Ohio Lottery Pick 4 draws same numbers two drawings in a rowNews Story
Rare occurrence in popular draw game By Kate Northrop Whoever won in an Ohio Lottery Pick 4 drawing last week had a chance to win again using the same numbers, with two drawings in a row producing the same results. Two Pick 4 drawings produced the same number combinations back-to-back in Ohio last week. On Oct. 2, the Ohio Pick 4 evening game drew the numbers 6-9-9-4. Players matching those numbers with a $1 wager in exact order won a $5,000 prize. The very next drawing, the

LOTTERY POST ANNOUNCES NEXT CHAPTER OF WEBSITEReply
Hi Todd Some things to ponder... We need a few improvements for P3 and P4 games: P3: in Inspector, a tool to show the frequency/count of positional pairs, e.g., front, back and split. P4: in Inspector, a tool to show the frequency/count of positional pairs and triads. e.g., front, middle, back and split permutations. Also, it would be good to have an insight tool outside of the existing Combinations Analysis tool and Pairs Analysis tool for Pick 3 and Pick 4 for a game o

$1.6 BILLION: Powerball jackpot sets all-time record as ticket sales surge across the USAReply
The Texas Lottery projected Jackpot analysis says 60% of all combinations will be covered at $1.6B. I am not sure how that % is derived so early (Fri morning). I would say at least 2/3 of all combinations will have been covered by Saturday night. God Bless the winner!

Arizona Lottery pulls second computerized drawing machine over duplicate numbersReply
Like I said, please only show Straight duplicates, drawn within one month for either mid or eve only, or within a 2-week period for both. Box combinations are not duplicates. (They may be for your analysis, but not for checking if a RNG is operating properly in this case.) This is easy, because you said it happens much, much worse in Maryland. Please do not post a bunch a box combinations, sums, or anything other than straight duplicates. The examples I see from you are not duplicates.

Box combinations are not duplicates. Not that there aren't other flaws with the examples posted, but how are box combinations not duplicates if you're looking for evidence that an RNG isn't random enough? Perhaps it's possible to program an RNG's to select a 3 digit number from the 1000 possible numbers, but as the issue with no duplicate digits in Tennessee demonstrated the usual method is to sequentially, and randomly (one hopes), choose 3 single digits. In that case any single digit b

$550 MILLION: Powerball jackpot now more than a half-billion dollarsReply
Excel will do Poisson calculations, but I only use Excel for straightforward stuff. I've never bothered to learn more than the basics, so I just use a simple iterative function that approximates it. I also sometimes apply a little bit of spin, since people playing non-random combinations reduce the number of used combinations a bit below what random probability results in. I already commented on his flawed analysis for a rollover elsewhere. There's definitely a sweet spot in the $400 to $600

Wisconsin Lottery switches to computers to select winning numbersReply

Now that computers are picking the numbers, they do now.If there are any lottery program developers out there reading in on this, you need to revise your probability theory, statistical analysis, and calculated predictions. Computers can only simulate real world conditions; for this, there is a possibility that trends that once ex
