The daily Pick 3, Pick 4, and CashBall 225 games are now deliberately robbing players of their joy.

For the record, there were two Triples and two Quads since they started using RNG drawings. And as I said before, the players will decide with sales the type of drawings they want.

Every one should take note of the Cashball 225 winners when the Jackpot hits location in the state of Kentucky and start viewing the pay out details on each draw night because the pay out never reaches above 5 grand, ever wonder if the lottery is really rigged, well pick 5 $1 numbers and play them every day and don't change your numbers plus pick 5 $1 numbers on paper and don't play them just use them to see which numbers come up as winners because the results are shocking to say the least, one...

No computer hacker has ever successfully hacked a ping-pong ball.

It looks like you're taking about the Cash Ball EZ Match payoffs. They don't give Pick-3 and Pick-4 sales numbers, but those payoffs are on par as the payoffs before the change. A few years ago when the KY Lottery went to streaming drawings, their spokesman, Chip Polson said only 2% of the players watch the live drawings.

It's all about keeping their employees safe and the same reason millions of Americans are now laid off.

There weren't many winners in KY RNG games last night. You are correct. Let a bunch win for a few days then make for fewer winners.

Every state should also be required to post their test draw results also. Some do tennessee is horrible also.

What are the good, common Numbers the live random ball drawings had?

Just wondering.

Computerized systems are rigged, BIG time. All the good, common Numbers will cease.

From the comments, it starting to look like not very people understand how the KY Lottery conducted their live drawings.

Eight years ago they held a nightly live ball drawing on TV and then changed to live streaming their drawing on the Internet. When the changed was made, they added lived streaming their Midday drawings too. The thread about the live streaming the drawing had its share of critics too.

I'm assuming the ball drawings will be returned to live streaming eventually. They are s... [ More ]

Computer drawings are freaking horrible!

All state lotteries should be required to use a mechanical random number generator and be required to show their drawings live online so more people can watch.

I specifically only predict for states that use mechanical random number generators because of the high probability that states manipulate the outcome of drawings that use computer random number generators.

Now there are only 3 states (Texas, New Jersey North Carolina) that have a liv... [ More ]

Of course they would. They did it to suck you in for one last win so you would keep playing. If the average amount of daily winners falls off by quite a bit in the near future, then you'll know they won't be switching back to ball drawings anytime soon. The only alternative is for the players to stop playing completely. Maybe then they will see the error of their ways, but I doubt either one will happen.

California is just as bad. If they could swing the MM PB jackpots to computerized games, they would. Every game, except for scratchers is computerized. What's with the fascination?

Just you wait till another Eddie Tipton makes he's move while this bread is still baking, then you will hear We thought the games were safe.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. If they continue using an RNG when things get back to normal, KY players will decide if it's wise decision.

At least when it was physical drawings you saw it happen -

Hard not to be paranoid about something you cant see or know what goes on.

Not surprised people would go to another state to play - too bad some have to go to that level of effort just to play comfortably.

I hope you get some good luck your way.

I live in Illinois and we are computerized.

We hate it. The numbers coming in

are the worst combinations. I know

people are going to Indiana playing.

Unlucky-Kenny — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 21:02:24 GMT

That's the problem -

If its a physical drawing I think is this going to be rigged like Iowa?

If its a RNG I think Is that PC rigged to take into account all numbers previously bought? - I know a few people that believe this 100% no doubt - I am not one of them, but the thought crosses the mind once in a full moon.

I've never won millions of dollars - I guess its easy to be paranoid

don't know how, but they had a bunch of winners for Pick 3/4 mid-day. Personally don't play those, but will see what happens with my favorite Cashball 225.

Do you really need computerized drawings? I mean it's a person in a room with some balls spinning around in another ball. LOL. If people can come into a news studio everyday and do the news I think someone can come in for a few minutes and stand in front of a spinning ball.

Well, you won't ever see the lottery ever won in KY again. Come to think of it...I've never seen the jackpot won in KY. It's always the same states it seems. Thankfully I live in one where it happens. lol

States like computerized drawing because it cuts down on equipment costs and make it easier to rig the results.

Just received confirmation of this from KLC on private FB messenger. Said they're sorry to see me go. I wrote back I understand, just don't like RNG games.

duckman — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 15:51:53 GMT

Not good. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if more states go to computerized drawings due to virus concerns for staff members (and then never return to real drawings after the virus threat has passed).

It would be a strange twist of fate if a computer virus then infected and influenced the computerized drawings...

I think that Lotteries here in America have 1 - 800 #'s to report problems. Do the right thing.

It appears that Lotteries have created more security since the Iowa debacle and crime.

All I can say is there is nothing you can do about it. If there is a 'flaw' pattern you need to take advantage. It sucks that many States want to use computers to pick the numbers.

Coronavirus claims another victim: Real lottery drawings

By Todd Northrop

Starting today, you will no longer be able to watch how the Kentucky Lottery draws its daily numbers games because the drawings now take place inside a computer program.

The daily Pick 3, Pick 4, and CashBall 225 games are all transitioned to computerized drawings starting Monday, and will no longer be drawn using balls and machines. Instead, a dedicated computer system known as a random number generator will rand... [ More ]
