Got an answer today from the Wisconsin lottery. They said one computer is used for the daily pick 3 and pick 5. And then a second machine is used for Badger 5 and Supercash. That's the answer I was hoping for. If my new strategy works and I hit the jackpot, I'll post it on this thread.

They only question that comes up in my mind is, which numbers will be drawn next

I saw the questions as. Do they randomly select a rng computer for the night's drawings, or per draw?

Having gone round and round asking Florida for a list of what ballset was used per draw, a list of which machine was used for each draw should answer the question. Not that it appears to make the slighest difference not knowing what machine they intend to use next.

They did answer you question. Does it help if the words are in a slightly different order?

[We] have 3 RNG computers. The computers for the drawings are randomly selected.

All other Wisconsin Lottery games are drawn using a Random Number Generator (RNG). A RNG is a computer with the sole purpose of picking random numbers. It is not connected to any outside line or to the Lottery gaming system. These drawing are not televised. However, videotapes of the drawings are available for public review for 180 days following the drawing.

Maybe you could ask for a copy of a few draws and get some information.

Lotteries are like malicious genies that intentionally interpret questions as misdirectionally as possible. Add to that the fear they may give something useful away, and the problem just grows.

In my opinion. Based on their reply to your question: Any of the three computers may be selected, so like a three sided coin flip, the same machine may be used multiple times in a row, or not used multiple times in a row and anything inbetween.

Maybe they are training their robot replacement to select one.

What do they use to Randomly Select which RNG Computer to use? Another RNG Computer

That reply doesn't tell me if they use one computer for both drawings or they use two different computers.

They said they have 3 RNG computers. And the computers are also randomly selected for the drawings.

I have a new strategy for playing Supercash. I e-mailed the lottery office twice with a simple request. They have two games drawn at 10pm, Badger 5 and Supercash. I wanted to know if both games were drawn from the same RNG computer or two different computers. The first reply I got had nothing to do with my question, so I sent another e-mail and they never replied to that. Is that question so hard to understand
