The Lottery provides other on-line games with more frequent winners of smaller prizes. A. Lotteries are one of the most closely scrutinized agencies in state government and are structured with a comprehensive oversight network of numerous checks and balances. Numerous security measures are included in the drawing procedures to assure their randomness and integrity. A staff that includes a security officer, an event manager and an independent auditor oversees all drawings. The lotteries go to great lengths to ensure the randomness of its drawings and to eliminate any possibility of a breach of security that could jeopardize integrity.
All equipment is stored in a locked area of our drawing studio.
Further, each ball case is secured by a numbered and recorded seal. Each seal is checked and verified every night prior to drawings by the Lottery's security officer, the event manager and the independent auditor. For each game, we have multiple sets of balls. The ball sets to be used are randomly selected prior to each drawing by the independent auditor. The auditor monitors all drawing activities to make absolutely certain that all procedures approved by the Director are followed.
