"People have to know that when they're watching the drawings, that what they're watching is real and if they're holding that ticket and they think they might have a chance to win and that they have an equal chance of having their number, their ball selected," she says.

you hear that computerized states with no balls? your players aren't getting a fair shot unless you have drawings with ping pong balls.

I sure hope they read the Lottery Post forums! Maybe they'll read the replies about reinstating Lotto Georgia in it's original format.

The key words that the lady spoke were, when lottery players watch the drawings, they have to know what they are watching are real.

Maybe the Florida lottery should listen to that and start televising the daily game drawings again, whatever the cost may be. Then those of us who have quit playing FL daily games, might start playing again

With Mega Millions at $120 Million and Power Ball at $300 Million, These two big boys should take a page from Euro Millions. ALL THE MONEY NOW, NO REDUCTIONS, NO TAXES! THIS IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE

The Governors of each state have the right to recall all elected representatives and Senators back home and tell them to get the job done. A boycot of the games will dry up revenues and the Govenors will listen.

I tell you, no lottery who uses computers to draw the numbers would agree to such a report.

Bet they read Lottery Post questions and speculation as to how security was handled regarding various games in other states, and did this piece to show the Georgia Lottery is vastly superior to others which are being doubted by some players.

Yes, Georgia Lottery has proper oversight and security.

If I had to choose to play only one state's lottery, it will be Georgia. It's gets it's own followers. To me it is as true as they come.

The Georgia Lottery had record-breaking sales last week a whopping 80 million dollars.

The lottery has been around for 13 years now and lottery officials say 86 percent of Georgians play. But is it a fair game? WALB News took a behind-the-scenes look to find out.

Every day, two lottery employees and an auditor get things ready for the drawings. A computer will determine which machines, even which balls will be used.
