      <description><![CDATA[Yes, I also figured the FL Raffle has to be computerized.  After all, they are picking 10 millionaires and 20 $100,000 winners and 100 $10,000 winners.  I doubt if they will spend the time picking the winners one by one. Also, since the 6 digit number is being  randomly  chosen by the terminal and I'm assuming it's also silmutaneously entered into the drawing. How does the player know this is being done?  I guess like the electronic voting machines, you just have to keep the faith that your info... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/news/145185/718017">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Am glad they have this in nj.<br /><br />I am assuming the drawing is computerized because how else would it be done? Being a SIX-DIGIT number (I guess 000001 thru 500000), it would be impossible to use a draw machine (you might if you had 5 digits and one of them was only 0 thru 4), and with 500,000 tickets it would be difficult to have a person pick it from some giant drum. The only practical way is a RNG and thus you wouldn't see much if they showed it to the public. I just hope they only use this RN...

      <description><![CDATA[Looks like lots of states are jumping on the bandwagon that Pa. started a year ago.  I'm not a $20 raffle fan, despite it's charms, but do agree that if one is going to splurge $20 on lottery tickets at one time, scratch offs is the way to go, no matter what the denomination.<br /><br />I do find it ironic, that when Pa. started it's original lottery in 1972, one of the things I heard quoted is that one of the intents of having a lottery in Pa. was to keep the money in the state, and not have people goi...
