Proving a system worksReply
Arthur C. Clarke explained how there were four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature.a) It's nonsense, b) It is not important, c) I always said it was a good idea, andd) I thought of it first. BobPClarke was correct, but it's the institutional, the human personality side of science he's describing. The pure scientific approach would be toobserve a phenomenon, gather as much evidence as possible to explain the phenomenon,formulate a theo

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply
I do agree that any computer system can be compromised (as can a mechanical system). It is a constant battle to study what has gone wrong and what might go wrong so that we can stay ahead of the bad guys. You are quite right that humans are a big problem. Even with our RNG, if the independent auditor, the lottery person (or persons for many states) and someone at the control ageny (in WI's case, the Department of Revenue) conspire together, they can put out a press release with any numbers as

Steve Player systems are Junk gimmicksReply
TC:This is the second time I've read this email from the New Hampshire lottery. While I don't doubt its validity, I think it's interesting that I have sent two previous requests to Opcom asking for a response. I've been a Steve Player customer for several years now and, like Pick-4_Master, I enjoy tinkering with his pencil and paper systems, as they give me insight into the daily games one can't get from software. Admittedly, I have had limited success with these methods, but that's better than

NY Dream Team 2024Reply
My sister's birthday 410 hasn't hit this year so far in any order. 606 my coworker Zahra's birthday who's from Iran. I joked around a couple night's ago we're at war so you sit at that table and I'll sit at a separate one in the breakroom...didn't get a laugh. So big fail on that joke, but she said her daughters went on vacation back to Iran before all the war action started.. So now they are staying there because they are afraid to come back to America and and up deported or hassl

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
Are you in Texas? Have you been following anything Todd or Kate have written? Are you aware that Pete Sullivan, from Draft Kings testified that groups watch and target lotteries once the payout is larger than the permutations of the game? And that additional steps limiting the number of terminals and the number of tickets sold by any terminal has been instituted? Did you know that Texas lottery Commission prohibited third party couriers service as of last Monday? Are you aware th

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Because in today's America people lie and get away with it: The virus came from a wet market. Masks will prevent the spread. If you get the vaccine you can't give the Wuhan/Fauci Flu to anyone else. If we lock everything down it's over in a few weeks If you are hospitalized then a snip tail of drugs that will kill you but make Fauci a lot of money is the answer. There is no such thing as election fraud. No offense, but sometimes you actually have to think for yo

is the lottery rigged ?Reply
Throughout the years, a lot of individuals have questioned whether or not the lottery is fixed. Although the question may appear straightforward, the solution is really extremely intricate. First and foremost, it's critical to realise that the lottery is a game of chance. This implies that chance events rather than talent or effort determine the result. All lotteries, whether they are managed by the government or by for-profit organisations, have this characteristic. It's vital to kee

One ticket sold in Maine wins $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
They are now the richest and most taxed individual in the state of Maine. No telling whether they'll want it a for themselves or give a lot to charity, but after taxes they could end up with a bit over $400 million. Their tax bill would be higher but they'd still be about $100 million poorer than Stephen King. I didn't bother asking Google, but I think that King is the richest resident of Maine. could he/she get away from paying Maine taxes by simply moving to New Hampshire before claim
