Are Lotteries RiggedReply
To Konane:Thanks for your support.I've long considered your point concerning multiple ballsets. Illinois uses twenty ballsets and twelve machines for their daily games. The ballset and machines are chosen at random before each drawing, and these machines are then tested several times before the drawing takes place. Michigan has a similar policy. Initially, it seems that you actually have to choose your numbers from a pool of 200 (twenty ballsets x ten balls each), but this really isn't the case.

Fooled by RandomnessReply
Stack47, I pretty much answered how systems are created from back testing and acknowledged the fact had the 527 birthday boy played that number from the beginning, he would have probably lost money. Haven't seen all the systems but the majority I have seen are based on past drawings so of course they'll show a profit after the fact. This is a very common approach in the stock trading System business too. They optimize the parameters of their system on a particular time frame and then rep

Are pick3 and pick4 numbers sequentially drawn? RNG questions...Reply
At least at one point in the past Tennessee's RNG definitely picked 3 and/or 4 individual digits. Maybe they make that information available somewhere, but even if they wanted to keep it a secret we know that's how they were doing it because for a short period the RNG was configured incorrectly and would not output a digit that had already been used for a specific drawing. Whatever digit came up as the first one couldn't come up as the 2nd one, and neither of the first two could come up in the 3

Connecticut Lottery considering switch to computerized drawingsReply
Lildarryl, Were you working for GM back in the 1980s when they told their employees nothing had went into profit sharing that year but yet those at the top got millions in bonuses? For a lottery, which face it makes obscene profits, to sweat the salaries of a very few people just proves the greed on the side of those who run the lottery. It's not like they're worried about a spread, buying a tangible product for one price and selling it for higher. Actually there is no real tangible pro
