What is the on-line drawing process?
The digital drawing system is in a secure room, locked and sealed with a steel crimp. A delicate, paper tamper-proof seal with a control number is placed over the steel crimp. Two Lottery employees (the drawing manager and the auditor list representative) report to the computer room at least 1 1/2 hours prior to the official drawing. Only Lottery officials are allowed access into the room where the drawing equipment is maintained. The drawing officials randomly select the number of pre-drawing tests to be conducted that evening. They usually conduct one to four pre-drawing tests according to policy compliance. At approximately 9:30 p.m., Arizona Lottery Information Technology staff alerts the drawing manager to proceed with the drawing. After the drawing, the digital drawing system is locked and sealed, and all drawing equipment is secured. A drawing record is completed after each drawing that includes the names of staff who are present, the digital drawing system and selection device
