Security

Drawing Security

• Randomly selecting the ball sets and the draw machines to be used that evening.
• Testing the equipment, conducting pretest drawings and rehearsing the draw with the television crew and the draw show host.
• Ensuring that each individual ball is returned into the correct ball set container.
• Sealing each ball set and recording the number, to be verified when that set is randomly selected in the future.
• Maintaining all draw equipment within a secure room with access limited to only the draw officials.

Drawing Documentation

Lottery draw officials document their work for each draw on a drawing master control form. That form details:

• officials and staff present
• equipment used
• pre-test numbers drawn
• official numbers drawn
• post-test numbers drawn
• time that all bets for the drawing were closed

The specific procedures are available for review upon request. Want to be a draw spectator? If you wish to view a draw in person, just send us an email and tell us when you'd like to watch a draw.
