Mechanical Random Number Generator
Here's how I built my mechanical RNG, modify it as you wish for whatever kind of game you want. I built mine mostly for Virginia's cash 5 which is a 5 in 34 game. I took 34 soft drink plastic bottle tops, mine are yellow, and with a good permanent magic marker I numbered each one on the outside 1 thru 34. Then put them in a box or container (even a plastic grocery bag, and blow it up like a balloon) and shake it. Then pick one without looking at the number and continue shaking and

Powerball Machine Number and Ball SetReply
WRONG. I have THOROUGHLY used Test draw data for almost 3 years, and there is nothing there 'solid' enough to use in predicting numbers in the next game. I have Excel spreadsheets with ALL this data on it. And yes, of course folks' numbers have been picked in the test games and not the real games, but that also goes the other way: folks' numbers have been picked in the real games but not the test games. I have not seen ANYTHING in the ballsets or ball machines used to indicate a 'hot' n

If you can guess just one digit ...you win if no double +Reply
.....Another advantage with Doubles If we go wild one day and play for Straights instead of Boxes we have a lot better chance with our doubles plays. Singles .... we have a 1 n 24 chance at a Straight . With Doubles..... we have a 1 n 12 shot ! Better Odds .... Bigger Wins..... Much Much better shot at a Straight . I like em' P.S. Even if we were to play all the singles under one digit..... its 21.00 bucks .....as opposed to 27 for doubles...... f

If you can guess just one digit ...you win if no double +Reply
Sure ..... I got a million ways to figure double or single. LOL Doesn't everyone? At least in Pick 4 it's almost a 50/50 shot . Even if your wrong its only going to be about HALF the time. LOL Unlike the Cash 3 game .....where it's 3 to 1 basically. The conclusion for me is .... why fret over which way to go ...... always play doubles ! That way you don't have to torture over which way to play. (( unless your state just had 3 or 4 doubles in a row....then I would be partial to a single

what are the oddsReply
You can calculate your odds more easily by calculating how likely the lottery is to miss your numbers. Multiplication rule of independent events If you have 10 picks, the lotto has a 990/1000 chance of missing your numbers (99/100) each day for 28 days. (99/100)^28 = .7547 (or 75.47%) This leaves you at a 24.53% chance to win $500 over a 28 day period with 10 tickets for each day. Long story short: $280 purchase with 24.53% chance to win $500. Wouldn't take that myself personally.
