Since you're a fellow python 3 programmer, you might want to look at Codeskulptor.

It lets your run python 3 code (most of basic functionalities) in a browser

That way users who are shy from installing python don't have to.

Can't use the PIL module or many other modules though, but for all the other processing of a lottery program, you can do.

Fun is the real key factor

I wrote it in Python 3 using the PIL module. It only spits out numbers in the command line, nothing fancy like yours that overlays the numbers on the original image. My method of extracting pseudorandom numbers from the rgb data is a little different from yours. Just for comparison, I ran the program using the same public domain image of the Buddha statue that you used in your second example and these are the numbers I got

Pick 2: 57

Pick 3: 812

Pick 4: 1407

5/39: 6-16-26-32-34

6

oooh.fun....what are you writing it in?

I just did mine in javascript.

Thanks. I think I'll write up my own RGB-based image-PRNG to see how the output compares to my other one.

I add rgb values of all pixels up. and I need to generate 13 numbers or less so I just total up all the rgb values in image and make 13 chunks of it for 13 numbers.

Then just use each number mod-ed by whatever the lottery needs for example for powerball it's mod-ed by 69 and powerball is mod-ed 26.

Simple does it I think

I like what you've done cddvd. I wrote something similar a few years back to generate random cryptographic keys from the binary encoding of an image. Does your program use the raw bits of the binary enocoding as the input, or the rgb values of pixels, or something else

Many of the replies were way beyond my comprehension level. I don't know what to reply to them.

Very original with fun as a by-product. Would love to see this in operation.

I don't know how random these are but it was a lot of fun playing with different images.

At first I just outputted text but then I thought it was too dull, so I decided to overlay over image as well as text on the side just in case people might want to copy the text but visually I like how the overlay looks.

This is probably one of the biggest hidden truths the lottery doesn't want you to realize.

True random does not exist anywhere in the known universe. For every event there is an event

that preceded it. If it were possible to follow every process involved, I am sure we would end up

standing before God.

I had to do it.

Randomizing the timer, we wrote a pseudo-random number generator to generate 5 integers between 1 and 35, sort them, toss out any sets with dupes, and write it to a junk file. In all we ran 15295 arbitrary sets. To make it a little more precise, rather than just plotting how many 1s fell in the first position, and 2s in the second, we further broke the numbers into front and back digits, producing 10 positions as such.....

I think it s a great idea! Why not? Problem with random is no one really understands what random means in the universe. We have some simple definition of yeah that s what random is, but we don t understand what it is. That s a fact.

hello,DVD you also have to try to exclude blocks of sequences, instead of predicting numbers,

example in a lottery 49/6

You have to predict 6 numbers in 49, left over

43x6 you have to try to exclude blocks of sequences

43 what more do you foresee 6 understands

I'm baffled by the need to generate a truly random set of numbers in the prediction process.

I don't see how such generation would help in predicting a truly random set produced by other means.

Naturally truly random is a good thing for the state, since they don't want you to win. But calling it truly random is a bit of a farce since we are dealing with a finite set and all the combinations in the set are known. Truly random would be......

hello cdd, you do not have to think about generating numbers, but think about generating

random patterns, or the numbers are or are not standard, so simple

A system I thought of yesterday.

According to random org, numbers generated by the computer is not truly random.

So they use atmospheric noises to generate their random numbers, they say it's closer to the rolling of a die or lottery draws.

I am not saying they're absolutely correct, but there's definitely something different about computer generated numbers and real life's randomness.

So I thought what if I take the values from pixels from image, that's from the lighting in real lif... [ More ]
