We don't really know I suppose. My state used to have live drawings on broadcast t.v. But they moved to online showings.

The website claims, Watch live drawings every night of the week!!!

However I find that more than just a few nights a weeks, nothing.

I guarantee you that there would be public outcry if there was enough evidence to show that the game was, in fact, not random. A little hard for the average citizen to get any information on that as we can't go behind the curtain. I still believe that there are numbers that are known ahead of time that are dispersed in ways beneficial to the lottery and detrimental to the majority of players. Ever buy a bunch of QPs to see a lot of repeated numbers? None of which are drawn or are drawn with numb... [ More ]

I don't see your point as you have just demonstrated that they were unable to keep area 51 a secret. On top of that, people already knew long before it was officially acknowledged as they could directly see it. Which is why it makes sense to talk about how the government denied it since if people didn't know already, there would be nothing to so adamantly deny. If they were being successful in covering it up, there would be nothing in the minds of the people that the government would have to off... [ More ]

I don't have a problem with draws being broadcast live...let them tape them, show them at a later time - within the hour, then

discard them. Have the witness, which, btw when something goes wrong they look like they're not much witness to anything

in their power to control or object to anyway.

I have a real problem with pre-draws. IF the machine malfunctions, let it do it on the first draw. Five or MORE attempts at assuring

the equipment is working properly is insane. I've read some... [ More ]

Because even though they have the upper hand, they are greedy and want more. Why do they only pay 50% of the odds in p-3? Why not pay the true payout the bookies been doing all over the world for like forever which is 90%. They would still make a ton of money at 90% because 95% of the people lose. But that's not good enough for them.

Think about it. They have a list of all the bets made on a computer. They can use a particular draw that has a winner that will match the least to the overall be... [ More ]

So which one do you fall under? Moron or mental illness?

For years the Government denied the existence of Area 51 until the mid 80's when the pressure from the people's outcry for truth became too much for them to deny. They finally admitted the place existed, even though many people were already filming the place from a high mountain 26 miles away from the site long before the admission.

Would you like me to show you a long list of the disingenuous activities conducted by various Governm... [ More ]

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

When we're discussing games with odds like Lotto, MM, or PB, or even Cash 5, they don't need to fix or rig anything. The odds do that for them. Even daily games like Pick 3 and Pick 4. It's pretty hard to hit those games with a straight or boxed on a consistent basis. Or even once in a while.

Now, with RNG states, it's been shown it's possible. But, it's gonna be a lot harder for someone now because lotteries with RNG's really have their guard up.... [ More ]

How do we know for sure that video wasn't one of ten simulated drawings chosen as the best one to fit their agenda?

I've got no idea how (or if) you know any particular thing. Most people who aren't morons or victims of mental illness know that conspiracies that involve dozens or even hundreds or people only happen in movies. In real life conspiracies that involve just a few people usually unravel before very long, even when everybody involved has something to lose when they unravel.... [ More ]

I believe PB is currently drawn in Florida. Florida as a certified LEO standing by along with some other big wig person. They do their machine checks one hour before and If I recall they can have a live audience for the draw at request.

Why would they even need to manipulate anything when simple math and probability does the work for them?

They have literally nothing to gain from cheating the public.

Not sure the significance of numbers being broadcast at 10:00 vs. 10:01. The numbers that were drawn at 10:00 would still shown up when you see the video at 10:01, or 11:59 for that matter. An event is an event, the time that it occurs does not matter because the event has happened and is irreversible.

Not sure if their contention is for the reason you state in your quote above. The concern is whether what they show the public is only the outcome they could have easily manipulated two ho... [ More ]

I recall watching on some videotape on either the NC or SC lottery websites, that both Midday and Evening drawings were drawn at the same time in advance of the actual scheduled Live Drawings ,and videotaped to be aired Live at the appropriate time. Of course, I can't find that videotape on either of the NC or SC websites anymore.

Does this procedure sound familiar or plausible to anyone - Videotaping both drawings in advance, to be aired Live at a later time ??? Can some states actually lega... [ More ]

I think live televised does have a five second delay (check the fcc guidelines).

For my states evening draws are witnessed by citizens. So unless 365 witnesses are lying ... I'm apt to believe the five second delay time still shows the verified drawing.

For the major games: mega and pb, not sure even where they air it from and how the witness's are chosen .

Whos to say that our post are time stamped correctly ? Seriously at some point these suspcions just fuel an unhealthy mindset.... [ More ]

Worrying about whether they are lying about live draws is a waste.

Your state is a RNG state. I would be more worried about that.

GatorShea — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 03:08:25 GMT

Are we all just supposed to assume that they are live just because the lottery organization says they are? I wish they would show something in the lead in that would solidify that these drawings are happening in real time. For all we know they could be recorded live an hour before and then edited and broadcast to us at the designated time.
