In short, do you all have televised, "real" number draws for your lotteries, or is it done behind closed doors?
When I was a kid, we had a provincial Lottario draw every Thursday I believe, and at the end of a particular show they would set aside a minute and a half and the bouncing balls would drop and we'd all see the numbers. My mom would check her ticket right there as the numbers are drawn live. All legit and live for the country to see.
Now, we do NOT have this. Numbers are chosen randomly by a computer and we just trust that everything is on the "up and up". In a system which abuses and government power is excessive and unaccountable, this is of course, on it's face, a laughable and untrustworthy process.
