Thread: Is the draft lottery rigged? lol
I get that there's no 100% proof that it's not rigged, but I think there's a lot of evidence to show that it's not. And honestly, no matter who wins the lottery, every year there's going to be people saying it's rigged. Remember that something being random doesn't mean it will have a totally different outcome every time. Vancouver and Detroit don't usually get lucky in the draft lottery, but considering how many teams there are, the odds of 1 or 2 teams repeatedly getting unlucky in the lottery for 7-8 years are not that low. If Vancouver kept getting lucky and New Jersey kept getting unlucky, we'd hear the same argument from so many people saying, "Of course Vancouver wins the lottery again. They always win the lottery, and New Jersey always moves down in the draft lottery ... clearly it's rigged."

In other words, 'random' doesn't necessarily mean a different winner every year.
