Assuming it was shown in real time, it took over a minute for the first 3 cards to fall. Using the ball type machines, most lotteries draw Pick-3, Pick-4, Pick-5, and lotto in less than a minute.

Fascinating. There is something alluring about it, in that it is truly different.

I can see where people would be upset if their number falls away.

Well, of course not. But just in case you are, a company has come up with machine that draws cards instead of balls.

Check it out here.
