The digit 7 has 300 occurrences in a 3 digit number set, as do all of the digits. Thirty drawings where 7 appears is not statistically significant.

Please explain the logic behind your statement that lottery games are not random because you get correct numbers.

The question still remains even to this day........

Is there a standardized test or safeguards ....for these state run games and their computer draws?

The standardized test for randomness in lottery drawings is chi-square hypothesis testing. You can also use ANOVA tests with your own random number simulations to determine if the difference in population variance is significant. Among other techniques both of these are used by lottery auditors and vendors.

It's a little beyond the scope... [ More ]

hmmm. just catching up on some reading. i find nothing random about any of the lottery games I play since I get correct numbers EVERY time I play hmmm

I use LOA and never fail, ppl want you to THINK it is a random game so subconsciously you THINK it is hmmm

Promethius1,

Everything you always wanted to know about Randomness.

Note the difference between Statistical Randomness and True Randomness. Many patterns that LP members think are not Random, are really to be expected in True random sequences.

Here's a really great post covering some different aspects of computer draws here.

A lot of this post had our fellow member and our wonderful friend Ricky Paurths ...contributing and offering some great input on the subject.

There should be.

The TN lottery defied all probability when the drawings went one week with no duplicate digits especially with the 4 digit game. It went on for over three weeks and had anyone noticed, they got 720 to 1 odds on pick-3 and virtually 50/50 with pick-4.

One of the arguments against computer drawings is with the programming very few people see, but abnormalities similar just not as extreme as in TN probably do happen. Currently the digit 7 has appeared more than the digits 2 and 6 combined for th... [ More ]

Don't worry, as far as the lottery goes ...and as far as we players are concerned......... it's just a measure of a bunch of existing data by someone trying toaudit the lottery game for true results. Nothing to do with anything future. Unless they were to leave it with some sort of bias variances. LOL

Computer draws ....would be the biggest target for such a measure as far as we are concerned here.

I think the State Games should post the audit results of those computer draws on the... [ More ]

What is standard deviation

One of my friends here on LP has talked to me about using standard deviation test a couple of times before on the computer draws.

Has anyone here ever done testing on any of those perverted computer drawn games?

Is that how they finally caught the Tenn crowd with their pants down, or was it all the LP members emailing the press that alerted the public
