Ever wonder why you never won a lottery ticket (maybe it was hacked)



Are you surpised?

Like someone once said
if it isn't open-sourced, and verified unmodified, it cannot be trusted!

From the article:

For several years, Eddie Tipton, the former security director of the US Multi-State Lottery Association, installed software code that allowed him to predict winning numbers on specific days of the year, investigators allege. The random-number generators had been erased, but new forensic evidence has revealed how the hack was apparently done.
