Illinois: 4/1 - 4/30/2014Reply
This lottery is something else. Every time you turn around the company who bought the Illinois lottery is making changes. And not for the good. And now they want to make us computerized in June when there contract is up. I enjoy watching the drawings on tv. I hope it dont happen.

Yeah, I bet a lot of people are sooooo upset about that. i betcha thats atlleast one persons reason thats why they cant win, and they cheating and all that but the real deal is is just you still gotta be smart. Youjust gotta keep up with what the computerized machines and what sums they haven't had and stuff like that, its not so necessary to see the drawings you just gotta know what they are. Ya know, we made the computer, so we can't let the computer be smarter than us. WE MADE IT, right ? So

I need the math facts for 2 gamesReply
Hi, Any argument of computerized vs ball drawings is mute. The fact is, you will have to deal with the game as it is run. It is simply a matter if you can find a weakness in the game of choice. Best of luck

Will lotteries be suspended in 2012 due to the unusually volatile solar storms?Reply
actually, if they dont shut down lotteries based on computerized RNG, this could open up a possibility for taking advantage, it is known that even minute levels of radiation can cause circuitry to misbehave, there could possibly tons of winners in 2012 and . I dont believe (could be wrong) that they (lotteries) use TEMPEST shielding (same that is guarding nuclear missile control switches against pre-emptive nuclear blast and EMF) so in essence this could bust lots of establishments not just l

Missouri Lottery gives inside view of computerized drawingsReply
And again, I yell about something, and something is done about it! I have kept saying, show us how the computerized numbers are drawn so we have less fear of these drawings being used. Unfortunately the @* ^! BoobTube site won't allow me to download. Anyway now hehehe I can write my own program to mimic the computerized one. Doh! it's in Missouri, too far away! How about Pennsylvania Midday? use the same software??? We're there!!! By the way, don't we want it to NOT be too random? if it's com

What Are Your Personal Feelings On Computers?Reply
Well, my little beast monster aka mini notebook PC has a mind of it's own HAHAHA!!!!!! OK.........I'm really glad IL has ALL ball drawings. I never thought about it......do they do pretests on computerized games? Maybe to make sure the machine is working? Although I wouldn't say that the games are manipulated, who's to say they couldn't be at some point.

California: 1/1 - 1/31/2010Reply
California only has one game using real drawings (SuperLotto Plus). In fact, California has one of the worst documented computerized drawing errors ever. It lasted for something like three months, and excluded many tickets from ever winning a prize. I'm not going to tell the story again, because it is written about so many times in various news stories -- including in the past year. Use the Tag Cloud page to look up computerized drawing news stories. I am not aware of any other place you can

Neb. lottery numbers drawn twice in rowReply
The odds of one particular drawing to the next matching is 1 in 1000. The odds of it matching one drawing to the next at some point sometime is almost certain! The odds of *the next two drawings* matching a given drawing i.e. the same Pick-3 3 times STR, is 1 in 1 million. In the slot machine analogy (sorta) maybe they were thinking the odds of 2 specific draws in a row matching a *certain* STR # chosen arbitrarily. I'd love to have access to what kind of algorithm is used to run a computeriz

MI LotteryReply
Well..... I guess that sums it :) Keeping track of the past draws of MI 5/39 may be a waste of my time; since the drawings are now computerized. Thanks Raven62 for the state report card link.
