I suspect you do not understand the process of selecting lottery numbers using a computer. Computerized and RNG is the same process.Good luck,Jake

This is from PA websiteWhat kind of machines are used for the mid-day drawings? Answer The Pennsylvania Lottery uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) to randomly select the numbers for the mid-day drawings of The Daily Number and Big 4. A Random Number Generator consists of highly secure computerized systems that generate numbers in a random manner.Random Number Generators have been used with the utmost confidence and security by lotteries for many years. The Pennsylvania Lottery first used an RN... [ More ]

7 7 2 7 7 7 3......i have my own theory maybe just maybe some of the balls do sometimes weigh just a tiny smidgen less or more than the other balls,not that they are doing it on purpose and i'm not saying its rigged but maybe that when they are made it just happens like that periodically....

Look at Pa's midday numbers for Dec 3rd, 2004 . . .7 7 27 7 7 3Two sevens and a two, three sevens and a three. Is this what random is supposed to be? A cosmic joke? Or what happens when the Lottery Director takes a day off? BobP

Bottom Line: With the jackpot odds being so astronomical, state/multi-state lotteries are a suckers bet. That is the real shame... but of course they must make a profit.

Yes, those #'s are very suspect too. Basically lottery officials know we don't have anything on em, with which to charge em on.

On May 22, 1999, the Lottario lottery in Ontario drew the following numbers:1 2 3 4 5 33 Bonus 25As expeced, there were many lower tier prize winners and therefore low prizes. The average win for matching 5 numbers is $821. For this draw, a 5 number match paid only $43.Interestingly, there were 3 winning jackpot tickets and 3 tickets that matched 5 numbers plus the bonus number. Lottario is a 6/45 game. I suspect the same person won all 6 prizes by buying a total of 40 tickets. Each tick... [ More ]

Naive hits it right on the button. The correct term is it's probably not altered on every draw lol.

Smaller the game the greater the chance (abet still small) the odd type draws that catch the eye will occur. The old Florida Fantasy 5/26 repeated jackpot combinations at later dates often enough that if you had played all the winning combinations as your tickets each draw over the years you would have made a profit.

I don't think Maryland's Bonus Match 5 is fixed. From a probability standpoint, 33-34-35-36-37 has the exact same chance of coming out as any other set of numbers.

weird lottery numbers

ExpertLotto — Thu, 02 Dec 2004 10:31:44 GMT

i'm just wondering, what are the most weird lottery numbers ever drawn?has it ever happened (in any lottery) that e.g. numbers '1,2,3,4,5,6' or '44,45,46,47,48,49' or a bit more likely '1,2,3,4,5,7'? also has anybody won anything for such numbers
