Texas Lottery confirms that Quick Picks are not generated by "central computer"Reply
The problem I am having with your statements is that you are being vague about where you believe there is manipulation. When we are talking about rigging a drawing , that specifically refers to altering the lottery drawing machine -- or the balls that get drawn from it -- in order to make certain numbers come out.

How to Prove Your Lottery IS Fixed?Reply
I am new. The first thing I picked up on LP was a difference in terms: lotto and lottery... and I still get 'em mixed up. The wife of a kid I grew up with just finished her career in a State lotto/lottery commission admin office. The State began with Power ball, then added P3 later on...

But in conversation with my old pal and his wife regard

N.C. Lottery conviction sends message about disclosureReply
NCPicks: Yes, Indiana has an attorney general, and he has been apprised of the situation. His response, however, serves to illustrate the mentality we're up against. He wrote back and told us that, if any wrongdoing is proven, his office will be defending the crooked lottery officials. We've contacted congressmen, senators and our governor, met with state representatives, lottery officials, prosecuting attorneys, the Marion County Grand Jury, the state police and many, many others.

Landmark bill would ban computerized lottery drawings in DelawareReply
Hey, Todd. Swiss cheese? I don't see you filling in any of those holes with facts or references or experience from visiting a gaming operation and seeing something amiss. You do miss the point, and I am certain you did not intend to insult by insinuating I am a lotery person out to battle the cynics and naysayers...You see, while all of the cynics and naysayers are worried about whether a draw method is rigged (which isn't happening at the hands of any state or casino in any small conspiracy, at
