Undercover lottery investigation tests store clerks' honestyReply
I can't watch the videos but if the statements in the article concerning the New York Lottery's actions in relation to this sting are definitive of the situation then heads should roll in the upper echelons of the New York Lottery. It is unfreakingbelievable and unconscionable that the New York Lottery would give potential crooks, cheats and thieves in their network a heads-up on someone trying to catch them in the act. They should have welcomed and been actively involved and participating in

Official wants fraud probe of Tennessee LotteryReply
I believe that statement was made to take the attention from who would benefit the most by having a rigged drawing. When Hargrove announced the Tennessee Lottery was going to computer drawings she sited to maximize dollars for education as one of the reasons. When players began pointing out a possible problem with the new computer drawings because no doubles were drawn, they were told that security had looked into it to insure integrity of its games to maximize dollars for education .
