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 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6057237 Canada 12/18/2015 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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? Nyuk...Nyuk...Nyuk... Tell me another one? ? |

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. Why do pussies leave red karma when they disagree with you? Pathetic. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 71036530 United States 12/18/2015 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17134769 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. [link to www.chicagotribune.com] It's CIA. Same story all over the world. Personal ATM of super adventure club. 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. :dog1: |
