Not all lotteries are televised and use ping-pong ball machines.

"Hot Lotto drawings were held Wednesday and Saturday at MUSL's headquarters in West Des Moines, Iowa. Normally, the Hot Lotto drawing was immediately following the 9:59 p.m. Central Time Powerball drawing. Unlike Mega Millions or Powerball, the Hot Lotto drawings were not televised; its drawings used a random number generator (RNG), instead of ball-drawing machines.

hehe One thing that I see over and over again is that these folks always seem to blow it by getting greedy...it seems like they could have gotten away with it if they didn't keep at it. On the other hand, maybe there is a group of these folks who never get caught because they don't keep doing it and we never hear about it.

Just another reason not to have online 'blockchain' voting. The insider threat is always there.

Weighted ping pong balls???

My old boss was related to Nick Perry. Nick and his gang got greedy and on top of that couldn't keep a secret. Funny the number that came up was 666. The way they had the balls weighted, it could have been a few combos and they of course played all of those combos. But the number came up as 666.

 

 

What really annoys me is the media response/treatment of the issue which is distinctly sensational rather than informational.

Pyrethrum/Pyrethrins (insecticides) are sodium channel disruptors. If you remember a little biology and the sodium/potassium/calcium roles in neurons, you can figure out that this family of compounds is, by any reasonable definition, a neurotoxin.

So, instead of any information, reminder, warning related to how often "street drugs" are adulterated, the media broadcasts the idea of a "new meth" and then marvels at the bizarre behavior of people who have ingested neurotoxins and are in the process of having their neurons being screwed up and, likely, being killed.

BTW: this kind of abuse was reported years ago (https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/de8b/cca4f3bcb1b6dd4098a750b5c56aaf45e84e.pdf). In fact, it is a safe assumption that any psychoactive compound will be abused by someone, somewhere.

This is Darwinism at its finest -- keeping the gene pool clean.

I've alcoholics/drug addicts in the family. They should be allowed to kill themselves as quickly as possible. Much better for everyone else involved.

“Crystal roach killer.” is one hell of a drug.

A good ambulance chaser will find a way to hold McDonald's responsible. She's just a victim of Big Beef.

It's always possible she was genetically disabled. The result may have been the same regardless of the father. Or where she worked.
