Either is better than what California currently has.

I was wondering why they changed, so I asked.

Just curious. How come you changed the drawings from having someone push a button on the machine to have the balls pop up, to a touchless system where the balls pop up automatically?

Thanks.

Thank you for contacting us with your question about the new drawings studio and equipment. The new machines are still operated by a drawings official who triggers the machine to release a ball from each chamber. The

because I noticed the same thing and talked ot others that did too. Some of us even watched their eyes and where the person was looking just before they pushed or pulled the lever. Not a huge conspiracy because the longest lags were about a second, but why were the drawers eyes on the mixing balls when they should be looking at the lever

I prefer the automatic method because I've always wondered if the draw person walks out with a caution not to allow a certain number if possible. In the Florida draw the balls tend to hover at the drawing door capture point for a moment or two long enough for a sharp practiced person to see the number and pause a second longer to let an unwanted ball to fall away from the drawing door to be replaced by another.

Well this wasn't good. They just had a machine malfunction on the Eve Pick 4 drawing.

The Pick 3 number was 664. We'll see if that stands.

I wasn't even taking the virus into consideration when I started this poll.

It was a question between having someone manually do the balls or the balls coming up automatically by themselves.

I'll take the second method because the balls are untouched and it opens the door to live streaming the drawing if the cost of live TV drawings becomes a selling point for using an RNG.

Besides I play the number (820) that was drawn in the second one..

The balls do seem to move a bit quicker up the tube with the new way, and it is a different distance on the Pick4 positions. They are no longer equal.

I'm just hoping it's not a cost cutting move, leading to eventual computer draws. That is a

New way with a mask! NC needs to adapt and quit breathing (spitting) on the balls/ machine. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for bringing this up. Good luck all.

Either way is fine, but the new way seems a bit quicker.

Just to clarify a bit.

The original version has a person press the button on the machine to bring up the balls in each position.

The new version the balls pop up automatically, so it's touch-less.

Maryland just changed the way they draw the lottery numbers.

The first video is the original way they did the drawings.

The second video is the new way they do the drawings.

Which would you prefer in your state?
