well..........first the online thing happens where that goes down the drain and now tennessee probably goes computerized.i have never had more bad luck in the past year or so.i spent all of last year fighting the online gaming ban now i'll spend this year fighting this computer draws fiasco.yep i damn near had a heart attack from the dang shock of seeing that rebecca paul would even consider such a double cross.i'm afraid computer draws are the cancer of the lottery......

That's almost ancient history now in any case. This isn't 1776. Why do you think people run for elected office and spend man, many, many times what the job pays to get elected? They know how much power resides in the position. How many non-millionaires get elected to office and when they leave they are multi-millionaires? They easily take and encourage the "protests" of the people because they know they have the power, and therefore the last word. It's even worse with the non-elected bureaucrats. At least with elected officials, there is some accountabililty in that they have to run for election again. WIth the bureaucrats, they are in their positions until they retire or decide to go elsewhere. No accountability at all. If protestation makes you feel good, go for it. Just don't expect it will change what they plan to do. I agree with you about the politicians- especially the career ones ! I disagree with you about standing up for a belief or a principle. It must be done or else the system wins. You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything, as the song says..... Change : That remains to be seen.

You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything, as the song says..... Change : That remains to be seen. I agree with contacting politicians about this but we as players who don't want this to happen can also stop playing which will cause the lottery to see their downfall with a cut in revenue. That would be a good cause for them to change it(lottery) back or get rid of it. I don't think they would get rid of it after seeing all the money they made before. 1. contact the lottery and let your voice be heard 2. contact your politician 3. stop playing or don't play as much I love doubles and remember, it's just a game!!!!!!

That's a great story Todd. I hope Tennessee doesn't get it computerized in all games. I want all games to be fair (ball drawn).

Well, that's what they're sold by the vendors, but that tiny amount of money saved becomes a big loss in revenue when offset against all the discontented players. They don't tell the lottery about that part. DO any of these so called........... VENDoe's (and lobby groups) ?????
yes>>>>>> like Ven & Doe (like $$) tell the lottery board that they are REALLY selling..... QPs for...."real cheap"  wake-UP lottery player's....ONLY U know WHO.........!!!!!!!
is STUPID enough to play >>.."Quick TRIX"

For those that sent TN Lottery an email, has anyone heard back from them? I sent them a "nice" email and they sent me an automated message that someone would get back with me but haven't heard...just wondering.

I watched the lotto 5 drawing tonight and the lady said,"remember the new tennessee lotto drawing start saturday july 28th" so i guess that is the start of the RNG. our emails must have been ignored because the decision was already made. ill also put this in my blog
