If everyone in America joined a pool to buy tickets, and split the winnings, everyone would get $2.

Let's be honest here: with this big a take, there's no way a Crew hasn't already assembled to make the heist. I mean, based on all the movies and gta games, 700 mil is Def enough to kill for.

Bill Barber posted:That guy lives around here and we've been getting news updates about it for like the last year. It's awesome because they only caught him because he got greedy and went for the 10+ million jackpot but like every few weeks they keep tying him to various lottery winners around the country. Like next week it'll be "oh by the way, it looks like he rigged 3 100k jackpots in Maryland in 2005 as well". Why are they drawing lottery numbers via computer anyway? Don't the big ones still use ping pong balls? Not that that can't be rigged, but its a hell of a lot tougher.

Many places have gone to RNG using computers starting about a decade ago. This is simply done for cost. Why pay for a camera crew, the announcers, machine mechanics, and other on site employees when you could save a million or more per year by contracting to a computer and security firm. This is great for the owners of the lotteries to make higher profits but holy crap do they not understand computers in general. They literally trust whoever they pay and don't bother auditing the code being used in most cases, which also saves on costs.

Imo the issue with that is there's not really such a thing as a truly random number generator on a computer. It's always based on some algorithm

Wasn't it Everquest that based its RNG partly on the temperature or a randomly chosen area of the world? Sounds like an over-complicated pet project for some coder.

One Billion Dollars (yes I know you're looking at a quarter of that once everyone takes their cut) is such an obscene amount of money. You'd have to spend something like 5k a day from the day you were born to spend it all. No wait, the interest would out-pace it. You couldn't give it away fast enough. Someone make Brewster's Billions and see a man die of a stroke.
