Cheaters at Hair Lotto — Page 4

Yes, Allison Case participates in the Hair lotto. I believe Kacie Sheik has done it before, too.

John Moauro drew my name the last time I won HAIR lotto. (I don't remember how I folded my paper, though.)

"And on the subject of rigged, the Drowsy lotto was rigged for me once, and I lost but the boyfriend of the guy drawing won.... interesting....."

It wasn't rigged very well then, was it?

When I saw Hair, Gaelen Gilliland and Justin Patterson of 9 to 5 both won the lotto. My mom thought it was rigged, but it could have just been a coincidence.

A few weeks ago at Hair, both Michael Longoria from Jersey Boys and his mother won. Not that I'm saying that it was rigged but I figured I'd throw that out there.

Nope. Pretty sure we went over to 9 to 5 instead. But I lottoed 5 Hair performances that week, so I really don't remember... The only time I bought tickets were standing room on 7/4, and I believe that incident was 7/3? Correct me if I'm wrong though!

"It was rigged for me, which I know isn't cool".

If it was rigged for you, how did you lose, then?

I don't get all this fuss. It's like the people who wanted more and better seats for Twelfth Night. A lotto is not a right, and you're lucky they offer it. Has any lotto ever been rigged on occasion? Of course. You're making way too big a deal about it though.

I remember awhile back someone videod the WSS guy through the glass doors as "proof" of his cheating. I didn't see anything remotely suspicious about it. They even posted it on youtube. Sometimes you lose the lotto. Quit whining about it.

Also, folding or crumpling your entry is an age-old way of improving your chances. Don't see how that's cheating.

At Hair, the cast members are allowed to pull lottery, but they cannot enter. As far as which cast members pull, I've see Allison Case and John Moauro pull the lotto before, multiple times for each.

I had a very STRONG feeling that the RENT lotto was rigged. I say this because every time I was there it would be this guy running it. he would take your slip and but it into something under the table. I notice every time a pretty girl we show up he would flirt with them a little. Then when it was time for drawing he would take the bucket from under the table (note nobody saw where your slip went it was just put under a table) then he would call names and i swear to you at least half the winners were the really hot girls that he was flirting with. Once I saw a group of 5 beautiful girls who played (one of them knew him) and they all won. I played that lotto at least 5 different times and it would always happen....I'm just saying.

So, according to this thread, every lotto is or was rigged.

I know a cast member of Hair and have never won.
However, when I did the Bee lotto on my birthday, my Mom told the lotto lady it was my birthday, and mine was the first name called!

Maybe that's why I've never won HAIR lotto. I don't know origami.

Also there IS another Allison associated with HAIR winston89, Allison Guinn.

Sometimes it's the trend of the slips being pulled that makes the lotto seem like it's being rigged. Let me explain.

Many years ago, after about 10 tries, I finally won the lotto for Wicked, as did the person who stood directly behind me to put our names and the two people directly in front of me (you know, when you have to stand in line to put your card/paper slip in because that's the only way to have organized chaos?) And none of us knew each other. That was just the nature of how the cards were shuffled that day. They just happened to get pulled in order.

I did have a friend pull my name for Spelling Bee once, but that's another story. The way I see it, if you do it once and a while and only for one friend at a time, it's not as bad, because it will happen but it shouldn't be nearly as bad as 5 people from the same group getting their names called or the same person winning every night. That's a little crazy.
