The Science of Random Number Generators in Lotteries
https://lotteryboost.com/the-science-of-random-number-generators-in-lotteries/ Most digital lottery systems utilize PRNGs. These are software algorithms that start with a seed number and apply a complex mathematical formula to produce a sequence of numbers that appear random [1] . While highly efficient, PRNGs are technically deterministic; if you knew the exact seed and the algorithm, you could theoretically predict the outcome. To prevent this, modern lotteries use high-entropy seeds

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
It's interesting that states may have to put some thought in how they arrange numbers on their play slips to eliminate pattern selections if they don't have in place rules protecting themselves with parimutuel payouts for large payouts. I kind of remember Texas All or Nothing https://www.lotterypost.com/news/262005 having similar issues where they needed to add parimutuel to the rules for large payouts. Even though the article does not mention it I believe their play slips allowed you to sel

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Mentioning a conspiracy while claiming no conspiracy is just pure irony. If you'd spent enough time on the website you'd have seen dozens of them every time jackpot gets big. Just recently with someone claiming all the jackpots coming from one county in Michigan. I agree with you on one thing. There has never been so many second tier winners on a small jackpot. And if you'd read the article you'd understand the reason behind it. It's the way the playslips are for a lot of the states.

$110,000 Michigan Lottery Fantasy 5 Double Play winner has one month left to claimReply
Why? Do you think they collect the winnings personally? It says in the article that unclaimed prizes goes to the public schools. I think that unclaimed prizes should be returned to the players (a bonus drawing or something). But it's the state, so of course they keep it.

Thanks for featuring this article on the Lottery Post's site Kate for all us Canadian lottery post fans and subscribers to see.

Arizona Lottery delays expiration date of $12.8 million jackpot-winning ticket in legal battleReply
Circle K may have a higher legal claim to the ticket. The player that caused the printing of the ticket has a higher moral and justifiable reasons to the ticket and prize. The ticket value after the drawing ($12.8 Million) is no longer the same as the value (1 or 2 dollars) before the drawing and to this extents, Gawitzer's purchase of the ticket at the pre-drawing price is fraudulent and the sale is void ab initio. The Contest reduces to Circle K and the original purchaser. The
