Balls used in the random selection of lottery tickets are
carefully checked for weight, size, weight distribution, and
uniformity. But no one subjects them to a magnetic field.
It should be possible to apply paint with a slightly higher
metal content, and then use an external magnetic field
to
change the odds. Also possible is a heat response to
radiation
in a certain wavelength that could make the ball somewhat
warmer and therefore slightly stickier.

This is called cheating. tsk, tsk |

Also, I expect they look extremely closely if anyone
who has access to the draw (or their family and
friends) wins. |

hmmm, or some of the balls could be porous and humidity would cause them to gain weight after they had been inspected... |

You don't need to have a family member or friend win, you just need to find a random willing participant to split the prize. Just send out some email to random addersses until you find someone who wants to get rich. I hear thre are lots of them. |

Heck, I bet you could get someone to participate even if you can't get the magnetic paint to work. |
