All draws for national and regional games occur using Random Number Generator (RNG) software on stand-alone computerized draw machines. RNG software streamlines the draws while maintaining security, reliability, speed and the ability to audit results.
- The RNG system uses a proprietary algorithm to generate random numbers. It is independently tested and certified for both its effectiveness in generating random results and its integrity.
- Before each draw, an integrity check is performed on the system to ensure that no changes have been made that could affect the random outcome of the draw.
- All draws are witnessed by external auditors. Strict controls and security measures are in place for every draw.
Draw machines are located in a secure location that is monitored by video surveillance 24 hours a day.
