How many times have you spent your imaginary lottery winnings in your head, talked about quitting your job and what you would say (or do) to your boss, the cars you would buy and the holidays you would go on?
I read a story a while back about about one country's lottery being investigated (can't remember the details, if anyone does please let us know) so I'm thinking if one countries lottery can be fixed why can't ours?
One scam is meant to run like this: super computers keep track of each combination sold, and then the ping-pong balls are weighted to assure that a losing combination comes up (hello double roll overs). On rare occasions, all possible combinations are sold, and they must let someone win. Only then is the game honest.
I've never met anybody who has won the lottery (proving it's a fix right) or met anyone who has won a substantial amount of money. Have you?
There are a load of conspiracy sites out there and to be honest I can believe it's a fix and I've heard people refer to the lottery as 'the poor man's tax'.
What do the rest of the man dem think. Fixed or not?
