Dawn Nettles has been watching our back in Texas for a while now when no one else would. I think she would be the best person for the Job. I think she would be a fair person and we wouldn't have to worry about being cheated out of our money.Maybe she could change the lottery back. I welcome her appointment and hope she gets it!! Best wishes for her.
Your present situation is not your final destination!

She can be and do no worse than any of the past lottery directors and Who knows ? Might be maybe much better (?).
I just want them to quit scre---g with the draws-numbers, to me, everything points to fowl play or doctored draws or whatever you want to call that monkey business, I have seen plenty of past draws and I have also seen computer generated random pick 3 numbers and I have seen pick 3 numbers from very many states, things don't look right, they just don't add up to anything good. There should be an independent source or sources of random numbers not controled by anybody in particular that could be used for lotteries.
It is not right for any lotteries any-where to produce their own winning numbers, the numbers would of course be always biased in their favor, "The house always wins".
Somebody some-where should setup sources of lottery winning numbers, that could be used by any lotteries anywhere on the world, it should be a completely neutral source and organization. Any takers ?

You know what that is a great idea. I will start a security company that handles lottery drawings. My company will have no idea of each lotteries sales so therefore noway for the company to "fix" the drawings. And just to please everyone on here I will make sure all drawings are conducted via balls and drums. Charge the lotteries a very small fee so everyone wins. Players and lotteries would not be able to complain at all then. That is a great idea.

You know, I am very very serious about this.
States should not do or handle their own draws, if they do they are bound to be partial only to themselves.
Whoever does handle the draws should not have anything to do with those that will use those draws and winning numbers.
There should be a combined fund to which all the state lotteries would contribute and this money given to those who would provide the numbers to them, or maybe even better, have the federal government pay to those that handle the draws and provide the numbers. Or something like that.

Well, if Ms. Nettles gets appointed to the position, maybe you can pitch her the idea. Perhaps she would be receptive, although you probably shouldn't mention Lottery Post to her, because she e-mailed me that she is no friend of this site.
She basically implied that because I don't publish my personal biography on this site, that she finds me "suspicious", and apparently there is a rumor floating around that I am associated with one or more of the state lotteries.
I tried to e-mail her that no, I am a very independent person, never associated with any of the lotteries, but after I sent that to her, she never replied. Maybe she didn't believe me.

She might be receptive, but the state(s) and those above her would not, a director has only so much authority.
As to you, your site and any rumors about; Well, there will probably always be rumors such as those, so long as things don't get too much out of hand, they should be mostly harmless, it would nolt be your fault if lottery people come here to look around every single day or if they have a feed of all posts and or just prediction posts going straight to them for them to see every day or even several times a day, if they do, nobody can do anything about that.
But just in case, I am no longer predicting numbers, not unless I see that predictions start to come out a lot more often for a lot more people.
Even if there was a connection between you and the state lotteries, it would not make a difference here at the Lottery Post, you don't have to provide them with anything that they by themselves can't already get.
But those rumors might hurt you if you want to start an online lottery site such as "CincoDecimos", that might be a bad translation.
Let us say that people were winning at the other site so much money so often and then they go to your site and then they win no more or very much less than they were winning at the other place, What will they think and what will they do ? Maybe nothing at all, but Who knows ? They might just go back to the other site.
But if they win about the same or more, then they will quit the other place and stay at yours.
You know that people here would prefer to play at a site that you run, but only if they can win at least as much as they do at the other place, but many or some would stay at your site regardless, even if they don't win.
And some people would always play at both, no matter what.
