Reply #5: Watch the next time there is a big lotto jackpot [View All]

say 100 million people line up all over the country to buy a ticket, they mark their
choices with pencil usually a series of circles and these "ballots" are fed into a scanner,
now when the lotto balls spit out a combination, they are able to sift thru all those
entries and prove that Mr. and Mrs. America in Sioux Falls bought the winning lotto
ticket at the local shop n save. Now there is a lot of shared techolology here.
Marked selections whether ballots or lotto cards which resemble the old ballots a great
deal in shape. These are fed in many places to a scanner, the only difference is
the lotto ticket buyer gets a receipt which he can then eye ball to see if it is correct.
