Drawing Methods
Originally, Pick 3 and Cash 5 were drawn using traditional drawing machines and numbered balls (in fact, the Lottery purchased these items from Missouri after the latter changed how its in-house drawings were conducted.) When Oklahoma joined Hot Lotto in 2008, that game had already switched to a random number generator (RNG). On September 20, 2009, Oklahoma changed its two in-house games to RNG drawings; it is not known what has become of Missouri's former equipment. Mega Millions (usually drawn in Georgia) and Powerball (Universal Orlando Resort in Florida) have always used traditional lottery machines and numbered balls, although both games' multipliers (see below) are drawn by RNG.

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or methods:
“He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A writer who writes, “I am alone” ... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
