I don't think the draws are a scam.  you just have a minute chance in winning.  1 in nearly 14,000,000 for Lotto 6/49 according to this page.

One old guy at work won almost 2 M about 10 years ago.  HE knows many countries,bought a big house, a cadillac, and who knows what else, and he quit his job.  A couple of years later he returned to work, and people says he ended up with nothing, it's all gone.  He looks miserable, and is bitter all the time, and he tries to look smart cause he knows his co-workers think he's a jackarss.

that has nothing to do with ur question.....this one is about the system they have to verify who has actually won.

u should read the original article.

Who here has ever won the lottery?...Maybe the wrong question to ask since most of us wouldn't be on Foro if we won the lotter
Who here knows someone who has won the lottey? An by won I mean jackpot not just $5 or a free ticket

Do you play the lottery often?
Do you think it's a scam?


I personally don't know anyone who has ever won a jackpot. I don't even know anyone who knows anyone that has one the lottery.
I do overall think it's a scam. Most lotteries shut down at 9pm and we don't get the results until 11pm so that leaves 2 hours for a computer to scan all the combinations of play and choose numbers which weren't picked so no one wins. Might sound crazy but I doubt it's impossible.

Still I waste a Tooney every now and then to try and prove my theory wrong
