I don't concern myself too much with the dynamics of randomness or it's existence as it pertains to PB or MM.

My system is the same one used by most of the multi-millionaires out there who have won the big jackpots - dumb luck.

I understand the search and the work put into finding a system or formula for predicting the numbers and I realize that it's a fun hobby and a passion for some people. I think that's a good thing and I hope somebody cracks the code at some point and wins big. But th... [ More ]

Mega millions and powerball haven't had millions of drawings and they never will.

It is pretty obvious that these conjectures are false.

All of those things are perfectly possible when the results are the product of true randomness. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but you definitely don't understand something. Since you apparently know that card counting works I'll assume you're misundertsanding what random really means. Shuffling a deck of cards or mixing and selecting lottery balls may not be absolutely, perfectly random, but it is random none the less. Some events may... [ More ]

The begining and the end to all things existed. The between are measurements of its existence.

The movement by 1 between the start and end of something are pushed by a force. In lottery it's pushed by digital output, or machanical wheel with gravity and velocity on the balls. It is a random event inside the selections of those balls, if it is done non-digitally.

All numbers are part of math, an element. When they come together in a string of 3 - 6 numbers per draw, a pattern emerges like y... [ More ]

Even if lotteries aren't totally random, the odds of winning their jackpots make it seem like they are.

just some info I found I thought I would share with my lp family members...since this is always a subject...

The definition of the word random is, 'a process of selection in which each item of a set has an equal probability of being chosen.' A great definition except for the fact that it can never be realized in the real world! There's a good reason for that. Random is a theoretical concept bandied about in the mathematical ivory towers of academia that is being passed off as if it actually e... [ More ]
