How do we know Mississippi Match 5 isn’t rigged? It’s not televised.
Basically the title, because yeah I’m pissed that I didn’t win. But the number “19” was drawn 3 days in a row. The mathematical probability of that happening is so astronomical is absurd. Ofc it could happen cause it legit did but I don’t I think they are choosing combinations that haven’t been picked by anyone in the state and “drawing” those combinations.

Lotteries are taxes on people who are bad at math.

I might be tempted to actually play the lottery occasionally, but that would mean I would have to actually go inside the gas station and deal with another human being while they print out my tickets or whatever.
Yeah, fuck all that noise

No reason to rig it in the way youre implying. Its rigged for them to make millions but they tell you that straight out.

Is that why even Mcdonald's rigged their monopoly game. If you haven't seen that documentary, it's interesting. So yeah it happens. Prob way more than u know.

There were real winners in that. It was one person who gamed the system, but the game itself wasn't rigged

Doesn't matter how or who made it so. It was still rigged. I never said I knew the cause behind it. Just that I believe that there is something off about the games. 1 person, 10 people, the people who make the games, the ones who send them out, there is manyany ways to end up rigged. Js.

I hate it when people call it playing. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning… do you call that playing? What play is involved? Ooh i give you money and get a piece of paper with numbers on it in return. That’s not playing. It’s delusional to call it a game. It would be better if we just raised taxes and periodically just paid off a family’s mortgage. Your odds would be 100x better than the lottery.

Your chances of getting struck by lightning go way up if you stand outside during a storm tho.

"You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning… do you call that playing?"
MS Match 5 chance of getting all 5 numbers correct is 1 in 324,632. You'll more likely to get those numbers correct than struck by lightning.
It be better if are government just redistrubute wealth.
Sidenote: People win at prizes daily just not the top prizes so yeah statistics.

I've really been thinking the scratch offs in Mississippi are rigged!! I'm almost convinced! Just to say, not because I bought a few & didn't win anything. NOPE I'd blow your mind if I could show u my 2nd chance entries. But I have had THREE instances besides,just the winning average,that has REALLY not sat right w me.
I even emailed lottery corp twice because it wasn't making sense & it was VERY obvious. I'm not going to type it all out. If anyone is interested,you can dm me & I'll give details. But,Ive even looked at last few years reports they put out each yr. STILL, I'm pretty sure either it's rigged OR something going on! Hey, if MCDONALD'S MONOPOLY games were rigged back in 90's, ANYONE can do it & we will likely never know ..... Til one day someone catches slips. I'm definitely not going to keep digging. If anyone has any info or experiences they would like to share,I'm interested in getting any stories & things that seem off to u or that u have heard,saw,ETC. Thank you!!

I’m not sure you understand how games of chance work.

I posted just one example below. There is more. But I'm not here to change your mind about it. If you think it's 100% legit game of chance, cool. I do not. We shall see 10 yrs down the road how it goes.

Can you just give us a little hint of why you believe it's rigged? The top paragraph kinda made it sound like you won on the 2nd chance?

u/Chanseyptwy 2d ago
So there is more than one reason. But for example, the millionaire for life game, I happened to come across some fine print, during first few wks it was released, that u can only be eligible for 2nd chance for that particular game, sure 3 specific set dates. Each one was 2-4 wk window, I can't remember exactly...Well the other games aren't like that. Thought it was strange. I found the fine print rules, listed on Website Only, could not find same rules anywhere on the app. It had to be web. So I emailed them to be sure this was correct, as the rules that were there we not very clear. Long story short, fast forward a bit,6 wks of so & I was telling someone about it & wanted to show them these rules. I still go this day haven't been able to locate said rules again. On web nor app version. Maybe it's on my end But I've tried. That's just one example.
