Actually, VA Lottery broadcasts their drawings to all the VA TV stations free of charge, and your local station could air the drawing if they wanted. VA Lottery no longer pays the stations to air the drawings, that's why the stations stopped airing them. Lobby your local station to start airing it again.

I don't see how watching it on TV could assuage anyone's suspicion that it's a live drawing though. If you don't believe the drawings aired online is live, why would you believe one broadcast... [ More ]

I discovered that 247 has won 11 times in the Virginia Lottery's history. All 11 of these wins were on two days of the week: Wednesday and Thursday.

Since all lotteries will have their anomalies, I am not going to lean one way or the other on the honesty of the Virginia Lottery drawings. However, for a while, 777 was the second least recent winner, going without winning from June 10, 2002 to April 19, 2010. One day, a friend and I played the Pick 3. My friend played 777, and they drew 776.

The Virginia Lottery has drawn 966 nine times in the past 18 months, but 669 has won only five times in the history of the game (about 12,800 drawings

I think everybody gets suspicious at one time or another due to the frustration of losing but I trust the Va Lottery and their real ball drawings. That's just the reality of it, that the overwhelming majority of players are going to lose almost all of the time. It wouldn't work any other way.

What I don't trust is computer generated, fake drawings like Tennessee has. You can catch people manipulating real ball drawings but computers can be programmed to do things and cover their tracks where... [ More ]

Even though we can watch the drawing online, we have no idea when the drawing really took place. We also have no idea if the video has been edited, etc.

I think VA Lottery draws the numbers that pay the least.

For instance, if the payout for 111 is $3 Million then you better believe that we will see a number that pays less.

We get a lot of repeats. It's very disheartening. Seriously, before they took the drawings off TV, it would be months before we would see a repeat. It's called robb... [ More ]

Please don't get me started on Va. I find it strange that only certain people on LP can get a straight hit period and for some reason don't want to tell anyone what the secret is. If I was you SooPretty find a different state to play and trust me, I live in this state and have decided a few days ago to play a different one from all the loses I seem to get day after day.

I find it strange how Va keeps letting the same numbers come out. they took it off tv so no one could see the numbers that were drawn. what do you think? i also think they don't put all the balls in 0-9.
