That's an excellent idea!!!

I'll write down the MM numbers, send them to the TV station and have the announcer read them instead of those goofy numbers on the ping pong balls.

My vote is yes. I would write down the winning numbers of MM and/or CA SLP on television or lottery drawing live.

I voted Yes. First, I'd like to see the mechanical drawing and then sit in on a computerized drawing.

Actually I am going to the DC Raffle drawing on Tuesday the 28th. The DC Lottery sent me an invite and I replied, was one of the first 50 (apparently only 100 replied overall) and was invited to go.

I am only attending to see what it is like and also they are giving some nice prizes..scratch-offs, t-shirts, etc. to attendees. I am dragging my non-lottery playing wife since it is on the way to work and is Tuesday morning (an odd time to do this I think). And free coffee and donuts!

So I

In my state, the only button to press is the one on the computer that picks the numbers .

That's true Yukio ! MANY countries use live shows to do the draws, using the audience members to press the button. In Ontario for 15 years, a live lottery Wintario, would travel every week to a different town, village and draw its numbers from the community. These people known as button pressers would be from the town. They might be the mayor, a recent Wintario winner, a high school mascot, or Joe Blow off the street. True story: A gentleman one night at a Wintario draw show in Hunts... [ More ]

Absolutely ! I currently attend lottery draws here in Ontario. In fact anyone can go to a lottery draw. All our draws are open to the public, they are also done in a storefront window in downtown Toronto. There's about 7 games drawn for example using a Saturday night schedule. What is great about this is that you see it happens legitimately, that even the draws people buy tickets and lose, and it's really a fun night out. All numbers are video recorded. It's really set up like a game s... [ More ]

Wasn't this recently asked? I said no because I'm pretty certain the people who witness a drawing can't participate in the lottery games. So in a very crazy way I might feel that would be the night my numbers would hit! LOL Anyway, it really sounds boring to me. I suppose if there was a meeting with officials after the drawing and a dinner, it could be interesting. However, I find nothing exciting about seeing some balls with numbers unless those happen to be my numbers.

Yes. I would go. I might be in disguise, but I would go.

If it's a record jackpot and it's not much out of my way, I actually would go. If I win the jackpot, I can jump up and down say I won! I won! . I'd be the fastest person to come forward in lottery history

I agree, very boring. And it's over in 3 seconds. (As Craig Ferguson would say, Remind you of anyone? ) But I would attend if they had some really good door prizes and I didn't have any other plans.
