Todd For California Lottery CommissionerReply
Want to know the first thing I'd do? Look to get rid of the computerized drawings! Wow Todd, You are receptive. You have some great ideas how to reform CA lacking lottery sales. Also get rid of that Horse race lottery. Start a Pick-4 game, and Daily Keno game. How about a twice a day Fantasy-5 game? Allow CA residents to play on line. That traveling ball drawing is an excellent idea. I will certainly E-Mail our Gov and suggest you as our next, permanent Lottery Commissioner. Please, other lotte

computer states switching back to ballsReply
Maryland's lottery director publicly stated that he wasn't in favor of computerized drawings. He also said from the looks of it neither were the citizens of Maryland. Does that mean Maryland won't eventually switch to pc's drawing the numbers. I think not. I do however go with the fact that if you put a do not touch paint sign on a park bench that someone will touch it to see if it's wet. By this same token lottery directors probably review some of these threads and if people continually put the

Maryland Lottery a case study in the science of random numbersReply
Randomness and predictibility. it would seem that the two words fit the sentence very well but not really. If one could predict a random event every time it wouldn't be random. because the logic would come into play.I'd say that it one was to somehow be able to place a camera and link it to a pc for a keno game that uses a computer chip. That the numbers being drawn run in cycles if you had a program that could decipher the numbers and keep track, at some point it would find the numbers that are

Texas Computerized DrawingsReply
Quote: Originally posted by Todd on January 31, 2005MollyG,Too bad that you have decided to come out FOR computerized drawings, when you yourself said you have no preference. That is MY opinion. (USA!)One other opinion of mine is that Texas will NOT do whatever they want. They will only do whatever they want if there is more apathy on the subject, as NO PREFERENCE indicates. When everyone comes together in unison and votes AGAINST , and when lots of people get together and find every conceiv

Landmark bill would ban computerized lottery drawings in DelawareReply

When I saw the Delaware logo with that post I assumed it was from their site. Not realizing that, I wondered were you found the article. So I surfed Delaware site. I realized rather quickly that it wasn't something they would post. I didn't have time to do and Internet search for the article. I had several errands to run. Konane has posted what I was ask

What are you going to do different in 05'Reply
Since Wisconsin switched to computerized drawings, for the short term I might go with a filtered quick pick approach. Instead of picking individual numbers I am just going to play filtered combinations. As far as what numbers to play. I use Lotto Pro and as a general rule I throw out the bottom six numbers on the Number Statistics Chart and also throw out the due numbers if I believe none of those are going to hit. Then decide whether or not to play any prior numbers and possibly throw those out

computerized drawings...a findingReply

It's set up to play the numbers with the least payout and maximum profit. So the days of bettin $20 on 1 line and winning are pretty much over with.

computerized drawings...a findingReply
Yes I agree 100% Maverick! The players are the ones spending the money. This is OUR game! Why does the lottery think it has the right to switch to computerized drawings without even polling the public? The lottery does not even have the courtesy of asking their players what they want. They should have people vote on this. We have to do more than sign the petition. We should contact the higher ups (Governors,Congressmen,Senate,etc) I suppose most of these idiots will think they have more

What determines a traveling numberReply
Hey there lottaloot, I hope that you have finally had some hits in Michigan. A number can go to just another state and it is a traveling number. As long as it moves. What I am about to say is strictly my observation. At sometime or another all numbers are travelers. Actually it's the timing that travels. I'm only speaking of numbers that are drawn with those swirling ping pong balls, not the computerized drawings. Timing meaning the time that it takes each phase for the number to be drawn. The t
