Even AI Agrees: Dr.Miracle's system stands out!Reply
Like I said, I didn t even know what Pick 3 was until I lost my job in the 2008 crash. For two years, I stayed home, unsure of what to do with my time. One day, I saw a lady at the counter picking random numbers, and the guy behind the machine kept pressing buttons as numbers printed out.

DC Lottery offers compensation for players affected by computerized draw errorReply
I've always defended the lottery when people post this draw history is bad by pointing out that randomly drawn numbers can generate patterns that may look funny in retrospect, but if they are random and unpredictable, then there's nothing wrong with it. Not any more! I will never defend the lottery as long as they use an RNG to choose winning numbers. Probability theory applies to random number drawings that do not contain errors. I had no idea that these RNG systems had bugs in it so many t
