Are the lotto draws tricked / fair?
Since months, I have been hearing quite a lot of rumors since the lotto game has been introduced in Mauritius. Most of you might perhaps agree that these lotto draws are the talk of the town, mostly on weekends…. Shops and other lottery outlets are overcrowded with people who are trying to change their fate by trying to choose the correct 6 numbers. The lotto has been such a success that the 20% of the traditional “Lotterie Vert” tickets were unsold for the end of year draw. For years, most of those tickets were finished before Christmas!
In the month of December 2009, people even complained on a private radio and one of them even said that the draw was not really live on TV. In fact, it is broadcast after a few minutes.
Some people say that they don’t trust the 2 guys who are supposed to supervise the draw and ensure that everything is done in a fair way. I even heard other versions, for example; the lotto balls were not of the same size and the smaller ones were the ones which sink to the bottom, thus getting out of the machine. A few days ago, I overheard a few people discussing this topic too… According to them, most of the lucky people are from one community only and this game is turning out to be a lucky one for them 
Let me tell you that I don’t know to how much extent the above is true but I want to know what you think about those ‘lucky’ draws?
Finally, everyone will keep on repeating : “Mauriciens p vine zougadère et pu plaigner meme zotte pena casse!”. It’s more or less what the famous sega says : “Rhum la pas bon, to boire meme!“
Disclamer : I maintain that these are only rumours which I heard. I only mentioned them to share what I heard.

I never played to loto. And I don’t intend to play too.
Moi mo fine jouer loto plus precisement Quick Pick.
Once i played Rs.100 as Quick Pick, but when the draw took place, NO NUMBER that figured on the receipt appeared in the draw. for example, I played number 18, number 17 came out. I played number 5 and got number 4, etc….
The following week, again i played Quick Pick. And still it was the same= No number on my receipt appeared as the lucky draw.
MAYBE I’m unlucky in LOTO…..lolzzzzzz
What I think of this….
well I just find this obscenely sick that some people even went so low thinking that “most of the lucky people are from one community only and this game is turning out to be a lucky one for them “.
Only some retard racist individuals might think that ever single loto ticket being played is somehow tagged to be sure when the draw is run only that “one community” will be the winner.
Quid to those abyssal moronic goons who came up with such an idea how can they keep track of those lucky number being drawn is for sure played by that “one community”?
And you ask yourself, why this country is going FUBAR!
Mauritius its a Pleasure
@Pascal : I share the same point of view as urs. I think its pretty impossible to make turn them into the lucky ones, its only pure coincidence.
Did you hear anything on your side?
I heard the same rumors as you
Mais bon, my dad wins mini lotos of Rs.100 often.
I’m flabbergasted that people find a community link to this, what rubbish. I used to play the very same Lotto in Europe and it is no different here in its presentation and organization. I have played here too and won small amounts. I also heard that there was some controversy about the control of the Lotto in comparison to the Lotterie Vert where issued tickets are strictly controlled by the authorities.
that’s why its better not to gamble :p
All loto players need to revise HSC’s ‘permutations and combination and probability’ chapter in Stats. lol
loto la genuine. bien sure pas tou dimoune capave win.
avec ene bon combo permutation combination. hot numbers and cold numbers ena plus chance win mais tjs est pas facile pu coche les 6 bon mumero.
ca ki trouver loto la triquer ou fause a b pas bizin zuer.
RT: “Rhum la pas bon, to boire meme!“
I’m not a maths freak but according to some statistics, the chance you lose is much greater than the chance you win. I told as much to my parents but like you said: ““Rhum la pas bon, to boire meme!“”
Fair or not, this is rubbish :
“According to them, most of the lucky people are from one community only and this game is turning out to be a lucky one for them “
@Sun : To some extent yeah.
Come on …
Do you guys think it’s tricked ?
Well what i can say, is that i don’t support their marketing/ad everywhere…
It’s working too well…
I don’t trust there must be tricks!!!
It’s not fair assholes!
[...] Do you think the loto draw is fair? [...]
Many of us (if not all) know that the numbers are collected through a network system to one computer, just like credit cards, Stevenhills, etc. And from that point, it can be guessed through a simple algorithm what series of numbers haven’t been played and so on…
I don’t know why it has not been mentioned above but everyone can clearly notice that the wheel doesn’t rotate at constant speed. It will slow down at times. ‘As if somebody remotely slows the wheel down when the ‘correct’ ball is on top of the opening of the tube. And this is how all the balls sink to the bottom, one by one!
Think about that. Next Saturday, look carefully the speed of rotation the wheel.
The lotto machine and many other elements in the show are just a curtain, hiding ‘the real thing’ behind it. Its like many magical tricks on TV where there is an “audience”, a “supervisor” or whatever, some music, some suspense, all these are just distractions. Many magicians will tell how easily the human mind can be tricked!
Of course, its not about magic here but people’s money. So, I better be wrong and they better make it a 100% legit thing.
