You've also got the right to use punctuation and proper English. You even have the right to remain silent.

You have a right to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Fact of the matter is a human made a mistake and the State of South Carolina paid out on it anyway.

Way to go South Carolina, and any other state that goes the extra mile to keep the players happy.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

Those lottery balls were also color coded.

Being on live tv is a high-stress event. When you win MM or PB you might experience that yourself. So, give the host a break.

Good Luck LP members

Absolutely. A state using actual balls to draw instead of a random number generator, then honoring a miscall... I deem that pretty snip straight forward too!

The person who read the numbers as the balls came out of the machine saw the 9 and thought it was a 6, so they called a 6 on the air. But the number was actually 9, so they are paying both combinations. I'm not sure what you're complaining about, as you had two chances to win the drawing because of the error, and your allegation about them being liars and cheaters is ridiculous because technically they did not have to honor to 6 since it was the host's fault for calling the wrong number.

Other states may be tainted by an alleged lottery scam involving rigged winning numbers, but not South Carolina, says S.C. Education Lottery executive director Paula Harper Bethea.

We don't have the random-number generator in South Carolina, and we don't sell the Hot Lotto game, Bethea said Tuesday in response to a query.

Instead, she said, We do live draws, where a human being... [ More ]
