Newspaper editorial in favor of authentic lottery drawingsNews Story
Lottery balls are preferred The Leaf-Chronicle Clarksville, Tennessee Wednesday, January 16, 2008 People do not completely trust computers. They may use them for work and for pleasure, but they don't have absolute confidence in them or in those who program them. When it comes to the state lottery, confidence was shaken more because of a malfunction regarding the lottery's new random-number-generating computers. For weeks last summer, the Cash 3 and Cash 4 games would not produce re

You know you're a die-hard lottery player when: You see a number repeated in the course of a day and have to play it. You go to WGN-TV at 9:22 pm no matter what else is on. (Or your local state drawing broadcast). You've played your power bill or phone bill amount as a pick 3 or as a pick 4 (including the cents). Your favorite book of the Bible is the book of Numbers! You've played the Sunday NFL scores for a Pick 5 or Pick 6. You've played license plates- your own and others

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
Well, where should I start? I believe that, for the most part, state-run lotteries are honest games but, like any other industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars, they're subject to an element of deception, fraud and corruption. I live in Indiana (not on purpose; my wife is from here), and I've played almost every online game they offer at one time or another. I bought an expensive Pick-4 system last year and used it religiously every day for several months, without a single hit.
