How does Tennessee pick the daily lotto numbers?

Question

The Vacuum and balls are gone. I hear that they just pick 3.4 or5 numbers at random. I even heard they threw a dart at a board. Is this fair. Is there security at the drawing ? Apparently not.

Answer 1

"stand-alone computers that operate as random number generators. A random number generator consists of highly secure computerized systems that generate numbers in a random manner, with no human involvement. The drawings are videotaped. Once the winning numbers are drawn, they are transferred for broadcast to the viewing public to our partner television stations throughout the state."
