Good point. If the people don't speak up, those in power are not going to go out and find some who doesn't agree with them. Get your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to contact the lottery people - and the Governor. It only takes 40-50 people to shut down his telephone system. Do that three of four nights in a row, and they will react. How bad do you want it happen is the question

The communisht just doesn't have his priorities in order. Maybe the television people need to hear from Pick 3 players that they'd like to see it. Jack

Boise Saints!!!! That'll get the LDS going!!I know the lottery folk don't care about our Predic's but it would love to witness Idaho's computerized PIC 3 draw. I was told by the Commish it wasn't worth the money to show it on TV.

I'll mention Lottery Post if I win. Maybe I'll do so in California; would I get my picture taken with Arnold? BTW I'm not a Republican.

The lottery people couldn't care less about this web site - until some one hits a big one and mentions it.Be sure to mention LP when you win! Do what Todd suggested, buy a hat or shirt that can be photographed.

I don't think they care what people are trying to predict. Tons of people here everyday make predictions and I doubt they have the time, or care what's going on.

I'd like to know if we tip them off. Anybody who buys a lottery ticket can do so.

There's probably no burning need to be apologetic for your posts. We all give our own opinions constantly and they're worth the price of the electrons it takes to get them onto a screen.Random number generators are one of the ways lotteries manifest numbers for their draws... they conjure them out of a computer. You'll find a lot of threads expressing opinions about that method, so you'll soon know everything a person could wish to know about RNG and why it's anathema to lotteries.Welcome to L... [ More ]

Jack, thank you for your opinion. And I just took the poll like everybody else and gave my own opinion. I was not trying to suggest anything about this website. I enjoy this site like everybody else and I hope I can continue to post as long as my health allows me too. Can you tell me what RNG means

Key phrase: Maybe I am parinoidA reality check every now and then can sometimes help. Take a look at the MD MM Challenge history. The lottery people aren't lying awake nights fretting over whether anyone's broken the program.On the other hand, any gambler who believes the game is fixed would be crazy to continue playing. And anyone who believes the lotteries are reading the threads and predictions here so's to jimmy the draw results certainly ought to give some thought to whether to post pre... [ More ]

I'm not sure what RNG means, however I do know that the balls are pick ramdomly by ball sets. There are certain numbers that comes out each month. And certain numbers that follow each other. There is a computerize system to give them the value of how many times those balls are chosen, that is why there is a certain payout amount on the system. If it pays out too much, then you can rest assure that those ball sets will not be chosen. That is why sometime we are off on our picking of the numbers.... [ More ]

Glad to see this poll, and glad to see that most people answered no . After all, I'm not sure what a lottery person could do if they see someone's prediction. I think the most they could do is to wish the person doesn't win

If I post numbers they are usually from an RNG like www.random.org. I don't think you are tiping lottery officials off at all. If the numbers look good there is a chance that someone will play them creating multiple winners should they come up. If they were going to rig the lotteries there would be far more 300 million dollar jackpots since they would get a large spike in sales by doing so.

I don't like to tip anyone in Lotto. I have a small budget.

Two items.First, As far as ping pong balls are concerned, and not computerized ones, There is practically no way to manipulate them in a drawing, which I might add is witnessed by an independent auditor, as the drawing is taking place.Secondly, Proof of honesty by The Lottery People , comes by the way of science.You can run RNGs over and over again, and compare them with real state drawings and come up with pretty much the same amount of hits.If after a simulated 1000 drawings of RNGs spit ou...

We're like fleas on the dog, the lottery ignores us unless we make a nuisance of ourselves and force them to take notice. Their only interest is in hitting their projections. A predictor would have to hit often enough to affect profit to wake the lottery up. On the other hand, they do notice how much is wagered on every Pick-3/4 number and take action to cut off play on numbers over subscribed. So better to ask if the lottery might try to avoid drawing a number with a high incidence of play.... [ More ]

Some predictors may believe they are picking winning numbers and lotteries are picking other numbers just to make them look bad, but they are legends in their own minds. The facts are somebody going to win regardless of the numbers drawn and as the odds suggest there are going to be a lot of losers.

I often wondered if the lottery people are using our predictions to determine what numbers they will or will not let fall. I know all about probability and statistics, so please don't come at me with that. I want to know your gut feeling.
