“It’s broken…” City of Las Vegas Town Hall with Fremont Street Performers

“I’m telling you [the lottery system is rigged] because it’s broken— as someone who uses it. You don’t use it. You’re not out there every day. So what I can tell you right now— factually. No opinions based on it. Is it does not work. Because the other day, they made me sign up a new registration after I had just registered the day before. And said hey, you’re registration is expired. The next day when I went out there to do it, they told me I didn’t have one. So then what, I had to sign up [again]; but it’s illegal to have multiple registrations but I have to because every time log back in, it tells me I’m expired. I know people are going out there with three or four numbers unintentionally because every single time the security guards come by. So don’t argue with me about something I use every day.” – 1MRed, bucket drummer
