What's the Purpose of the Printed Time of Purchase on Tickets, If Drawing is 15 min to 1 hr Later?Reply
Every ticket has a unique serial number that corresponds to a record in the central database. In terms of the lottery identifying a ticket as a winner (or loser) that serial number, whether it's printed as a series of numbers or as a barcode, is the only thing that's necessary. The only sensible reason to print anything else on the ticket is for the player's benefit, so the clerk will have a redundant method of knowing how much to charge for the ticket (and one that will be accurate if they didn

Lottery losers could get paid after lottery scam lawsuit settles for $4.3 millionReply
Colorado Winner Denied Defrauded Share Of Jackpot This is the hidden side of what rigging the lottery does. Amir Massihzadeh from Boulder, Colorado had a nice win way back in 2005. He was happy, he got $568,990. Until in September 2017 when he discovered that both of the other 2 winning tickets were down to the Tipton brothers. So Amir should have got the full jackpot, right? Well, maybe, and that s what he and his lawyers thought. But the Colorado Court of Appeals has just said no .

Not A System: Studying A DigitReply
The 2 ball odd sum hit last night. Winner 225. Ever since WC brought out pick 2 and pick 4 the repeating combos for pick 3 have been crazy. It's all random though, right Eddie Tipton.?? WC digit 6 is tilted towards the even sums. Currently 12 to 2. The N.S. odd is out 19 skips. Total of 25 odd combos to choose from.

how could the computer find patterns in a lottery?Reply
Re: My last post. I am in no way saying or implying that all non-Quick Pick methods are illegal. People like Tipton who use their knowledge and access to rig a game are engaging in criminal conduct. The Australians broke no laws. They just took advantage of lax or non-existent lottery procedures in Virginia. The MIT students didn't violate any laws. They, like the Australians, took advantage of a situation that the Mass. lottery folks weren't immediately aware of. The prizes were

FL Lottery rigged (from ex-lotto official?)Reply
Allegedly you know more about math and statistics than I do. Assumptions(which you are doing) are the mothers of all screw-ups. (see Eddie Tipton) IF there wasn't a winner at a game of chance, I would think that something was wrong. I would greatly appreciate knowing about deception backed by facts, not some article that was posted on that bastion of truth known as Google Your postings are in fact condescending and Bigoted... I know more about statistics and math than you In your

I am CONVINCED only way you WIN BIG if they let you win!Reply
PB = 1 in 292,201,338 MM = 1 in 302,575,350 Texas Lotto = 1 in 25,827,165 I will repeat what I've said before. With odds like those, rigging is not necessary. Those are REALLY BIG NUMBERS. Why would MUSL or state lotteries risk killing the goose laying the golden egg when the odds of any game are against winning? Even smaller games. I'm not talking about a rogue like Tipton. I'm talking about the lottery commissions. No, I am not a lottery employee. Just a normal guy that love

Lottery rigging mastermind sentenced to 25 years in prisonReply
8/22/2017 . . . Tipton was formerly a programmer with the Multi-State Lottery Association, the agency that administers some state lottery drawings. He designed and maintained software for computerized random number generators used to select winning lottery numbers. . . ================================================== Oh Boy!! And THEY said it couldn't be rigged! Doesn't surprise me one bit! His sentence was to light IMHO! So, by definition, were these random dr

Distribution of Winners in Instant Ticket Packs - How is it done?Reply
For scratchers the necessary number of winning tickets have to be deliberately printed, so they're clearly not random in the same way winning tickets are for PB. As for minimum guarantees in each pack, they can easily do that while still making the position of winning tickets within each pack random. I'm also sure that it's a safe bet that the minimum guarantee is significantly below the average value of winners per pack. The purpose would just be to ensure that no pack is 100% losers even thoug

First lawsuit in state lottery-fixing scandal seeks millionsReply
The lottery said the jackpot was won And we all know that it turns out that they were wrong. and even lowered the prize for the next drawing. Well, duh. They always reset the jackpot after they think there has been a jackpot winner. Since there wasn't really a winner the jackpot should have rolled over instead of being reset. Any winning case against a lottery that forces it to pay non-traditional prize money will set a precedent That's true, but a precedent in a case about

First lawsuit in state lottery-fixing scandal seeks millionsReply
it's about a jackpot that was never paid out. It's about a jackpot that was never won. That's completely different than a jackpot that was won but not claimed by the winner. I'll ask again: do you understand that there's a difference? The court will decide if Dawson has a legitimate claim. If they do decide his claim is legitimate it will be based on the argument that the jackpot should have been bigger because Tipton didn't win the earlier jackpot, not because it wasn't paid. o
