Texas Lottery cuts 33 jobsNews Story
Officials say overhaul unrelated to controversial lobbying contractIn a shake-up billed as a reorganization, the Texas Lottery Commission eliminated 33 jobs Thursday, saying it will save $296,000 annually in salaries.Though the commission came under fire earlier this year for agreeing to pay a Las Vegas law firm up to $250,000 to draft laws to expand gambling, it said Thursday that the layoffs are in no way connected to that expense.Employees throughout the commission were affected by the cutbac

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
OK hears my take on RNG's. Say you have an RNG system in place. You have a central computer that spits out tickets random and people's choices. The data is stored on the central computer of all the numbers selected that day for pick 3, 4, and 5, drawings. The draw time is approximately 30 minutes after the cut off point. Now you have 30 minutes to doctor the rng to pay out a percentage of the take. The rng generator can receive a code or accept a program that will deselect any given amount of nu

Lottery RIGGING !!Reply
what some also dont realize is that its not one or two people who do the rigging.its a team effort. team they dont split one jackpot as you may imagine. they split all jackpots. and all the money goes all the way around the table, which keeps all the mouths shut and the game continues on. its a large scale effort to satisfy greed. also, when someone would ask me why would they do it, the first answer i come up with is this,...........does one actually believe for one second they are goi

Lottery RIGGING !!Reply
No one is trying to hammer you. I'm stating a fact there are 220,000 plus posts on this site. nearly every lottery related topic has some reference to it. I'm not trying to get you angered. I'm trying to help. I just mentioned Maryland because 666 hit 4 times this year so far. So a lot of people think that maybe somebody is playing tricks on us. Some people mentioned that how do we know it was not a taped drawing done at some other time prior to the drawing. What happened in PA was dumb of cours

I think a player can know with confidence (as opposed to knowing absolutely) by understanding the process. Though not exactly the same, both mechanical and RNG's have similar issues. Most players can feel comfortable knowing that the RNG is designed and built by one company, then torn apart and reviewed by highly skilled independent testing firms and is then evaluated again by the lottery and/or audit firm. All components are examined to ensure that no wireless capability exists.RNG drawing

Pooh! I know that there are some who suggest that RNGS are not as secure, but RNG's are actually much more secure. Mechanical drawing machines have certainly been compromised and it takes a lot less skill to get that done. Our group builds RNG's for lotteries - though we do it at cost and so promoting it to make a profit is truly not an issue here.Our machines are TRUE RNG's, using unpredictable quantum decay to create the seed. The machines are locked up tight with no operator access to the

How to send thoughts. (psychic proof)Reply
KW,There is a wide variety of things that might be considered to fall into the realm of psychic powers. I think that they are not all necessarily applicable to winning the lottery games. Maybe telekinesis might be useful in influencing a lottery draw machine or computer RNG. I've really not done any work with that, but I consider it to have definite possibilities for anyone who might be willing to devote a tremendous amount of effort to such a practice.Personally, I tend to think that something

computerized powerball,distant future?Reply
I wrote to the MUSL about this, and this is what I got back:QUOTEWe are indeed looking at it. It is hardly well know that computerized lotterydrawings compromise integrity. There are different security issues involved,but they certainly can be made secure. Although, we are looking at systems built by others, we built one ourselves, toget some experience in what is involved (it is now being used by a statelottery). We built a system (we call Quantum Vision) that is a TRUE randomnumber gen
