Q: What is an Automated Draw Machine?
A: An Automated Draw Machine is a computer that isn’t connected to any other system. In fact, any type of tampering is impossible because the hard drive can’t be opened without breaking a numbered security seal and the programs that generate random numbers can’t be altered.
The Lottery has 2 Automated Draw Machines for daily draws, plus a back-up machine in case there’s an emergency. A randomized, unpredictable draw chooses which machine, and which randomized drawing method (mathematical algorithm or Random Number Generator) will be used. The numbers selected from either method are unpredictable and selected in an unbiased manner.
