Lead /pointer numbers & Illegal gambling numbers are the same.

One amusing way in which illegal gambling op-

erations obtain daily random numbers which are

publicly accessible is to take the hundredth digit

the last and most volatile digit of each day's Dow

Jones Industrials,Transportation,and the Utilities in-

dices respectively,and juxtapose them.For example,

if the Industrials closed at 2213.27,the Transpor-

tation stocks at 778.31, and the Utilities at 251.32,

then the number for the day would be 712. Since the

volatility of these last digits makes them essentially

random, every number from 000 to 999 is equally

likely to come up. And no one need fear that the

numbers are being cook either,since they appear

in the prestigious Wall Street Journal, as well as in

more plebeian papers.

Good Luck!!!
