The IL Lottery is immune to hackers…really

Beginning October 1st, the lottery will no longer consist of ping pong balls flying up tubes to pick the winner numbers. Instead, the numbers will be generated by digital format, on a system that is in a secure room with 24-hour surveillance plus other security layers and no connection to the Internet. In that case is hacker safe, they claim? http://www.illinoislottery.com/dailydrawings

Well then, let's start the stop watch…how long before the first hack to occur (not if but when).
How this is PC going to software updates/patches? Is it connected to other machines in the office? Does it have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection? How about IoT (Internet of Things)?
