Wow, this is stupid. Thank You very much for putting up this video. I really hope people who play watch this video to watch out for stupid scammers who will try and call random players. Good luck to all those who play and I hope none of you ever get scammed.

I've thought of this for a while now. California has one of the biggest populations of all the States and they only increase the jackpot 1 million each draw, when other states increase by a lot more! Recently their main office building in downtown Sacramento has seen TREMENDOUS upgrades from their old building which was pretty small. I want to know where the money is going and how much they sell in tickets!!!

It was like when the professor fell for that prank call by a group of criminals.

...but I still play because I have faith that I might win.

no smart people can not get roped into this.

@toddmastria1 11 лет назад

@qwyzl its sad yes, but under any circumstances, even the ones you mentioned, thinking you`ve won a lottery you didn`t even play, and then slowly draining your bank account to a stranger on the phone for any reason whatsoever does not fall into the category of "smart". Isn`t constantly paying a stranger money a red flag? Say between the first $100K and the second $100K? Even a dolt would think, "Hey! Maybe I shouldn`t be doing this?"

Where can we complain please acknowledge me!! I just met their call,few minutes back.

Machine must be ready, before the draw ends. You can have your 15 minutes to gather all the ticket data, but the machine is ready, 15 min before draw sales end, and draw is exactly 15 min after sales end. I think they have a scanner in the machine, like at Home Depot, with an invisible bar code on each ball, there is something going on, Where can I see the total mega tickets sold for each draw? Super Lotto as well? I want to see the whole account, every dollar.

People tell you over & over these are scams, yet people still fall for them. Simply rule: Never never never ever send them money. If they ask, it's 100% scam period!!!

@lowpricedpaint 12 лет назад

The California Lottery is not very transparent, with their behind the scenes activities. I want citizens involved in the draws, with weighing the balls, checking for magnetism, and other types of tampering. Then watching the balls being loaded one at a time, after each is weighed in, then weighed after the draw as well. We need to see the draw, live and in real time. Wireless signal interupters in the room, no computerizing the machines, at all, only mechanical.

Is there a record of accounts for us all to see, updated weekly on line? I want to know whats spent on ads, production, distribution, everything. Then I want too see all incoming $ and ticket sale info. Which schools got $, and how much. Winnings paid out, everything should be in a report, for us all to see, updated weekly. Hire one person to crunch the numbers, and report them to us, that simple. It's our money, I'm sorry, but I don't trust, unless I can see for myself. it's alot of money.
