The Lottery
#12
RE: The Lottery
One thing that increased my confidence in believeing that the lottery was rigged was something written on the site. The lottery commission promised to have bigger jackpots in the future. Apparently people were losing interest with the low jackpots. How can such a promise be made when you have no control?

I think there's a computer that captures all the combinations played for each draw. They can tell the computer to generate a no win combination so they can snow ball the jackpot. Higher jackpot higher ticket sales. By the time they decide to have a winner, they've made a killing regardless of the jackpot amount.

Why else would there be such government presence involved in the lottery. The license is tendered. There must be a certain proportion of ticket sales that are reinvested in community development initiatives. Why? Casinos don't have to do that. I think there is plenty insentive to rig the system. The mostly circumstantial evidence I have is enough for me to try this out.

Anyway my experiment procedure is this:

8000 years before Jesus, the Egyptian god Horus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life."
