Minnesota ruins Gopher 5 game again.
First they change to computerized drawings.Now they are changing the matrix from 5/42 with a bonus number to a 5/47 game with no bonus number.http://www.lottery.state.mn.us/numbers.html#G5 Looks like I'm going to be saving $10 a week now. No more Gopher 5 for me.

Todd For California Lottery CommissionerReply
Todd, I think you would be a good Lottery commissioner. If the CA governor appoints you as lottery commisioner, I would recommend you to eliminate the computerized drawings from every CA game. In Daily Derby, the horse race will be computerized, but the three digit race [Example: 1:40.00 to 1:49.99] should be in a ball machine like Daily 3 and Midday 3. What do you think Todd of my suggestion?

Indiana Lottery has limit for Pick 3 and Pick 4 NumbersReply
I totally agree Jeff, and I'm so sorry that you live in a state that refuses to do what it takes to energize its player base. Computerized drawings are a large reason for the horrible state of affairs at the Indiana Lottery.

Todd - Happy BirthdayReply
Happy Birthday to you Todd. Lets hope most of the computerized drawings are eliminated. I hope there are going to be more ball machines and become more fair in the future.

North Carolina Lottery is a GoReply
It looks close enough to passing for another round of letters to legislators:1. MegaMillions rather than Powerball2. No computerized drawings!(both points made in the first round also but need to refresh their memories!)Congrats NC on being one step closer!

very important poll-computer drawsReply
It would be a tradegy that all lotto draws are computerized. I wished that almost all the draws are going to a ball machine random draw because computerized drawings means fewer winners and bigger jackpots.

computerized powerball and mega millionsReply
I could see Powerball going to computerized drawings if they have another huge second prize payout again this year like they had twice already. That way they could rig the outcomes to exclude frequently played white ball combinations so it doesn't happen again.

computerized powerball and mega millionsReply
It would be a tragedy to see PB and MM go back to computerized drawings. I agree with this one LOTTOMIKE. I think PB, MM, and all CA lotto games [SLP, Fantasy 5, and Pick 3] should stay in ball games in a random order.

computer states switching back to ballsReply
If any switch back, it will be Indiana first considering they have some local politicians that don't believe in the computerized drawings either. Also, with all the investigations that IN has gone through or is going through, I think they will be the first....if anyone does.....It only takes one to flip flop to give the rest of us a chance...Bryan :)

Hoosier Lottery insists computers are better than ball drawingsReply
No, my issues have nothing to do with some psycho-babble like that. There are real, down-to-earth reasons why computerized drawings are no good. Many of those reasons are listed on the petition page. Have you taken the time to read it?
