Computerized drawings coming to OHIOReply
Ohio has shown the live evening drawing for almost 30 years, it's become a tradition, and the type of draw (Ping Pong balls) is part of that tradition so I doubt that will change. The Mega Millions draw is only shown when the jackpot is high but the numbers begin scrolling across the bottom of the screen seconds after the draw. I'm assuming that's what they will do with the new Ten-Oh game. The Midday Pick-3 and Pick-4 drawings and the Kicker, which is an option with the Mega Millions tickets

Time to complain to the Delaware LotteryReply
Delaware does NOT care about ANYONE who plays its lottery. The ONLY thing they care about is to use the most sophisticated computerized software that illegally/unjustly/unethically increases its profit margin by scanning pre-selected combinations in the window before the drawing to elude winning combinations founded upon patterns found in randomness! whew-- I'm out of breath now! Can I prove this? No. But do I KNOW this? YES. Delaware's drawings defy randomness. And if they

So you must be asking if the lottery really is random. After all, anything based soley on chance can't be predetermined. If the drawing is not computerized, then 1/2 of a second could change which balls are drawn, right? Look at the Olympics. Everytime somebody "l

Sign the petition - eliminate computerized drawings!Reply
Hello, Ms Nettles says Texas is going computerized on Cash 5 in March, and intends to follow suit with the rest, dventually. In a sense, I'm looking forward to such...only because: the past hasn't proved prosperous, maybe the future will....who knows. (Maybe the Random Picker on my computer will match more with theirs....lol) Texas has changed the Lotto so much, they have almost gone 'belly-up' with it... If, by some miracle, the computer drawings become more profitable for the p

computer drawiings
Lets talk computerized lottery drawings. 1st, the ticket you buy is controlled by a computer. 2nd, The computer has a record of all the tickets that are purchased even if you pick your own numbers. 3rd, the computer knows what combination of numbers have not been purchased. What prevents the computer of the random number generator from knowing what these numbers are and just using these numbers when it spits out the next draw numbers. There is no way of telling. I guess it's ju

Rigged LotteryReply
I occasionally notice things like that between very separate games, such as the same three numbers being drawn within a few weeks of each other across some of the smaller state draw games where I live and one or two of the larger multi-state draw games. However, because the games are so separated (something like my state's computerized pick 5 game and then a multi-state behemoth like powerball), it is extremely unlikely to be the result of a shared and faulty RNG program across all of these game

New Pick2 and Pick5 coming to FloridaReply
I noticed on the FL Lottery promo video announcement that they accurately state that Pick 3 and Pick 4 play the same way as Cash 3 and Cash 4, but it failed to mention that the numbers are NOT DRAWN THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE. If you watch the drawings, Pick 3 is now drawn along with Pick 2 and the numbers are not drawn in consecutive order according to position like they were in Cash 3/Play 4 before August 1st, 2016. Pick 2 and Pick 3 are now drawn together as a set of 5 numbers in random ord

Why Do Mathematicians Consider The Lottery RandomReply
Boney526, You deserve a medal for your last two posts! CARBOB, joker17, LottoAce, lotterybraker, When you think about all the uncertainties surrounding the drawings, things like fraud potential, possible RNG weaknesses, etc., etc., you really need to pull back and observe the situation from a more global perspective. You need to reflect on one simple fact that most of us are aware of. Namely, the overall percentage of PEOPLE BUYING QUICKPICK TICKETS very closely approximates the percent
