    The Lotto draw isn't live?
    Don't know if this is right but I have been told that the lotto isn't live for the following reason.
    As we all know the last 15 minutes before the draw you can't purchase a ticket, what happens in this 15 minutes is that 5 draws are carried out to make sure the thing isn't rigged, ie. same balls coming out each time.
    That said, would it not also be possible during this time for a computer to work out a combination of balls to throw out for it not to be won ?

    Last time I seen the lotto it was a load of balls swirling around in a sphere, a tube would rise up and select a ball. I don't see how a computer could predict which ball was over that tube at any given moment.

    No winner. If you didn't do a quick pick i doubt you stood a chance with this one.

    I'm sure you could rig balls with weights.

    EDIT: Apparantly it was won after all so this summary is useless. He will still say he is right though :)

    I can give you a summary of what he will say.

    (1) They have chosen to let someone win on Paddy's weekend.

    (2) Obviously this was always their plan since they made the numbers fall between 24 and 36, a very narrow range designed to reduce the chances of someone winning.

    (3) I have called them and put this to them.

    (4) I will be proven right.

    Was there? They had it as none earlier. Yet another quick pick wins again it seems.

    I watching a film will be on later. Now that it’s won I can put my accusation about fraud directly to the Director of the National Lottery.
    However if I had kept my mouth shut and let them have there €17m roll over instead of going through all this later in the year!


    Re the PM “Be careful they don’t send a hit man”!

    No, I just better not make a trip to Russia like one Liam Lawlor and get taken out!

    Regards
    Brian

    Your going to get yourself arrested if you don't stop harassing the National Lottery.

    He has been banned from AH, so cannot answer your question.

    I rather people did not take the piss, as he does not have the ability to reply here.
    Thanks.

    Its funny that Brian said it, cause when I bought my ticket it was only cause the gf said to. I was at the shop counter and when she said it rolled over I said "Its not been won yet?" and the assistant in the shop goes "Of course not, they would hardly have it won when there is a bank holiday coming up"

    Write a computer program to do it for you, or set up some queries in Access or some other database application. I've done both. It doesn't matter how many lines I have, as when the winning numbers are being called out, I type them in and my program counts and highlights them for me. As soon as the last number is drawn, I immediately know if I've won anything or not. I never have to check a ticket, and since I mostly use the same numbers, I don't have to do many adjustments to where they are stored on file.

    Where;s the link to that League of Bastards when you need it?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    He pm'd every single person to post in that thread, asking them to read his post. It's pretty spammy.

    Not if you let the thread die or the lock comes out. /hint
    He was PM spamming. He won't be missed too much.
