Winner
Wink: A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory.
Winner = We-Insist-No-Numbers-Ever-Right
First it was reported the jackpots were less than the advertised amounts. That points a finger.
Today it is reported that Lottery dealers have been winning all too often. But they can't find any wrong doing. That points a finger.
What is your chance of winning the six before nine? How many billion to one? Better add another couple billion to that figure.
I always had suspicions too, although I have no way of looking at what needs to be looked at. For example, if the numbers are selected at random, how come the ratio of winners to a certain area always seem to balance out over time? Or in the case of scratch type tickets, if you are a winner and take your ticket in, they scan the bar code to verify it.
If I was a seller (polite term for dealer), what if I scanned the barcode in advance? Not with their machine of course, but computer software is readily available to scan barcodes and tell you what a product is. Couldn't those programs be touched up a little?
Those tickets appear to come in neat little bundles. Do the serial numbers mean anything? They must, or they wouldn't put them on.
So many questions that could go on and on, so few winners. . .
