Results of some Wisconsin lottery games delayed

Wisconsin LotteryWisconsin Lottery: Results of some Wisconsin lottery games delayed

Results of three evening drawings of Wisconsin Lottery games were delayed Saturday night.

Lottery spokesman Andrew Bohage said the lottery has two computer systems whose information about wagers statewide and other details must match up exactly to call the results a legitimate drawing.

He said a problem or discrepancy in the systems Saturday evening delayed the drawings for the Megabucks, SuperCash and Badger 5 games.

State lottery staff, police and several independent auditors were cut off from outside communications from Saturday night into early Sunday, trying to figure out what the problem was.

A similar lock-down last month lasted several hours.

          Another reason Wisconsin should sell Hot Lotto instead of keeping its Megabucks going.
