MM Auditing Firms
Mega Millions seems to be audited by either KPMG or Singleton Jordan. Does it matter which one audits the drawing for a particular day?

Auditor rejects GOP plea to examine lotteryReply
Auditor Joe DeNucci says the lottery already gets reviewed by accounting firm KPMG and that he may conduct an audit of the lottery next year. Yeah and Enron was reviewed by Arthur Anderson. DeNucci needs to be De-Hired.

rebecca paul needs to be firedReply
I would say even more important than those things (although going to RNG cannot be topped for ineptitude) is the fact that when the heat started coming on strong, she ordered a $90,000 audit THAT DID NOT INCLUDE WHAT WENT WRONG. That is the coup de gr ce for me. It is utterly ridiculous, and the legislature thought so too. So they were forced to start their own investigation in addition to the $90,000 KPMG audit.

Why does it take so long ...Reply
It may have something to do with the fact that MUSL is a central organization that runs Powerball, and perhaps is easier to reconcile that Mega Millions, which has no central organization running it. (The states jointly operate Mega Millions.)Pre- and Post-Drawings are real drawings that take place before and after the official drawing, to ensure that the machines are properly drawing the numbers randomly. Some states report the numbers drawn during these tests on their web site, but most do

Tenn. players picked up on new odds before lottery revealed glitchNews Story
Updated! Includes illustrative charts below. Somebody knew. Or somebody caught on. An analysis of 55 million tickets played in the Cash 3 and Cash 4 lottery games shows that in August, more people started playing the numbers most likely to come up. That is the time period when a glitch in a new computerized system of picking numbers prevented duplicating combinations such as 1-1-2 or 3-3-3-3 from being drawn. A Tennessean computer analysis indicates that players either knew or figu

exact same numbers in take five drawing midday and evening What are those odds? it happened yesterdReply
Joe, even though I'm now living in Florida (I'm a transplant from New York) I can tell you it's a thing that players in New York often play the previous draws numbers all the time, and they have been doing it for years. Personally I always thought doing so was as crazy as those that played 1 2 3 4 5. What happened this past Thursday was exactly what will happen if 1 2 3 4 5 is ever drawn. I cant imagine winning a jackpot (which is so very hard to do) and likely will not ever happen again for the

Tenn. Lottery CEO claims sales unhurt by numerous errorsNews Story
Tennessee Lottery chief Rebecca Hargrove said Monday there's no sign that players have lost confidence despite a daily drawings computer glitch. A July switch to computerized drawings had incorrectly prevented repeat numbers in the drawings until a programming error was fixed in August. The error meant that no winning draw included duplicate numerals, so any ticket holder who had bet on a number like 2-2-1 or 7-7-7-7 wasn't going to win. But quarterly sales for Cash 3 tickets sales rose 5
