Tennessee Lottery players unanimous in their discontent with drawingsPrevious TopicNext Topic

"Since the money generated by the lottery goes to the education board"

And it's the lottery director's job to get more money into the education fund each year. This can be done by running promotions to entice more play and increase revenues or by finding ways to lower operating expenses. Tennessee chose to cut cost by changing to RNG drawings.

Even without the drawing fiasco this was a bad business decision because the online games affected only amount to 11% of sales and that is an area where they could have increased revenues. But because the drawings were proved to be flawed, there is now probably no chance to increase revenues in that area.

The controllers only look at the bottom line and would not be concerned as long as the savings offset the decreased play. The cost of education goes up every year so the people distributing these funds will be affected the most when Ms Hargrove closed the door on future lottery growth potential.

Stack my point is the state is in business to make money the lottery generates money for the state and the lottery has failed in it attempt to generate more cash by using software instead of balls for their drawings. If the people in Tennessee or any other state want them to switch back to ball drawings then they have to take their case to the office which has accountability for the moneys they distribute. In Tennessee's case it's the comptrollers office. If someone convinces the boss in that department that switching back to ball drawings will generate more money for the state then it is quite possible he can move forward with a proposal to do so.

If an investigation is warranted and or being done it has nothing to do with them switching back to ball drawings it's about fraud.  

As it stands right now all Rebecca wants is for the inquires to go away so they can continue to hold their phony software drawings. And she can reap big bonuses on whatever her next move might be.

From what i gather the Tennessee lottery is it's own entity i don't know how this is possible someone has to have accountability for their department as well as someone in government should be above them whom dictates policy.

Oh and we can hem and haw about this all we want on lottery post but that isn't going to get them to change anything as far as the lottery goes. Something has to happen in a government capacity to get them to make changes and that means they need evidence and proof so someone can approach the lottery's board of directors and get it done.

If the people of Tennessee have no say so in the matter then who does. Not Rebecca i hope.

Just received this canned message from the Govenor of the great state of TN !  Appears to be a waste of time in expressing our lottery concerns to him also, but I would suggest that you take a moment and let him know your thoughts....just in case he ever wakes up ! Bob bg

Well it looks like this issue has died and faulty, flawed, or corrupt RNG's will remain in place.
