part of the problem with computerized drawings is that state lotteries use third party vendors to make overly elaborate computer programs that the lottery employees themselves cannot easily audit because they're run on some proprietary systems. an eighth grader could write a simple python or javascript program to generate lottery numbers. this is not difficult stuff. and it would be cheaper to do this in-house. but probably some lottery officials get kickbacks for outsourcing every single l

same Ga. Cash 3 number hitting straight 3 days in a row all midday?
so on 9/17/25 239 dropped midday and on 9/18/25 239 dropped midday and on 9/19/25 239 dropped midday What are the odds on that? welp they are 1 in 1,000,000 Why? once a number hits on Day 1, the chance it repeats exactly on Day 2 is 1/1000, and repeats again on Day 3 is another 1/1000. Multiply 1/1000 x 1/1000 = 1 /1,000,000 Rule-of-thumb: you d expect a three-day identical run about once every 2,700 2,800 years of daily midday draws Research it for yours

Interesting! But when this happens with a computerized draw, we have people screaming that the state needs to go back to ball drawings because they must be cheating with the RNG. Humans are very good at spotting patterns. It takes far more data (or physical evidence) to imply an unfair drawing.
