The background image on the print paper is in unique postions. Someone has discussed the use of deltas to generated numbers at a terminal in other situations like this but not to this scale. These are like keys you can use to narrow down you combinations. And we no computers don't understand random numbers. They use seed to generate numbers that appear to be randomly chosen. But here, I think it is and outright error with the terminal like when TN switched to a computer drawing for pick 3 or som... [ More ]

That's about 1 : 2.8 x 1082

There is at best estimates about 1080 atoms in the observable Universe.

If you duplicated our Universe a little more than 280 times; you and I just happened to select an atom from them and they just magically happen to be exactly same atom from any of them is about the Odds of it.

The ticket on the left -- has it's background off centered and the back... [ More ]
