Seems non-trivial given that the database server is likely to be in the same datacenter/rack/physical machine. If you have this much access you might as well plant a backdoor in the server and tamper with the database however you want.

Are lottery winners determined immediately after they close? I thought they did a number picking ceremony by picking out literal number balls from a tumbler?
- bombcar 2y agoThey usually stop sale an hour before the ball-picking, at least around here. I assume that hour is for all the "picks" to be transmitted up to them for record keeping.
- jamesfinlayson 2y agoIn Australia at least the balls are drawn an hour later. No idea about the computer RNG games though.
