Illinois Lottery mulling changes to drawingsReply
The NJ Lottery broadcasts its evening drawings live on TV, and all drawings are broadcast live on the Internet. No computerized drawings here. Maybe that's why the games continue to be so popular in the state. I disagree with you about the probability that moving to computerized drawings would not harm sales in Illinois. Computerized drawings are horrendous, and many people (including myself) are far less inclined to play when they are used. Perhaps you are not aware that Indiana switched fro

Thanks for the interesting link. The first thing I found interesting was how profitable the Megaplier is, and it really makes me wonder why all states don't offer it.With regard to the computerized drawings discussion, I found that the Textas Lottery Commission (TLC) Board appears to be hypnotized by computerized lottery drawing people/companies.The testimony of the A M professor was amazing in that he must have spoke for an hour, and said what could be boiled down into one minute. Basically,

Lottery rigger Eddie Tipton released on paroleReply
Looking at the timeline included in the article is a trip down memory lane. It's pretty wild that Lottery Post has been covering this story for 11 years now, starting before any kind of crime was known about, to inklings of something wrong, to conviction and imprisonment, to parole.

Also, the world's biggest lottery scandal, in which a $16 million jackpot was stolen as well as several other multi-million dollar prizes, was accomplished by rigging computerized drawings. Computerized drawings produce more income for the states
