Georgia:

Mon. 05/02 day 503 - on the day before 5/03!

Tue. 05/03 day 503 - on 5/03!

Tri-State Lottery:

Sun. 05/15 evening 0105

Sun. 05/22 evening 0103

Both of these are ball states.

Do you have any data or mathematics to prove your claim, Mr. Bluff Puppy?

Do you think the RNG code should be Open Source? Will that create more winners? Will it create more cheaters?

I understand the feear of States voiding draws.

But the fear of a casino (which voids slots wins alot) is a lot differnt than states voiding draws,

because the Casino is under the auspice of the State. Its an entirely different beast.

Although its a beast within a beast.

I could be wrong.

Each lottery defines their own random whether it's live ball drawings, a computer RNG, or putting the numbers on slips of paper and drawing them out of a hat. When the Tennessee Lottery went to RNG drawings, someone forgot to click the allow duplicate or repeat digits button and for there were no doubles or triples drawn in their pick-3 game for about a month.

They reduced the pick-3 odds to 720 to 1 and the pick-4 to 5040 to 1.

You always can compare to some model, but you cannot say that it is not random when your numbers don't turn up!

If you criticize that 0-9, no digit above 4 is drawn for a while, then you are criticizing the mathematics itself! Same for the sequence.

It's true there is no test that detects if a single data point is random, but there are tests that work on large sets of data points to test if they are random. The output of such tests is not a definitive yes or no answer, but a p-value.

I don't know why you are so windy all the time, but judging from your food pics you might benefit from eating some fresh vegetables once a while, you know, not drowned in cheese sauce. Very good for the brain.

Well now, let's see what we got here.....

A randomness test (or test for randomness), in data evaluation, is a test used to analyze the distribution of a set of data to see if it can be described as random (patternless). In stochastic modeling, as in some computer simulations, the hoped-for randomness of potential input data can be verified, by a formal test for randomness, to show that the data are valid for use in simulation runs. In some cases, data reveals an obvious non-random pattern... [ More ]

I don't know any test proving that a result is random or not. If one combination is drawn 1000 times in a row then it still is part of the probability calculation. Yes, but it is not part of WinD's probability calculation. So, you guys are WindD's

Other Texas anomalies:

277 wins three times in four nighttime drawings, including on the day that the number represents DDM. Note that July 26, 2009 was a Sunday, and no drawing took place that day.

Mon, Jul 27, 2009 Texas Pick 3 Night 2-7-7, Sum It Up: 16

Fri, Jul 24, 2009 Texas Pick 3 Night 2-7-7, Sum It Up: 16

Thu, Jul 23, 2009 Texas Pick 3 Night 2-7-7, Sum It Up: 16

Texas draws 666 on consecutive days twice in the same year.

Happens with ball drawing too. As much as we all hate RNGs, repeating combinations, pairs, and numbers is part of what happens in any lottery.

Here's results from Texas when we had one draw a day.....

N 6 10 1994 5 7 1 13

N 6 11 1994 7 1 5 13

And this....

N 2 11 1995 9 7 6 22

N 2 13 1995 9 7 0 16

N 2 14 1995 9 7 8 24

N 2 15 1995 9 7 2 18

N 5 25 1996 5 4 6 15

N 5 27 1996 5 6 4 15

states moving to computer picks for pk 3 & 4

If anyone needs more proof that the computer picks are not as random as they want you to believe then look at PA's draws for today. Pk 3 4 have the same numbers just different combinations. There will come a day that a state will void a draw claiming a computer malfunction Just like the casinos do with random number generators in slot machines.

Get ahead of this and sign the petition that on lottery post site.
