Nobody ever actually wins the lottery-- it's never actually awarded. Well, they let one or two through, but definitely any time the winner is "anonymous" it's all kept by the states/gov.
While it's feasible, I told him I'd think someone would have tracked it by now.
He insisted there were websites that audited the agencies and had plenty of proof.
I never followed up.

I would have trouble believing that, because the state/government keeping it would be difficult to keep a secret since surplus revenue is a gold mine for lawmaker attention. I'm open to it being rigged in general though, various forms of the lottery clearly have been in the past. Organized crime likely has their hands all over some lottery systems throughout the world, big and small.

Same. The lotto is a crazy fucking shit show & a mega grift & a “poor/ignorant tax”. What more needs be said? It’s beyond nuts.

There’s a file of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field all in one and you can download it and then zoom in and zoom out to go further and further and see a whole lot more in depth, it’s incredible. Some of the things captured in the photo no longer exist in the same form as when they were taken.Ie can’t be found if you could somehow visit it in space time today... just gone like magic ( you know what I mean).
Wonderful!

I bet Simulation Theorist believe its a complex computer program video screen or something. My co-worker friend is a Simulation Theory believer. I think its a bit silly but may have a grain of Truth.

News like this makes me think the lottery isn't rigged:
https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/lotto-winners/
It can be, there was a story about a computer engineer made it so that specific numbers won on certain dates, but he was eventually caught and the rigging undone.

I see logic defeats you with ease. Perhaps it is all the foul(fowl) meat going to your head and causing a delerium.

Quote:
n 2011, Harper’s wrote about “The Luckiest Woman on Earth,” Joan Ginther, who has won multimillion-dollar jackpots in the Texas lottery four times. Her professional background as a PhD statistician raised suspicions that Ginther had discovered an anomaly in Texas’ system.
I had read about this woman before. She got away with it as far as I know. She didn't rig anything per se (other than getting one store owner to only sell tickets to her when she was expecting a winning ticket to be there.) More or less the idea was that she had worked out what they were using as a pseudorandom number generator and knew what numbers were coming up.

Boneless wings aren't wings at all. That can't ge argued. The only way a "boneless" wing could qualify is if they used only meat from the wings to produce their product.

Yeah! I heard about that woman too! It's pretty cool since she's abusing a flaw that the lotto has, not altering anything on her end!
This is the guy I meant:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Lotto_fraud_scandal
Quote:
Eddie Tipton and his brother Tommy Boyd Tipton were subsequently accused of rigging other lottery drawings, dating back as far as 2005.[10][11] Based on forensic examination of the random number generator that had been used in a 2007 Wisconsin lottery incident, investigators discovered that Eddie Tipton programmed a lottery random number generator to produce special results if the lottery numbers were drawn on certain days of the year.[11][12][13]

Did not read in detail about the other guy yet but I found that paragraph about the other woman skimming the article you posted. Used to have a copy of that Harper's issue about her that someone gave me.

So I just remembered this ridiculous conspiracy theory that there used to be giant forests on the earth. Now this video is really long to get to the point, but go to around the 31:00 mark. So this person is talking about those volcanic mountains or whatever actually being massive tree stumps.
Can someone top this bullshit?
