Does anyone know the culprit?Reply
Oldham,I see your point, but think of it from D#'s perspective.He puts a lot of effort into churning out a great deal of winning combos. Then, someone takes his numbers, or takes variations on his numbers, and posts them as their own. If one comes in a winner, the fraud gets all the credit. Worse yet, once the fraud gets to be known as someone who picks a lot of winners, they go sell their numbers as a new system.I completely understand D#'s position on this. He does all the hard work, only fo

Do Rng Computers Know What Numbers Not To Pick?Reply
Lotteries allowing winners to be anonymous may be ok for ball drawings, but anonymity combined with RNG drawings makes fraud so easy to hide. And it's not just jackpot games at risk, but also regular Pick 3, 4, etc games too. If anything, the Pick games may be easier to exploit, though the reward far less. An insider could say select a Pick-4 number once a month or so that would be a guaranteed winner and play it heavily that day (or maybe for a few days before to make the winning wager seem

Either she was very stupid or tried to commit fraud.
Making the story short: Know the prize amount before handing a clerk your tickets!!!!!!! Long story: First of all, let me get some common sense out of the way: -If it says you win $10 on a scratch ticket, that means you win $10. 10 dollar prize does not mean I get 0 dollars back. -If the prize receipt says $10, that means the clerk owes you $10. I go to Indiana once every 1 or 2 months to meet-up with a friend for the last 3 years and I pick up Hoosier Lottery tickets on th

Braking the lawReply
What they may do to keep the games profitable and random some may call manipulation. Everything they do that affects the possible outcome is manipulation, but manipulation and fraud are completely different things. Increasing the number of PB outcomes is clearly a form of manipulation, but since they aren't trying to determine a fixed outcome it's obvioulsy not fraud. Similarly, using a specific machine in certain cases isn't fraud. OTOH, if the rules call for choosing ball sets and machine

It's Delayed. They are making this look Strange.Reply
Then again, they could be preventing any possibility of fraud. If a terminal sold tickets after the cut off, what not. Whom knows?

Wouldn't common sense tell you to wait for the check before speaking?Reply
On another forum you said you worked at a drug store chain. Are you currently in a line of work where you sell or validate lottery tickets, and is that why these kinds of stories interest you? If I were you I would not let my employer or coworkers know I had an avid interest in lottery fraud stories. They might start to wonder...

Would you still turn in dishonest Lottery Clerk even after they gave you your full amount?Reply
Hmm. You are right about the Owner(s)and Clerk(s) possibly being related and the Owner/s not care about attempted Fraud from Customers for only $5 or $100. The thought of the Owner/s possibly being in on attempted and successful thefts cross my mind. But complaing to Lottery Corporate would definitely make Lottery Officials want to look into the store where Clerk/s try or successfully steal Lottery Winners from Customers.

Problems even AFTER signing Lottery ticlet? :/
On YouTube, IIRC, under a Video about Lottery, a Poster commented, I signed my Winning ticket, but my Friend, stole it, used White out and signed HIS name instead. I was furious! Hmm. Would a Winning Ticket still be paid out if someone CLEARLY used White out and signed it again? That would look like Fraud if I were a Lottery Staff Member...
