woah!

if they used to show the drawings on tv but have now have started to just flash the numbers then i do think there might be a chance the drawings may already in fact be computerized.

very interesting.

I hope they do not , but word is out they're out to privatize to save money . Give me a break. Too many ways to cheat players with computers, by leaving out certain numbers,for example. But as history has shown us, whenever big money is involved, there will be crooks. I tuned in tonight on TV to see if they actually show a drawing, they didnt,only flashed the numbers ( Official drawing Channel), which tells me they may already be doing it and not telling anyone. As far as organizing all the lo... [ More ]

I was told by a store owner that florida lottery is in the biddding stages to be sold off from the state.

I also understand you cannot purchase a 1 year lottery ticket at this time...so that also makes me think that this is true.

Very few attorneys are willing to jeopardize their practices to challenge the state. In Indiana, we shopped our evidence file around to various attorneys for over a year. Three different firms have told us that what we've collected is probably sufficient to convict on at least three federal RICO predicates (Wire Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Misappropriation/ Conversion of Public Funds). None are willing to file our case in court, however, because, the state house can make it ver... [ More ]

I say yes -- Florida will go RNG.

In fact, all lottery drawings will be RNG one day. I wish I was wrong, but this terrible trend will not be stopped.

Yeah, they won't lose that many players. And eventually they will get back some of those they did lose. As long as it's The only game in town , and it saves them money, they will eventually go RNG, as will all states. It's not about the players. It's about the profits.

I feel I have to say it again, I will repeat my opinion in this issue until you all wakeup:

These things happen and will continue happening because we lottery players, enthusiasts, experts, gurus, forum admin and so on are not ORGANIZED. Stop crying and complaining like babies. Grow up. Do something about it. Join me to create the NORTH AMERICAN LOTTERY PLAYERS ASSOCIATION. Then we will have a voice. Then we will have an official channel so the lottery industry will listen to us.

There can be no question that, if this trend is allowed to continue (in other words, if WE allow it to continue), Florida and other states will embrace electronic drawing methods.

Once officials in other states begin to see how much money can simply vanish before the public's eyes, with no consequences or investigations, of course they'll make the switch. Not to do so would make them the laughingstock of their peers. Ethics violations, questionable spending and outright fraud or other crim... [ More ]

I guess you players that say you'd stop if all games went computerized are in the very very very very very small minority ryanm said.....

It's going to happen. Obviously lotteries that go computerized save more money than they lose from players supposedly not playing the games anymore, or else no lottery would be computerized today. I guess you players that say you'd stop if all games went computerized are in the very very very very very small minority.
