  Dear Friend:

  Thank you for your email inquiry.
  
  All outcomes are randomly generated for all draws that occur. For complete details regarding prize structure, odds, and promotional terms are outlined in the official game rules for Lotto America and other games, which are available on our website and at authorized retail locations.
  
  You can complete a FIOA request online at (I removed url link) or you can contact our Marketing Team directly at 202-645-8066 if you require additional insight, they will be happy to provide additional details you may seek.

  So I say game on

  lol. typical canned response. when dc lottery is finally audited, and it comes to light that they received hundreds of customer emails alerting them to the issue and they did nothing but deny and deflect and let the drawings continue with a software glitch, they are going to be in a lot more trouble than if they had halted the drawings and investigated the problem.

  Exactly!! 

  The serious long time players that study them know more about the games statistically than anyone else. No matter what the lottery officials say, when something is going on with the games that isn't right we'll notice it real quick.

  

  When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?  Good  Luck!!!

  If DC lottery is on notice, then they have no basis to deny any wins. Go for it.

     DO NOT BE AFRAID.

  if dc lottery goes the entire month of april drawing only singles for pick 5 twice a day, and i believe they will, the probability of that happening randomly due to chance is 0.3024^60. that works out to odds of 1 in 14,624,896,128,737,864,992,086,076,360,054. that is a 32-digit number.

  for comparison, the number of atoms in the human body is about 7 x 10^27, which is a 28-digit number.

  We may have a better chance of splitting a Neutrino with a Photon while spiraling down a Black Hole upside-down in a vat of Heavy Water sipping mint juleps charging my phone with a Casimir-Tesla free energy Quantum resonate pulse generator in an AntiGrav Uniduohexium Warp Drive.

  We have confirmed the problem and published an exclusive news story: https://www.lotterypost.com/news/358976

  Many thanks to Newkids06 for finding and documenting here, and thanks to all who analyzed and published findings here.

  The DC Lottery confirmed that Lottery Post was the first to identify the problem, which would have continued if we had not made them aware. Nicely done!

  The DC Lottery has implemented temporary fixes and will be announcing the error and fixes shortly.

  I guess Lottery Post/Todd/Kate have more pull than me when reporting the problem.

  Just saw this after I posted on the same topic. I noticed it today while just seeing what numbers were coming out in states other than FL. I was shocked. Any student of the games knows this is beyond abnormal. I can't imagine what DC players think. Definitely looks like an inside job. And its the only simple way to fix the game with favorable odds guaranteeing tax-free prizes.

  Likely a MISTAKE, rather than "inside job" (suggesting intent).
