When lottery became privately controlled; they also changed the draw machines to these over technical machines which lift balls up from underneath the machine.
The camera recording the draw only shows the video feed from a lower angle of the machine to prevent viewers from seeing the balls being lifted up from under the machine.
And why are the video feeds "CUT", there should only be one continuous feed of draw video?
Also note that the Powerball game videos only show the Powerball machines in static position at the start of the video while the presenter is talking, then the video feed is cut and goes to the Powerball machine spinning with all the numbers blurred, then the video is once again cut, and the other Powerball machine is shown already spinning.
This makes it possible to allow a ball to drop down out of the machine and to lift a chosen winning ball from under the machine to fake a draw.
Do The Lott use a computer algorithm at the end of each business day; to decide which numbers will produce the highest profits for "The Lott"?
Are those numbered balls then placed under the machine and lifted to fake a lottery draw?
If you look at the draws you will notice you "CAN'T" see the numbers on the balls when in play, it is impossible.
And the online draw videos do not allow a viewer to zoom in.
The draw videos never show any authorised people, The Lott just make a claim that there is a Government authority present in the draw room.
Now since I am able to pick out these real faults with the lottery system; there should be an inquiry into the use of these "LIFTING" ball machines to give clarity to why these machines are used when a simple clear drum could be used with all the balls in play being totally visible.
Do you really think the Australian Government would allow any one person to become wealthy enough to run their own election campaign with a $100M win, I don't think so. Remembering The Lott make claim that there are over 260 new millionaires made each year.
Why does the Network 7 news promote lottery draws and direct and advise viewers to purchase a lottery ticket for the jackpot draws, and why is it possible for Network 7 to disclose the location of the winner and the winner's age and gender, it makes no sense that the 7 Network have such privilege if player anonymity is a safety concern, and why are network 7 allowed to endanger the general public with their announcements?
Keep in mind that network 7 national news even had a segment where they showed people cleaning the draw machines and moving them from a studio storeroom broom closet into the draw room before every draw.
Notice how The Lott claim there are 133.5 million winners. But realistically you aren't winning lottery if you pay more for your ticket than you get returned, this would be a loss and not a win.
Are The Lott using these figures to deceive the public?

What's the point of running a $200,000 Set for Life Promotion if NO ONE wins it throughout the promotion period. It just feels like a case or instance of false advertising.

the $2 Lucky Lotteries, the odds are supposed to be 1 in 23. Well, I've purchased over 240 numbers in a single draw and only won 2 free tickets. The Lott capped these tickets so people can only purchase 10 numbers at a time to make the odds more fair for players. It hasn't worked, the same people keep winning the major $100,000 prize. Something is off with this game.

I think it is about time, that there is a minimum amount paid for wins. Instead of paying millions of dollars on first prizes share more for the lower ones. I paid $15.15 for Saturday's lotto and received a $7.90 payout. Lotto seems to have excuses for raising the costs, but the winnings are getting lower. I use to play Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I, now play, Saturdays and maybe a Powerball, but I'm thinking, maybe none at all.

We all out here buying lies printed on tickets year after year so when you burn the cash always remember to flush the toilet right after. Pray you escape the monotony of everyday life to be able to read my comment laughing. 🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻 😂 #blesstrump

I received an email from these intrusive SHONKS advising they have temporarily suspended my account as they felt (made a decision on my behalf) that my recent ticket purchases raised red flags and they were concerned about my welfare. I rarely used The Lott and usually only purchase tickets when there is a massive prize on offer. The email I received I found offensive and so personally intrusive that I have requested they permanently close my account. Absolutely disgraceful actions on their behalf on controlling how I spend my money under the guise of caring for my welfare. An absolute crock of B/S. Creating a problem that didn’t exist so typical of our dysfunctional government. Do yourself a favour and find an alternative should you want to play lotteries online in privacy. Complete breach of my privacy and personal affairs. Shameful Grubs

Garbage Website and App. "Reset your password to lift your lock out" except that doesn't work. Always down when you want to login. Just go for a walk to the News Agent. These guys aren't spending their revenue on better development or servers.

Due to my profession, I don't allow location services to be active on my devices. It was disappointing to discover that users cannot functionally use the app without active location services. So I'll continue to log in online through the website instead or purchase tickets instore. I've been a players club member for decades and I fail see any benefits today in being a registered player. For those who never win, that is the majority of player's club members, they never get a phone call. There is no other perks or bonus to being a registered player. Also, what is up with all the multiple lucky lottery winners? Last year a few people won multiple prizes of $100,000 there does appear to be some bias in that system. One can understand the odd lucky person winning two prizes years apart but one person won it 3 times in the past few years and others won it weeks and months apart. The Lucky Lotteries game system is electronically selected so there must be some unknown bias occurring within its algorithms to have that occur so frequently. As for Oz Lotto, the additional numbers were meant to generate higher prize pools but that doesn't appear to have happened much either since the change came into effect. I think instead of the App The Lott really needs to focus on better training for instore retail merchant staff. The number of sellers who don't know how to use their Lott machines in NSW is high. As a customer, I often have to talk retailers through the process of how to use the computer to manually select tickets and I've never sold lotto tickets before myself. That is poor front line quality of service.

Been buying the tickets for over 10 years by the counters or on the app and never win! They choose their own winner through people who work in Lott company! It a conspiracy!
ps. Sure you will pass it on… that all you answer to everyone…

I never take ongoing Lotto tickets but a week ago my account was debited $17+ over the past 4 weeks in the Saturday draw.I have never taken an ongoing ticket.
I reported this over a week ago but there has been no response. I reported this as advised a week ago.
I'm an older person and IMO I may have been entrapped into this by The Lott's site. Perhaps the Lott should make it clear if a person inadvertently hits this "ongoing" button with an alert that the ticket is ongoing and not a "one off". I have only buy "one off" tickets over the past 10 years.

The Lott is a scam! It doesn’t choose winners for its big prizes from the general population. The most you will ever win is the lowest prizes of up to $500 maximum! Don’t let your parents or grandparents be fooled and waste their money on this rubbish scam! It selects winners from family members and relatives of those working in the lottery office. An audit needs to be conducted of past winners!

After waiting for my account to be verified by sending a photo of my energy account I am still waiting and cannot get through on the phone number provided 131868! This morning wait time was 70mins. Ridiculous!
I won’t be using this service again! By the way I I cannot withdraw the money owed to me because of this.

After winning a small sum, they asked me to verify my ID. I submitted a NSW driver's license. After two months, I am still unable to access my winnings or account. I tried calling them several times, but after wait times of 20+ minutes, I was unable to speak with anyone. It looks like a scam to steal their customer's money.
