Indiana legislator attacks computerized lottery drawingsReply

Something to consider for those who live in a

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
Todd from one of your earlier posts I perceive that there are far fewer players who dislike mechanical drawing machines than those who dislike computerized drawings.

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
yes. before PA finaly drew a triple and a quad in their mid-day drawing, there was a lot of speculaton as to whether or not their mid-day drawings were rigged. with computerized drawings, integrity and fairness of the drawings will come into question, especially when there have been states that have released their results too soon, and take a long time from the cutoff to draw the numbers. i should hope that powerball or mega millions never sinks low enough to go to an RNG. the MUSL already does

Lottery petition attacks computerized drawingsReply
A computer can be hacked into and the program can be changed to produce any sequence of numbers that the hacker desires. If the hacker is clever enough they may be able to cover their tracks for some time, in the meantime taking the lottery -- and all of the other players -- for an expensive ride.I don't see why any state lottery would have the RNG hooked up to any kind of network that would put it at risk for being hacked. So this is a weak argument. Some or all of the savings by moving to

Lotto America to switch to computerized drawingsReply
I actually played Lotto America last year because the tickets were only a dollar and the odds were better. But I won't even play Lotto America again because they will use computerized drawings. Thank you so much for sending us this information.
