I know they rig the algorithm for mega jackpots. The system makes a selection to runup the jackpot to record numbers. Lest say for the next (x) lotteries the system will not pick any chosen numbers but will then pick the winner after this (x) number. This is how I understood it when they were discussing how these mega lotteries happen. But yes I was thinking what if they were just moving the money around for the staes that were in trouble. I know Illinois is desperate for cash. They resort to Iou's sometimes. So now, its definitely possible. Remember the Monopoly McDonald's scandal. McDonald's made hundreds of millions in sales. They didn't care if the contest was rigged. They made bank. It was memory holed real quick.
