2. and the odds on that are as great as the odds that GWB actually won
the election.

I didn't see the story, but I wonder if maybe one of them works for the lottery commission? This just seems unbelievable.

3. I saw it and heard it's being investigated
Lottery officials want the ticket buyers to feel confident that the lottery is conducted properly.

It also sounded like some other organization was going to investigate as well but I can't remember who at the moment.

4. I Did Not Hear This
And don't know exactly how the loser drawing works, but it seems they may be putting a boat load of money into the losing tickets in the first place, and therefore have a higher chance of winning the loser drawing.

5. I also suspect
that there are fewer people in the so-called "loser drawing" so the odds are much better.....
