Security Measures
Because of the massive payoff for a successful cheat (especially after the 1980 Pennsylvania Lottery scandal where drawing balls were rigged to draw a certain number of results), lottery machines are subject to strict security measures. In some cases there are several machines and several sets of balls, and the combination to be used is selected at random just before the draw.

Famous quotes containing the words security and/or measures:

—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“There are other measures of self-respect for a man, than the number of clean shirts he puts on every day.”
