I don't know how they would get hacked, and I don't know that they haven't, but this last Powerball and monster lotteries like it--and even smaller <!> ~$10 million draws--would be a tempting target, I'd think.

But, as noted, the Powerball lottery uses a drum and ball system rather than computerized random numbers. IIRC, 6/49 and Lotto Max still use ball and drum as well.
