This is one subject matter I have kept on the sideline, not really wanting to make a public statement. However, since it is the question most commonly asked, I will submit your response. Please keep in mind, we are talking about truth, facts, and people. My initial reluctance in making a comment rests on the point that many lottery players play because they feel they are supporting the public school system, and that is their only concern. For most other persons, however, they play the lottery hoping to win money. To that last group of people, here is something to be considered. Those little gadgets that are jumping up and down in that transparent container are not selecting the numbers, but are an optical illusion playing tricks on the mind. You see, the highly sophisticated computerized system selects the number that has been programmed by the human mind. During that roughly 25 minutes from the cut-off time to the select time, the system has checked every possible number at least ten times or more. With the present skill, the number can be changed while being selected. You have witnessed these tactics without knowing what was really going on.
Another way to answer your question is, if Las Vegas ran a lottery like the Michigan Lottery, every FBI agent in Washington would be out there closing the place down and putting scores of people behind bars. If you are determined to continue playing the Michigan Lottery or you cannot stop the habit, then be among those people who demand that the select time commence immediately following the cut-off time.
The Daily 3 and 4 Lottery
(I wish to commend whoever you are for your information on this subject. It is encouraging to know that you have placed a concern for your fellow citizens over and above any desire to cover up questionable practices by your associates.)
What must be done for you, the player, to have any chance to win in excess of a dollar bet, you're going to have to either be one of the 'insiders' or a miracle would have to occur. That's because the number '0' is being used to make sure that your winnings are low. Numbers are actually changed while the drawing is in progress to ensure the lowest payout. In other words, in the daily 3 and 4 the winning number is being chosen by insiders.
