All lotteries are rigged. I only play the mega millions because you never know when you'll get a fluke.
When you purchase a ticket, your number combination is logged and uploaded to the lottery system.
Its basically a simple database running on a UNIX OS where you can query it....similarly the way the assume information about you and send you junk mail. The database has a hot number, which is the lottery number in it. This lottery number is stored in every machine. If people pick automatic selection, it steers away from this number. If someone picks the number exactly, that statistic is uploaded into the mainframe and the number is regenerated according to the new entries in the database. Eventually, every single possible combination is picked during a drawing....which is possible....and the database chooses the coldest number or the number that has been least used.
When the drawing occurs, the balls NOT representing the the hot number are actually filled with heavy gasses so that they are least likely to rise in the machine....once in a while you get a fluke and one of the balls rises and you get a tiny payout.
The only way to get a true unfixed number would be to buy your ticket after the final computation has been done and the balls have already been rigged...which is unknown...could be anywhere from an hour to an hour.....by doing this, you are actually playing the real odds based on combinations.
Another way is by a fluke, when every number possible has bee selected (manually-not by automatic selection) and then the machine must pay out the coldest number combination.
The lottery terminals you see at the stores, gas stations, etc are like the enigmas. You would have to reverse engineer one without anyone know. If you steal one, the lottery commission will reupload their access codes to all the new machines........if you could reverse engineer it and decrypt the hot number, you will still have no change, because once you select the hot number, it will be changed...unless you do it after the final statistical generation......personall, i would hack the lottery network, and reprogram the database to give a false hot number....in my favor....so i would win......
Its like the nazis and the allies......we gotta get that enigma machine....
