I didn't think of that. BUT you are right I guess. I do agree computer drawings aren't fair.

Well I've gotta take up for MO's Pick 3... It hit 888 here recently. If it was rigged that wouldn't hit right

better yet wouldn't it be nice if all number players could testify about how much money they've been cheated out of because of indiana computerized drawings.

Nope that wasn't it. The person from the Ga lottery commision who spoke with the manager specifically told her that the reason they were pulling the stack was because it had been sent to the wrong store. Also, I just checked and the Ga lottery is still selling the Jumbo Bucks Classic today. That is the ticket that this man won on. -Bonnie

Perhaps they pulled your stack along with everyone elses because all the top prizes had been won.

Howdy All,We had a game here in MO that was very short lived. It was called Xtra It was an online game. You would buy a ticket online and then the machine would hesitate and then print out your ticket. It would play the tune We're in the money if you won. There was no mention on the MO website that this was a fixed game. How I knew there was something fishy was the fact you could pick your own numbers just like any normal Pick 3 and then you paid an extra buck for the chance at this Xtra gam... [ More ]

That's why I don't play Scratch Offs I've always known that the whereabouts of Jackpot winning Tickets was a tightly held secret for only Privileged individuals.

Dang!!! What does it matter? I think it should be random! That makes me mad because the director of the GA lottery a few years ago is now our director. I'm going to email them and ask. (I know they'll lie but it's worth a shot).

And stories like this don't make people worry about computer drawings.This is a prime example of why lotteries need public or at least webcast drawings of balls. It's only scratch tickets that are unlikely to be random now, later it could be another game.

Apparently they aren't as random as we would like. I used to work in a convience store for about 10 years. Once this guy bought a Jumbo Bucks that won $50,000. The Ga Lottery commision called the store just as soon as the guy went to cash it in and told my store to jerk that particular stack from our stock. Apparently we weren't supposed to get that stack. I have no idea where it was supposed to go. He still got his money. It wasn't his fault that it was sent to the wrong place.-Bonnie... [ More ]

I thought Instant tickets were random. I didn't know the lottery knows where the top prizes are going to be? It seems unfair if you ask me.

Since I buy them in S.E. Indiana, I say my destiny was altered and they stole that money from a lottery player. Throw the book at them.
