OK, why dont Powerball lotto just admit its rigged?

[randym431]

Again, another "one ticket" winner. I'm convinced powerball does this because its much more impressive for that one ticket to win all the cash, rather than say 50 people to have winning tickets. The powerball knows each and every number played, and how many times. So their computers pick either no winner, to let the jackpot grow, or search and find one series of numbers only piayed once, and you have the lucky winner.

The point is, its hard enough to pick the winning number series, but add in their control and the odds are more like one several hundreds of billions, to actually win.

I see a pattern here.
If people really knew what was going on, with what is still just organized crime, they'd never play.

The times I've actually cared enough to put a buck in, when powerball/mega-millions/other multi-state lotteries breaks $150million, I see multiple people win on a regular basis.

And it was here in WI. Fon du Lac. Lottery Row. You want to get lucky (lottery wise) you go there. I am too lazy to drive the 40 miles.

Get payed a couple million bucks only to have half of it go right back into the government by way of taxes?
Yup. Its rigged and its legal an thats the way its gonna be.

The people that only play if it crosses 150 million or whatever baffle me. What, is 149 not going to cut it? The whole thing is a scam, you have a better chance of being hit by a golden meteor from space worth the same value.
