Michigan used to be a ball drawing state but in 2002 went to all RNG except for the pick 3 and pick 4.

All the RNG drawings are conducted in Michigan. The people making the integrity argument never complained about this.

The Lucky for Life numbers according to a web search are drawn in Des Moines Iowa out of the control of the Michiga... [ More ]

Michigan is run by Communists - best advice: Get the hell out before they take your money and give you nothing in return except hate and envy.

House bill 4048, sponsored by state Representative Pat Outman, is currently a hot topic, especially considering the looming $1.73 billion Powerball jackpot that has lottery players across the nation in a tic... [ More ]
