digital drawingsReply
hey dude. go to PA. ask them if you can witness a live drawing. they would be more than happy to let you, provided you are 55 or older. aldo, TX reported a story a while back about a player who witnessed the live pick 3 drawing, and hit on that very same drawing. states WILL let you witness the drawings. some of them will actually let you draw the numbers yourself. every night at 7, when the PA lotery drawing goes on the air, you will see a different person draw the numbers. back before WA stopp

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
I think a player can know with confidence (as opposed to knowing absolutely) by understanding the process. Though not exactly the same, both mechanical and RNG's have similar issues. Most players can feel comfortable knowing that the RNG is designed and built by one company, then torn apart and reviewed by highly skilled independent testing firms and is then evaluated again by the lottery and/or audit firm. All components are examined to ensure that no wireless capability exists.RNG drawing

PowerBall Drawing for 10/09/04
I know everyone else is thinking about 10/6 PB jackpot, but if there is no jackpot winner Wednesday the jackpot will grow to over $200M and many people will be forming pools at the last minute for Saturday drawings. In Ohio that means someone will have to drive out of state to buy those tickets. This is the time to draw up a contract of understanding, decided cost and size of the pool, and who will be in charge. Players should be able to see the numbers they are playing before the drawing. F

Missouri Lottery Ignites Controversy with Computerized DrawingsReply
Interesting the offending press release seems to have vanished off the Missouri lottery web site. They now have this which makes it sound like they are continuing regular type draws, but I suspect it's a trick to wean players off the normal draw with real balls instead of the computerized fake drawing. Pick 3 tickets will be in high demand starting Monday, July 26. To kick off the new midday drawings, the Missouri Lottery will run a four-week Pick 3 Midday Bonus Numbers Promotion, in which midd

I got an idea.Reply
Quote: Originally posted by DoctorEw220 on July 09, 2004I got this idea, and I want to send it in to the lotteries and see what they think of it, but I would like your opinion first. Let's say that the jackpot were capped for a drawing at the estimated annuity value that is advertised, and the excess jackpot money would fund future rollovers. Here's an example to clear up any confusion. Let's say that the powerball jackpot was at $190 million, but sales were enough to drive the jackpot to $21
