Bowling ball manufacturers have develop lower weight bowling balls with less deflection when they hit the pins. The idea is so bowlers can switch from a 16 pound ball to a 15 or 14 pound ball without a huge reduction in pin carry. I doubt they could even measure the difference of two balls weighing 15 pounds, 15 ounces if the difference is to the eighth decimal point.

Maybe the lotteries should replace the ping pong balls with bowling balls to eliminate any ideas of a conspiracy to rig the dr... [ More ]

What about the exterior texture of the balls. I do not think that all the balls have the same surface texture if you put them under a microscope.

Magnify something to a hgh degree and see what the results are.

From the Texas Lottery website:

The ball sets are weighed in accordance with procedures and a planned schedule. The Independent Accounting Firm observes and certifies the internal weighing of ball sets. Each ball must meet very strict weight guidelines: The weight of each Ping Pong style ball must fall within +/- 0.095 grams of the average weight of the ball set. The weight of each natural-rubber ball must fall within +/- 1 gram of the average weight of the ball set.

So, yeah, peopl... [ More ]

I bet the audit company didn't know this, but if a couple of balls weighs 2.00323 grams and the rest weigh 2.00444 grams then the balls that weigh 2.00323 are going to move a subtly faster way (i am talking speed) but in miliseconds...In seconds you will not see a difference but in miliseconds with a chronometer, you might see the difference, which brings me to the next topic...

In miliseconds not all balls are going to move the same speed (well i depends on the dimensions of the machine, but... [ More ]

i read far too many posts where people focus too much on what specific balls that will come out next draw...i have not read much about general trends like: next draw will probably be high balls twentys and up because that has not come up in a while and the stats average say it should come out in about 10 draws or so...or next draw should be mostly or skip 30s etc....if you think in general terms it is easier to get a feel for the draws...then you can narrow down from there..i think the other way...

Why yes, I HAVE researched this, but not in the manner of which you speak.

I HAVE tracked very carefully all Powerball drawings - including all test games - for over two years, and I can tell you with absolute certainty there is no one or two or three 'certain numbers' that hit more often than others ALL the time WHEN a particular ballset or ball machine is in use.

I thought of this a long time ago, others have wondered, I researched it, and I have the charts to prove it.

.....became suspicious after word on the street came out that the game was fixed....

That's got to be the craziest thing i've heard...WHO in their right mind, will tell the state lottery, that one of their game is rigged to their disadvantage?

It doesn't make sense such a story, but yeah i heard of the story before...Thanks Cointoss any way....

What i am basically saying? That all balls CAN NOT have the same weight number to the last decimal ending digit....This is a phenomenon that occurs EVERYTIME in nature and manufacturing...I think they call it in manufacturing the ACCEPTABLE STANDARD WEIGHT or something of that nature...Example...Every can of soup in the supermarket may say that it weights 1.38 pounds (or whatever) but if you use a sensitivity scale that weighs to the last decimal or weighs to 8 decimals, you will notice that the...

Go to this site http://www.msla.state.md.us/ click on the Lil red TV that says on demand scroll to the bottom of the page and watch the video. They will show you the machine they use to weigh the balls . All the balls have a parameter of weigh not to deviate more or less than a few tenths of a gram. I have used these machines to weigh other stuff they are very accurate.

Ever since this haooened, lotteries are super aware of ball weight, paint on the balls, etc...:

From Yahoo answers, Are Lotteries Rigged?:

n 1980, the host of the Pennsylvania lottery drawing, Nick Perry andseven others participated in a plot to rig the Daily Number,colloquially known as the Triple Six Fix.

On the night of April 24, 1980 the number 666 was drawn and a handfulof players came forward to claim $1.8 million of the then record $3.5million pay-out.

Has anyone tried this before? I don't think no one has...Has anyone check for the weights of each lotto balls to the last decimal digit...I know that by standards all lotto balls of a particular lottery game have to weight the same...I know that....But what i am saying is: NOT ALL BALLS ARE GOING TO WEIGH THE SAME TO THE LAST DECIMAL DIGIT...Specially if you have a very sensitive weighing system....

For example, let's put this example of the sake of argument...I don't know how much each of th... [ More ]
