Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
,our points about computerized drawings have been made clear. ball drawings are the only drawings that are 100 percent fair and honest! computerized drawings give the state lottery an unfair advantage and can be manipulated by them to their advantage if they see fit to do so at any time. witnessing a live ball drawing gives all players an equal chance to win...........

Lottery games picking numbers by ComputerReply
There's some sensitivity around this topic, because the states don't do enough to ensure randomness in their drawings. There is a big investigation on-going in Indiana, thanks to a couple of Lottery Post members.Your message appeared to be factual, so it was important to debunk it so that misinformed people would not be misled into thinking that computerized drawings are approprately random. I believe that certain states are going down a dangerous path in their attempt to save a few bucks by g

lottery being taken over by computerized drawsReply
I've said this before and I'll say it again polls like this do more for them than you can possible fathom. They read some of these posts and they don't even have to conduct polls in their states because we do enough of them here on lottery post about computerized drawings. Polls of this nature can be one of their selling points. Unless they see enough information to forget about going computerized then and only then will we get back to ball drawings. Plan and simple hard core lottery pla

Computerized DrawingsReply
Computers do in fact have memory chips, but somehow making the leap to say that all computerized drawings remember the past draws and adjust future numbers because of it does not make sense, and I believe it is completely false. I am against computerized drawings as much as anyone, but I also am not going to tell people that every computerized drawing has some kind of memory of past drawings. That goes against everything I have learned in my research. I do think computerized drawings are p

would MUSL eventually computerize powerball like they did hot lotto?Reply
MUSL's director has made positive statements about computerized drawings in the past. I think he would like to switch to computerized drawings, but I'm not sure if he will get his wish. Changing Powerball to computerized drawings would be devastating, not just for the game, but for the industry. Powerball is a standard-bearer for lottery games, and if Powerball switched, many states would surely convert. It would also create a situation where real drawings would not be available for any

what computerized state is easiestReply
I disagree with this statement, from the perspective that giving in to computerized drawings is the wrong approach. Computerized drawings are bad for lotteries in general, and true fans of the games should continue to fight their implementation. You can bet that the lotteries will be (and HAVE BEEN) hesitant to switch over to computerized drawings, when people are so vocally adamant against them. I can't wait for the day when a state lottery announces that they will be reverting from comp

Well, to address your viewership question, studies have shown that people want the drawings shown on live TV, even if they don't watch them. They want to know they're there, because then they know it's true and fair. That should totally clarify that point.With computerized drawings, not only do you get no live drawing, but even worse, you get a cartoon which mimics a drawing. Why, MathWizard, do you think they mimic a ball machine in the cartoons? Why not just show scrambled numbers coming t

What about those bonuses!?!Reply
Quote: Originally posted by Alicerosalyn on August 30, 2004Fellow lottery players,I've seen a couple of news articles about lottery top officials being given huge bonuses. Hmmmmmmmmmm, wonder why? Aren't these games state government run (Georgia being one of those states)? How in the world can they justify bonuses when they've implemented computerized drawings to save money ? How many other state employees (top officials included) get such large bonuses? bonuses period? Are they getting b
