Predicting the lottery and quantum mechanics both involve counterintuitivity.

Key digits are 6, 7, 9.

Whichever wins. The FL lottery rolled from $3M all the way to $47M and last night 2 people split the jackpot. One player bought a QP and the other used his/her own numbers.

I said on another post that the numbers were 5 even and 1 odd and 4 out of 6 were 32 or higher. I looked at all the previous drawings and I see no pattern whatsoever except someone thought of 6 numbers and got lucky. Maybe they were ages, his street number, his license number or he threw some balls into a pillowcase an... [ More ]

The action of the draw gives each numbered ball a fair and equal chance of being drawn and the chance depends on how many numbered balls are used. In pick-3 games there are three draws and in each draw we have 1 chance in 10 of guessing which ball will be drawn.

The results are always one 3 digit number from 000 to 999 and if we look at each drawing as a new event, we always have the same 1 in 1000 chance of guessing correctly. But even if look at it as a new drawing, there are still mathema... [ More ]

I would say that the predictability of randomness is stronger than the randomness of predictability, because the predictability of randomness implies the existance of a Being to predict the randomness. For example, the bible says that in the beginning, there was God and His WORD, therefore, the predictability of randomness is stronger, because in order to make a prediction, a Being must be there to do that.

randomness is the action by which the balls are drawn.

predictability is ones ability to predict the draw.

Since no one knows before the draw which numbers will come out, it's a lucky guess if they get em all right. Or perhaps they play the same numbers all the time. Or they used software, paper and pencil and any numbers of tricks or tips.

Which do you think is greater, stronger, more valid, or do you
