Ok, you probably think, wtf, everyone seen this post before and theres a few websites that claim that the machines used to draw the numbers have been rigged, some claim that heavy gasses are used and sometime they use helium to make the balls lighter, etc... I personally dont believe the machines are rigged at all.
But, i do have a theory on how they cheat and i want to know what you guys think.
Before i begin, heres something that i have discovered. Theres a few websites out there that write stuff about the two big games "mega millions and powerball", they basically explain on a few pages how the game works, how they rigged the machines and a few other things. Those websites dont appear in search engines like Yahoo while adult content, hacking tutorials, how to make a bomb websites, how to grow drugs, how to cover up a murder all appear in the same search engines. The only reason a website wouldnt appear in a search engine is if it was "manually blocked" by the search engine people. Im a web developer and i know how websites and search engines work. Sometimes when i make a brand new website, it appears in google, yahoo, msn, etc the first day no matter how crappy the website is. So in other words, i think someone payed yahoo to manually delete the website from their search results to make sure people dont read that information. But thats just a theory. But i garantee that theres something kinky going on there.
Heres how i think the mega millions and powerball games are played. Since the games arent drawn live, that means they can do whatever they want to behind the closed doors and heres how it happens in my book. They film the event of balls drawn just like we see on tv, except they do it like 10 - 20 or X number of times in a single day. Lets say they recorded 20 different set of numbers on the day the game gets played, or perhaps the day before or 2 days before, the "when" doesnt matter, its how many different sets of numbers that they have recorded. When the game is closed for the day, about 10:45 EST they have 15 minutes to calculate which set of numbers will pay out the least, that means they will choose the set of numbers that doesnt have a jackpot winner "so that the jackpot number keeps growing" and the least amount of 250,000 or 200,000 prizes. and yes, occasionally all the numbers that have been drawn got played that day in which they will still choose the set of numbers that will pay out the least amount of money. After all, the lottery is out there to make profit, not give us free money.
Other thing to think about is, 15 minutes to shoot the draw, take the raw video data and convert it into something that a computer can work with, edit the video than convert the video into a broadcast format, and send or program the file to play at a certian time. I dont know if you guys know how broadcast video and shows work, but 15 minutes is a really really short time to do all of that. Most short night shows are shot in the morning and during the day so they have time to edit it.
What you guys think?
