The LOTTERY COMMISSION controls the points of sale, the computers, the software.
At the time of the drawing, the LOTTERY COMMISSION thus KNOWS, via the software, EVERY combination of numbers "picked"
The LOTTERY COMMISSION, thus, has PERFECT KNOWLEDGE of EVERY BET MADE, where the bet was made, the time, date amount of wager and anything else worth KNOWING!
THEN, BEST OF ALL, THE SAME LOTTERY COMMISSION DRAWS THE WINNING BALLS!
ALL THE POWER AND KNOWLEDGE RESIDES ON ONE SIDE OF THE WAGER!

Plan B. Promise 95% to MA small businesses. I ALWAYS keep my promises and NEVER break a deal. To me, a deal is 100%, not 20%. If I make a deal or promise, I stick to it no matter what. If I can't stick to it, I don't make it.
Sounds crazy, but this is an idea worth consideration. If I step out of line, whack me.
