yeah i was thinking there was probably a bit of co-operation between dbrown's people and camelot (or whatever the lottery organisers call themselves now) more people buy lottery tickets for the weekend draws than the mid-week draws. the stunt, er, drew people's attention to the existence of a mid-week draw. rigging the televised draw in the manner which brown alluded to on his show with the weighted balls wouldn't be as illegal and troublesome as he made it out to be. a draw could've been made off-camera like half an hour before the televised draw, which would have decided upon the winning numbers through the usual methods. the televised draw would have simply been for show, substituting 6 weighted balls with numbers corresponding to those drawn earlier. i'm assuming the draw was done on tv, i never saw it. and i only caught the beginning and end of the explanatory show, i was getting tired of dbrown's wank about stamping on mice and whatnot. so please excuse me if i'm overlooking anything obvious or just talking rubbish.
