Minnesota Lottery confirms technical communications error delayed $2 billion Powerball drawingReply
A better process (a bullet proof network) can be designed. It's a network so full of redundant equipment that when one box in the network fails, it's automatically failed over (switched over) to it's back up box. (Which costs a lot of $$ for it to sit there doing nothing while waiting for the primary box to fail) A network like that is so expensive that the cost of it makes it prohibitive to all but the Federal Government. For instance the fleet of Space Shuttles were chock full of redundant

The Idiot Tax
I've heard the lottery called the idiot tax, because it's when we give government our money and get nothing (services, etc) in return. But the BIGGEST idiot tax has to be when you play the Power Ball and there is 1 Billion at stake, and at the end of the 30 years you get only 2/3 of that.
