NY Lottery and AnonymityReply
This is from the Illinois lottery's website FAQ page: Can I avoid having my name released if I am a winner? To assure other players that prizes are paid to winners, the Lottery makes public the name, home city and amount won. We will not, however, release the addresses or telephone numbers of winners. Multi-million dollar winners must participate in a one-time news conference, but we'll always respect your wishes of privacy as much as possible. This is from the Missouri lott

Texas Lottery confirms that Quick Picks are not generated by "central computer"Reply

Now, if you are saying that Texas is controlling the outcome, that is the only way I know to do that, because if the drawing in NOT rigged -- it is entirely random -- then ANY CO

Do you make any of these Top Five Lottery Mistakes: 1. You play the same numbers every week? 2. You let the state's computer pick your numbers? 3. You buy your tickets on the day of the lottery drawing? 4. You pick your numbers by using birthdays, ages, dates and so on? 5. You buy just any scratch off ticket? 1. If the same numbers you play happen to be of a combinational type that comes up once in a hundred draws, you might want to consider also playing some combinational
