FBI: Jackpot-fixing investigation expands to more state lotteries
The allegations read like a movie plot: a lottery industry insider installs an undetectable software program in the computers that pick winning numbers so he can know them in advance. He enlists accomplices to play those numbers and collect the jackpots. And they enrich themselves for years until a misstep unravels their high-tech scheme.

Eddie Tipton, former security director of the Multi-State Lottery Association, has been accused of tampering with drawings in four states over a six-year period, and investigators are now expanding the inquiry nationwide to determine if the number could be larger.

State lotteries in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma have confirmed they paid jackpots worth $8 million to Tipton associates, including his old college roommate, Robert Rhodes. Investigators are looking at payouts in the other 37 states and U.S. territories that used random-number generators from the Iowa-based association, which administers games and distributes prizes for the lottery consortium.

Disgusting
"Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow".  ~Aesop


"Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self. Some fix, that.
We only have ourselves to go on, and it’s enough…" -Charles Bukowski



"Grasping at things can only yield one of two results:
Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear.
It is only a matter of which occurs first."
-Goenka

So it no longer balls dropping it's computer software RNGs. Just like online poker which is also a joke.

The whole computer infiltration continues and like the stock market HFT no knows or realizes how it all really works.

Probably "jewish" in a sense that he has same sex college "roommate" for whom he throws millions of dollars. What else do they share besides bed and bodily fluids? Do you think religion matters when consenting adults are doing pervert things in bed?

Random Number generators, even when intended to be random, never are. That's something the computer world has known for a long time.

Track outputs long enough and they become predictable. A number of years ago two men cracked a Keno system in an Atlantic City hotel. They tracked the numbers for a week straight until they were confident to predict the next outcome. They picked 8 numbers and got all 8 right for a payoff of 8 or 10 grand. It was the first time in the history of Atlantic City anybody ever hit 8 out of 8.

They got caught when the hotel sent the manager to deliver the money to their room. He barged in when they opened the door and found their computer setup. They were both arrested.

No such thing as "undetectable software"?

Truth is, the diseased Maggots who run the show are too lazy to examine the details.

Like the previous poster said, computers are inherently sequential, serial, number machines.

It is virtually impossible to generate true random numbers from a computer?

Yet these fools, or "insiders" decided it was "O.K." to do so?

Re: FBI: Jackpot-fixing investigation expands to more state lotteries
Of course it's fixed, just think about how much money these lotteries are raking in... I've never met a soul who knew of someone who has met a big lotto winner. Could there be a chance that these supposed winners are just fakes, in order to sell you hope, and rake in countless money for the scammers...I wouldn't doubt it.

It use to be hard work and loyalty was rewarded, but truth is it never was.

Sounds like a huge class action suit waiting to happen to me. And of course, the normal settlement in millions of dollars will primarily benefit the attorneys and each person who files a claim indicating that they played the lottery in the affected states will receive a whole $3.01
+ - as their portion.
