The Tennessee Lottery is no longer using numbered ping pong balls to announce winning numbers for game drawings. Instead of the ping pong balls rolling from a clear plastic sphere on television, the Tennessee lottery is using computers to generate random numbers for games.

Lottery officials say some players have complained about the new system. Some Nashville resident players say they don’t trust computerized drawings.

Following is the actual FAQ from official Tennessee web site:

The Tennessee Lottery began holding its drawings using the latest in automated technology, joining numerous lotteries throughout the world that use similar computerization.

Cash 3, Cash 4, Lotto 5 and Hot Trax drawings are conducted at the Tennessee Lottery’s headquarters in Nashville using one of two automated drawing machines. These are stand-alone computers that operate as random number generators. A random number generator consists of highly secure computerized systems that generate numbers in a random manner, with no human involvement. The drawings are videotaped. Once the winning numbers are drawn, they are transferred for broadcast to the viewing public to our partner television stations throughout the state.

I’m hoping that the Tennessee Lottery doesn’t use Microsoft Windows 98. Just kidding.

  26. This is getting a little bit more subjective, but I much favour the Zune Marketplace. The interface is multi-colored, has a lot more pizzazz, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you speedily see related albums, tracks, or other users associated to what you might be playing. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and one more set of “friends” will come into view, permitting you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, tunes, or users. By the way, the Zune “Social” can be fantastic fun, letting you find others with shared likes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which can also be enjoyable. Those worried with privacy will probably be relieved to find out you’ll be able to stop the public from seeing your individual listening routines in the event you so choose.
