Pennsylvania Midday Investigation
I'm not saying the Pennsylvania Pick 3 Midday Drawing's are fixed but I would like to find out why there is a 30 minute cut-off.The actual simulated drawing is 1:35 PM but the cut-off time is 1:05 pm for the last ticket sold.The evening drawing I believe has a 5 minute cut-off.I would like to see a live drawing at 1:35 with real machines and real people.I would also like to see what the total amount paid out like the state of Georgia.I would also like to see an independent outside agency investi

Jack Whittaker in trouble with law!Reply
...but on a more serious note, on the evening of December 25th, 2002, I remember buying my tickets for the drawing. Am I sad that a portion of the four dollars that I spent on that drawing went to Jack Whittaker?...not really. I took a chance that evening, just as I do for every Powerball drawing. I don't know what the future PB jackpot winners will be like or how they will spend my dollar contributions. I simply continue my part (feeding the jackpot pool) thinking that someday maybe it'll be my

Pennsylvania Cash3ology StatsReply
Hi Hypersonig,Maybe it is used as a reference only. To see if there may be a possible pattern developing.You and I both play in Pennsylvania. I am interested in how they draw theMidday numbers. All I see is an animated drawing. Do they actually use the same machines as the evening draws and some how show the animated delivery of the 3 numbers.I would like to know the reasoning for why they do the Midday drawing like this. Why dont they have the same type of drawing as the evening?? Is it a
