In a state that has 2 pick 3 drawings a day 60 - 62 draws you can expect anywhere from 18 to 20 doubles a month sometimes more sometimes less

if you have 1 triple a month then your doing great.

triples usually come 80 to 120 days apart.

of course none of this is exact science but it is about averages.

Lets see how long will it take before they find another error. They have let 6 doubles fall this week.. When are they going to let tripples fall. That is 6 doubles sent today at midday, who knows what evening will bring. I have quit playing cash 3. I only have one number that i play in cash4.

hi all ; i think the lottery of tenn, or somebody who cause this error should be liably.. if you have your lossing tickets from playing double number bets.. you should get your money back.. THATS LIKE PLAYING CARDS WITH A STACK DECK OF CARDS.. YESSSSSSSSSS THAT IS CHEATING TO ME ... I HOPE THE PEOPLE OF TENN DONT LET THESE PEOPLE GET A WAY WITH THIS....

Actually I think the lottery does pay him. It's called the Tennessee Education Lottery . The more the lottery makes the more goes to students who pay his salary.

Do you send these stories out to the mainstream media also? Maybe as a press release? I'd love to see one of them pick it up. Even if it were just within TN state like a local news station or daily paper, I think it would have an impact.

I feel passionate about this because I know in my heart something is very wrong. More specifically, I know that the lottery players of Tennessee are being wronged. They deserve better than this.

good job Todd we want the lottery to know they cant lie to us anymore. the more stories you make the more there is online for tennessee players to read and realize what is really going and what isnt being reported in your local news.

She might eat those words, but then she'll hurl them right back up. We've got a long way to go before they'll change.

Frank Harrell, chairman of the biostatistics department at Vanderbilt University, added that computers could even be more effective in generating random numbers than lottery balls.

The chance of a glitch is so nil, Harrell said.

By Todd Northrop

In early August, when Tennessee Lottery players began seeing the effects of the state's new computerized drawing system, and didn't like what they saw, the lottery's spokeswoman responded with reassuring words.

Now she is forced to eat those words.

The security and integrity of our games is of utmost importance, said Kym Gerlock, a spokeswoman for the Lottery. There's no reason to doubt these drawings or question the integrity of how we do th... [ More ]
