Hoss Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 On the "scandal" - he didn't press it twice. You hold the button down on those machines and it pulls a ball up. I wish there was juice to this one, but if you've ever watched the lottery you see multiple balls come up all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just out of curiosity, has TB made any public comments about the lottery? (IIRC he was the Sabres' rep in the room.) Would be interested to see if he had any comment about the 11 being a bit premature. But they didn't draw 11? When the 1st number (5) came up, it was followed in short order by 11.

It was dumped back in? Who decided to do that instead of calling it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 OK, but it wasn't removed and called. It was dumped back in? Who decided to do that instead of calling it? What exactly do you mean? Instead of calling it and redoing it or instead of calling 11 out as the third number? If you mean redoing it -- well there weren't any actual mistakes made. That's part of the machine's function. If you mean instead of calling 11 as the third number -- for obvious reasons. They pick balls at ten second intervals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pick balls at ten second intervals. I'm just asking why 11 wasn't taken out of the machine and called as the second number. Did it go back into the hopper automatically when the first ball was taken out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 I think that's how it works. So two balls get drawn up each time, and one goes back into the hopper. Got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) So two balls get drawn up each time, and one goes back into the hopper. Got it. No. The button is pressed and suction begins. Normally one ball comes up but sometimes more than one will come up. The first one that comes up is taken out and the suction is released allowing the other to fall back in. No matter what happened last night SOMETHING was going to be taken and made into a conspiracy. I find the lottery extremely entertaining, but they should just get rid of it.

It's just a suction tube. Yolanda never paid no mind to that second ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I honestly think AZ is going to win the drawing. In the past 20 years the last place team has only won the lottery 5 times. I'm hopeful but being realistic. So, when the lottery odds were 25% for the last place team (all 20 years until this year, I assume), the last place team won 5 of 20 times? Interesting! :) It won't always draw two but it can. It's just a suction tube. Yolanda never paid no mind to that second ball. I think it would depend on the draw, right? If it's the pick-4 or daily number, they used 3-4 machines because numbers could come up more than once (3141, for instance). On this one, the 11 had to go back into the hopper so it wasn't eliminated from the subsequent draws. I guess it would be the same for the big lotto, since numbers could only come up once there too.

There is a lock that only holds the first one in place and the other falls back down. There really is nothing to see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
