+====== Lottery Machines ======
+Either the machines used to purchase lottery tickets directly (kiosk-style), or the machines used by a cashier to process one's lottery ticket. Over time, they have evolved from an x86 base and a Windows or DOS operating system, to x86 and ARM CPUs with either Windows or Linux-based operating systems.
+===== Illinois Lottery =====
+==== Operating Systems (x86?) ====
+=== Linux ===
+Quite like the Wisconsin (?) lottery machine, the Illinois lottery also uses Linux. Close economic linkage between the two, maybe? Or maybe, that's just the standard for American state lotteries?

+===== Montana Lottery =====
+==== Operating Systems (x86?) ====
+=== DOS (+Doom) ===
+>It was basically an old DOS box inside, so it wasn’t much of a stretch software-wise
+Good luck finding one of these. It is easy to make these run some other program though, apparently. One can simply insert a disk and set it to auto-run, and it will run it.

+===== Wisconsin(?) Lottery =====
+==== Operating Systems (Intel x86) ====
+=== Linux ===
+The OS that runs by default on these systems. EOP possibilities are simultaneously endless and unknown.
