren't nightly computer drawings videotaped and displayed on the lottery website daily? Many people are curious on how that is done.

The man who cracked the lotteryNews Story
Crime story: A recounting of the biggest lottery scandal in history The file landed on Rob Sand's desk with something less than a thud. Despite holding the contents of an investigation still open after more than two years, the file was barely half an inch thick. Happy birthday, his boss said. It was not Rob Sand's birthday. His boss, an Iowa deputy attorney general named Thomas H. Miller, was retiring in July 2014 after nearly three decades of prosecuting everything from murder to fraud. H

Florida Pick 2 Could Be RiggedReply
Florida uses ball drawings, so the chances that it could be rigged are incredibly small you can witness the numbers being drawn. Plus the payouts on a Pick 2 game are the smallest of any lottery game drawn in Florida, so there would be much less incentive to rig a drawing. Be thankful you play the lottery in a state with traditional ball drawings. Those who play in a state with computerized drawings always have to be wondering if everything is A-OK. Other guys like Eddie Tipton could be out t

Indiana/IowaReply
By the way, I have confirmed with the Iowa Lottery that they have been using the Indiana drawings since July 1. It's a big win for players because now Iowa has real ball drawings instead of the in-state computerized drawings offered for the last three years. I included this info in a recent news story: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/313744

California: 9/1 - 9/30/2013Reply
Quick Observation for the Evening Draw: The trend is that digits 1/6 and 4/9 has been part of the winning numbers for the last 16 drawings and I am sure it will continue since these are computerized drawings

Georgia Lottery to conduct bonus Cash 4 drawingReply
LOL is right! I agree on the random sampling being better than the pre-tests. If Tenessee had done that when they switched over to computerized drawings, they may have discovered the faulty drawing computer program a month earlier. (Then again, if they stuck with real drawings, it may not have happened at all, and they might even be making more money today.)

Federal online gambling legislation clears big hurdleReply
This is a good thing especially the money part and consumer protection. No doubt the Debit card will be used by the consumer so the funds gambled are guaranteed to the house . Bad thing is if someone gets into that debit account and drains it, there is little one can do, in fact there is nothing you can do. If someone has the key to your piggy, it s all over. The more protection there is for the consumer, the better the whole thing is. Get the card s info and a card can be duplicated and dra

POLL - On The Whole Do The Lotteries Provide Truly Random Numbers?Reply
I'm a little questionable about computerized drawings, not completely sure about their randomness (I remember reading about that switch and also how auditors weren't going to investigate why certain errors occurred). When it comes to ball drawings yea, I definitely think they're random. Since every ball is weighed to be the exact same weight and measured to be the same size there's nothing but randomness.

The Magic Box! Is back!Reply
You have to use the previous drawings of your state. Look at the most recent drawings. Since your state has computerized drawings for P3 P4 I have nary a clue what to do for Arkansas I suggest look at Arkansas predictions and try to get an idea of what to do. 108 187 232 103.
