Now that you've created a new and separate topic for complaining about the payouts in the Tennessee Lottery, please place any future complaints you may have on this topic into this one thread. I have no problem with people complaining about their lottery, but the last thing anyone wants to read is for those complaints to be sprinkled into every single topic involving their state lottery. There was a Lottery Post member a few years ago who would complain about the New York Lottery's low pay

POLL 2 of 3: Switching to computerized drawingsReply
Ohio's new Ten-Oh game is computerized but it's the type of game that I believe falls into the grey area because even if it was ball drawn, they still wouldn't show the live drawing because of time restraints. However games like Pick-3 and Pick-4 have always been ball drawn, including the Midday draws that are not shown live. The Evening drawings have become a tradition where people will reach for the remote at 7:25 PM and since the very first Pick-3 draw in 1979, players watched 3 sets of n

Tennessee Lottery computerized drawings flawed since inceptionReply
I Don't Like It Either! I like to witness the drawing in real time; mechanical, not computerized. Computerized drawings..... anything can happen. When you got a huge Jackpot up for grabs, people are going to be P/O! They're NOT going to be happy campers! To say the least Here in Michigan, the 3 digit game, and 4 digit game are still mechanical. But the Keno, Fantasy 5, and Classic Lotto 47.... I'm not so sure. Everytime I looked at the drawings on tv @ 7:29pm here in MI, and after the

lottery being taken over by computerized drawsReply
four4me wrote Plan and simple hard core lottery players don't want computerized drawings. And the casual players could care less. It's a toss up who there most customers are. I'd like to think it's the regular players who play the most throughout the years and it should be them who determine if they go computerized or not. I think the different lotteries already know how many hardcore players they have versus the others. And the others far outnumber the hard core players. All the lot

Why states go RNG drawingsReply
Excellent points, I agree. I think your conclusion is dead-on, and there are definitely people who will either stop playing, or who will play less. These lottery directors in large part are not people who get their ideas from lottery players. They get their ideas from (a) people who report to them and (b) the systems vendors. If you listened to both those types of people all the time, you would start to believe that computerized drawings are great too. I have listened to the sales pit

what computerized state is easiestReply
Lottomike, Wow ... it's ironic that you say that because I hit in both California and Delaware on the same day last week at the Coin Site. I have to agree with you, though, in that it is harder to hit on computer draws in some states ..... or just computer draws in general. Computers ARE NOT as random as they are deemed to be. My advise to you all ......... please sign the petition to get rid of computerized drawings. Ball draws take some of the slime ball element out of the lottery a
