Well, there are a few answers to that question.
First, your question seems to assume some kind of linkage between a lottery machine and the numbers that are drawn -- as if the lottery machine either controls or "knows" what lottery balls will fall out of the tumbler that night.
So let's just say that on the face of it I do not think the question itself is grounded in reality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the question, as a lot of people ask that kind of thing, but I think it's important to first take a step back with these things.
For the next part of this, I will start by saying that I believe all lottery machines in a particular state use the same random number generation algorithm. The reason is that lottery machines get remotely loaded with software from the central computer.
For example, when a new game debuts, each lottery machine gets new software code installed, so that it is able to read play slips for the game, print tickets for the game, generate Quick Picks for the game, redeem winning tickets, etc. Somebody doesn't run around installing software on each machine, as that would be logistically unfeasible. Instead, all the machines download the software from a central computer, usually overnight.
In fact, lots of different changes can occur at any time overnight, and it's made possible by the fact that the machines automatically download software updates, just like your Microsoft Windows operating system can be setup to download updates at 3:00 AM. For example, if they want to change the promotional text or and/or pictures that appear on each lottery ticket that is printed, that can be downloaded and put into place automatically.
Now, I imagine that they could have different software code download and install on different lottery machines in different parts of the state -- but would that make sense? If they're going to make a change to the random number generation I would find it hard to believe that they would pick and choose different lottery terminals to receive the update -- they would just pump it out to everyone.
But then, assuming that this did happen, how could a random number algorithm possibly know which number sequence was going to hit that night? It's pretty far-fetched to think that the lottery machine is doing statistical analysis or something to come up with "better" numbers that another machine.
With all that being said, I don't want to leave the impression that I think the lottery machines have a particularly good RNG algorithm. I agree with others who posted in this thread that the machines seem to group similar numbers together.
I see that happen every time I buy several Quick Picks, like when the jackpot gets huge. As you go through the tickets to search for matches, it is very easy to see how the numbers come out in bunches. To me, a good Quick Pick generator would do a better job of scattering numbers, rather than consistently grouping numbers together.
To my knowledge, a state lottery has never acknowledged that their machines have an inferior RNG, even though most players can clearly see that they do.
However, I do not think any of this has anything to do with WHERE a winning ticket is sold. Ultimately the classic statement about more winners happening in places where more tickets are sold is true.
