Probability suggests that Powerball will go to Computer Generated Numbers.
It's based on the fact that 3/4 of the games already offered by the MUSL are Computer Generated Numbers.
Time is a factor also, time to test the new system.
It's nearing its end and so probably will Powerball's Ball Drawn Numbers.
Also, the magic act is hard to maintain... is Powerball Going Computer?
Some of the results I'm getting back on The Experiment to Test for True Randomness in Lottery Computer Generated Numbers is not at all comforting.
I basically had to invent from scratch a method of simulated instrumentation for detecting Randomness within a finite set of numbers like a Lottery drawing.
I first tested it on numbers generated by my computer and got about what I would expect for that type of simulated instrumentation.
However, when I applied the same simulated instrumentation to a Real Lottery Computer Generated Drawing, I was surprised.
The Experiment needs a few more things to work on, but if this proves to be powerful as it is, Look Out!
An American Hero Passed Away
Arthur H. Ferge, an American Hero and World War II Veteran, passed away this week. He is Uncle to my Ex-wife, Ann, and will be greatly missed by those who loved and knew him in life. My sons, Jamie and Bradley, just knew him as Uncle Art and loved him dearly.
Wausau Daily Herald - Posted October 18, 2007
Arthur H. Ferge
He was born May 2, 1922, in Schofield, son of the late August and Nettie (Hartson) Ferge. On Jan. 19, 1946, he married Clara Lawrence at Peace United Church of Christ, Schofield. She survives.
Arthur retired in 1984 after working 34 years at the former American Can Co., now known as Lignotech USA Inc., Rothschild. He served his country in the United States Army during World War II in the 8th Infantry Division, 28th Infantry Regiment, and saw combat in the European Theatre of Operations. Arthur was the recipient of the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star, Good Conduct Medal, ETO ribbon with four Bronze Battle Stars, Normandy Campaign Award and was entitled to wear the French Croix Degwerre Award. Besides being a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Burns Post No. 388, Wausau, he was also a member of the American Legion Montgomery-Plant No. 10, the Battle of the Bulge Northern Wisconsin Chapter No. 1, the 28th Infantry Regiment Reunion Organization, charter member of Last Man's Club and the 28th Infantry Association Black Lions. Some of his hobbies included fishing, hunting and going to his cottage. He also enjoyed gardening, carpentry and, above all, spending time with his family who he loved dearly.
Survivors include his wife, Clara, Schofield; daughter Marilyn (Thomas) Benishek, and granddaughter Nicole Benishek, both of Schofield; and many other nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by five sisters, Evelyn, Jenny, Jessie, Eleanor and Margaret; and one brother, William.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 19, 2007, at Peace United Church of Christ, Schofield. The Rev. Larry Treece will officiate. Burial will be in Pine Grove Cemetery, Wausau, where full military honors will be conducted. Friends may call from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at the Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 1302 Sixth St., Wausau, and again from 10 a.m. until the time of services Friday at the church.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Aspirus Cardiac Telemetry, Saint Clare's Hospital and Dr. Grim for their wonderful care of Arthur.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the VFW Honor Guard Post No. 388, Wausau, or to Peace United Church of Christ, Schofield.

link - Combinatorial Mathematica
I didn't think this would have the effect it would this early in the experiment. 
I'm surprised at the results this far in. 
A few more tests, then we'll see. 
We have started the first few entries for our new internet book of math, physics and programming.
Also, it will not be limited to just those major headings.
The book will be continually updated as more ideas become available.
I hope we like it.
The named title will be, "The Combinatorial Mathematica".
The Experiment progresses nicely.
Initial results are very encouraging and quite possibly disturbing.
The work continues.
I highly recommend those of you interested in my mathematical postings to install MathPlayer by Design Science.
I'll be posting math equations in my external Lottery Post pages using the MathPlayer format.
No, there will be no backward formatting or reformatting to a different method, no exceptions, that's it, the end.
You'll have the opportunity to install MathPlayer at the initial web page visit, or you can click on the link at the bottom of the visited page, or you can do it now by clicking on the link below.
You have to see this one. It may pop up here in the U.S. sometime.
As you can see, the Remainder Wave Integer Distribution follows the Normal Distribution curve, shown below.
Looking at the Remainder Wave for the DJIA data from 2001-10-04 to 2007-09-19, it looks like it would be too erratic to predict. However, if we transform the Remainder Wave Data from a Decimal value to an Integer value we can then find the approximate Distribution based on that Integer value. The Remainder Wave Integer Distribution for 1500 samples for the dates from 2001-10-04 to 2007-09-19 is as follows.
Hmm, this distribution looks like something.
What could that be???
After the Tennessee Lottery Debacle, I noticed there was an unusual picking pattern in the numbers that were selected for the Pick 3 style game. Thinking about this for a while, I arrived at two different theories as to why these numbers are so unusual. One is that there could be an inside or near inside job to alter the numbers being produced. The other is that there is a flaw in the computer picking process that lead to the unusual selections. I now believe that it is the result of a flaw. I will not provide too much feedback, however, I can say that it's in the logic of selection that an illogical approach is being used that resulted in the deviant numbers. My hand held calculator helped me realize this. I need to study a bit more on other computer generated number lotteries. The mishap in Tennessee helped magnify this flaw enough that it could be seen relatively easily. With other lottery types, it may be more subtle. Everyone needs to do their own work on this one; look and look hard because it's there, even though the numbers may appear random. Good luck and skill hunting everyone.
Below is an animation of the Regression Line and the Waves added one at a time from 1 to 10 and the Remainder. The gray line is the Original DJIA data. You can see as the Regression, Waves and Remainder are summed, they become the Original DJIA Data.
Dow Jones Industrial Waves
In working on the Wave Matrix, I've been making it adaptable to different kinds of data. I created a tweak program to work with. It takes a single column of data and finds the Wave Matrix; it automatically adjusts the d-values based on Amplitude and Wavelength. Below are some graphs of the Wave Matrix applied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average for 1500 values for the dates of 2001-10-04 to 2007-09-19.
