Is the lotto rigged? Multiple recent "New record jackpots" seem statistically unlikely to be random chance.

Everyone always seems jaded when it comes to this specific topic, so I'll give my two cents since I'm of the few with a contrary view on it.
The lottery isn't rigged in the way most seem to think. I know two lottery winners IRL. One of them won a moderately large jackpot (and still managed to blow it all on stupid crap) and the other won one of those "win X amount every day/week for the rest of your life" lotteries. He's done a little better, but that's because he basically just retired at 30 since he had a steady income for the rest of his life.
So I know for a fact THERE ARE legitimate lottery winners. I firmly believe most of these large jackpots are actually won by random people, who will more likely than not blow it all and end up bankrupt in a year or two, if that. Because they don't know how to handle money responsibly.
But that's a different topic. The "rigging" isn't the actual jackpot. It's all the "unclaimed" smaller prizes.Did you know that on average, there's something like $150-250 BILLION in unclaimed smaller prizes ($10K-$5 Million)? Supposedly, that all goes to the public school system of whatever state the unclaimed ticket was bought it, but we all know it never does. It get's laundered out to various slush funds for the cabal.
Most people don't understand how the lottery works. Every time a drawing is made, the proceeds from the ticket sales have to be split between payouts for smaller prizes, paying employees, and increasing the jackpot size if it wasn't won.
This is where I believe the actual rigging is coming in to play. The higher the jackpot, the more people will play. The more people that play, the more "unclaimed tickets" can be printed (probably in a similar manner to how election ballots are fraudulently printed into existence). Which means more money can be funneled away from the jackpot increases.
So for example, between saturday and monday, the $1 Billion+ jackpot increased by roughly $200 Million. When numbers get that large, it's entirely likely they probably had roughly $800 Million-$1 Billion in small prize payouts. Assume 30% of that was siphoned into slush funds. That's $300 Million they made in a single night that's virtually untraceable since no one cares about the millions of $10K winning tickets floating around.
If that happens 3 more times (And keep in mind the numbers will progressively increase), then they'll make more money than the jackpot will be worth. And that's not including all the money they've siphoned leading up to the $1 Billion mark.
So yes, the lottery is probably rigged. But not for the jackpot winner. They're preventing anyone from winning for long periods of time, in order to siphon off massive amounts from the smaller prizes (far more than any single jackpot will provide), and once they deem it to be to obvious, they'll finally let some random schmuck win it so that too much attention isn't drawn to it.
As for why we've had so many $1 Billion+ Jackpots lately, well it should be obvious. They're running out of funds, so they're desperate and pushing the envelope with this specific method out of desperation. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say this one will probably be won around the $2.5-$3 Billion mark since each jackpot has been getting progressively higher when it was won.
I think it's much more blatantly rigged than that.. as in.. they print a ticket with the winning numbers after the drawing and give it to their deep state person to turn in and become rich. Maybe a few are legit - but most are totally rigged. I'm only basing this on my experience with the stock market and politics in general - the higher you go, the more corrupt it is. The lotto is basically the highest you can go in terms of gambling prizes - so it would only make sense that those involved are the scummiest most corrupt criminal individuals. I hope I am proven wrong. But, unless there's interest to conduct the lotto on the blockchain - where people can verify what numbers were allocated before the drawing - I will have to believe that the whole system is built as a 'trust us; we're honest' type system. Any system built like that is built like that on purpose.
How can they “print a winning ticket” prior to the televised random drawing? Unless the “televised random drawing” is just some deep state deep fake video bullshit. And let’s assume the televised random drawing is legit and they just print out a winning ticket with the winning numbers after the fact. How can they control the fact that another winning ticket was legitimately purchased before the drawing? What can they say then? “Oops, when we said only one winning ticket was “purchased” we made a mistake and actually two or three winning tickets were purchased”?
There’s been more than one winner many times.. the winnings just get split.
I can think of one or two times in the past 10 years that there was a split jackpot prize. In fact, the first ever $1 Billion Jackpot was a three way split if I'm not mistaken. He's got a point, and poked another hole in your logic.
See, the problem with that is that, is that "the curse of the lottery" exists. Within a year or two, 95% of all lottery jackpot winners go bankrupt, and there's ALWAYS coverage of it. Heck, there's whole TV shows revolving around the stories of people ruining their lives after being stupid with lottery jackpot winnings. And let's not forget that only a handful of states allow for anonymous claiming. Meaning we almost always have a name to search for and see what has happened to them.
There's too much evidence that the overwhelming majority of lottery jackpot winners are legitimate. On the other hand, there's plenty of circumstantial evidence that the hundreds of billions in "unclaimed prizes" are being laundered away into slush funds.
Besides, as I said, I know several lottery winners IRL, so I have personal proof that not every lottery winner is a deep state stooge.
Either way, there's too much evidence that the majority of lottery winners are legitimate to just blatantly claim every single lottery drawing is rigged. To do so, is to ignore all evidence and base your claims solely on emotions. Which we all know ends badly 90% of the time.
We aren't talking about tiny payouts like the people you know. They didn't win the top amount, which is where the rigging or preplanned payouts are likely happening...
Apparently someone didn't read anything beyond the first paragraph of my comment. I laid out why that's more likely than not, NOT the case. And why it's far more likely that they steal a large percentage of the many thousands of smaller prizes that go unclaimed (officially anyway), with every drawing.
And for the record, the "Win X amount for life" guy, did win the top prize. It's why he's now guaranteed a six figure income annually for the rest of his life by the government.
