We now know that they do 4 tests before and 4 tests after each drawing. That's 8 test drawings between each official drawing.

Now here's something to think about. Let's say you have a number that hasn't hit in 15 to 20, or more more official drawings. You mean to tell me that that particular number, just happens to randomly skip every 9th drawing all those drawings in a row? Even if it gets hotter than Hades during the tests, it still just randomly misses out on the official drawing all thos... [ More ]

Thank you i know they calibrate their own balls or they used to they had a video of it and they have lots of ball sets.

Bad part is they have the final word. I think they are also the gaming commission for the state.

So any real problem we have to call the attorney general. At the governors office.

I don't know if they do pre-tests on the RNG drawings else where or not. Maybe someone else does. Sounds like someone was giving you a run around months ago. Or else they just didn't know what they were talking about.

I play WI supercash. Months ago I sent them an email asking if I could see the pre-test numbers for each game. They replied that I'd have to submit a FOI request for that and that it would take weeks. However, weeks later , another poster on that forum called the WI lottery and asked if they conducted pre-draws on the RNG drawings... They said no they don't. I don't trust those liars anymore.

Well I just called them. I said I was just on their website looking at the winning numbers for the last few days and noticed they had drawing videos for 7/28, 7/29, and 7/31, but not for the evening drawings for 7/30. What happened to it?

Lady said I'll pull it for for you. Then she said her computer was having an issue with it. Then she said she would call over to public affairs and put me on hold. She came back and said she would connect me to the drawing manager. He came on and I asked him... [ More ]

Would you believe the Maryland lottery removed the July 30th drawing videos from their website? We should all send emails and call up and ask what happened to the video. But I think the chances of us getting a straight answer will be about the same as.... Well, winning the lottery.

I think not.

What do we now know? We know that they do Test draws. We know that the sign is supposed to be removed before we are given an official draw.

But is there really an official draw at all? We know the lottery runs several test draws, and then we ASSUME they run an additional draw which becomes the official draw. But what if they don't.

It seems to me they just run and record several test draws, and then pick the one that has the fewest winners, or just pick one randomly, and t... [ More ]

Since the Maryland Lottery published the drawn numbers on their website, I'd say it's official. The sign is obviously human error. Not confidence-inspiring, but I don't think there's much anyone can do about it.

The BIG question is. Is it an official drawing or not

Just watched the Maryland live drawing for Pick 3 Pick 4. They do the Pick 3 first, it was normal, then when they went to the Pick 4 there was small sign hanging on the first ball chamber saying TEST . They completed the drawing and seemed to not notice it. Not sure what this means. Do they have to re-do the Pick 4 drawing - they pulled 7837.
