Lotteries after COVID-19
The lottery organizers also faced the consequences of the pandemic. However online draws in some months even recorded an increase in new users, the rest faced various kinds of problems ⛔️
🎱 This is especially in the case of those venues where the draws took place in a live format using numbers and balls.
The use of computer programs, usually a random number generator, should have solved this problem. Today, 31 US state lotteries use some form of random number generator in their drawings.
💬 Kentucky Lottery Vice President Chip Paulston:
“Given the current COVID-19 situation, we are committed to maximizing the safety of our employees. Instead of spending about an hour on an afternoon draw and nearly two hours on an evening draw using the old ball-and-machine method, we can now perform this vital function in minutes".
But difficulties also can be encountered here. They deal with errors and direct falsifications.
For example, a lottery in Arizona was forced to stop working due to repeating the same winning numbers ❌
Perhaps blockchain will solve this problem .. What do you think about it?
