What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
What about the question of pseudo-random vs [attempted] truly-random computerized drawings? The report-card page doesn't address that.

with computerized drawings you never know 1-2-3-4-5-6 is a real possibility.

Pick 4 Math Help?Reply
Hey Badger, If you were after the math you got your answer, but if you think that combo is ripe for the pickin' have you taken into consideration the method of drawing has changed? Didn't everything go to computerized drawings some time back? If so, I wouldn't keep any data before the change was made. It would be like mixing apples and oranges. Best of Luck, Bryan :)

what does a prediction formula look like?Reply
I have been thinking, would it not be easier to find a prediction formula for a computerized drawing rather than a drawing with real balls? I am sure that the states that run computerized drawings do everything to keep that from happening, but under it all, there will be a pattern.One time I was taking an attention test, which I had to sit at a computer and look at a black screen. Everyime it flashed I was to click this button. I was told that there was no pattern and it was completely random. O

Chi-square
The other day I had the good fortune to hit 5 out of 6 numbers in a local Lotto game. I had to go to the local Lottery office to pick up my winnings (had to sign paper work for taxes) While I was there they were minutes from conducting the midday drawing, I ask if it would be ok for me to watch. They said it would be fine. They proceeded to tell me all the in's and out's of the drawing and the procedures they use to conduct the drawing. The one thing that popped up several times was

I need the math facts for 2 gamesReply
Hi, Any argument of computerized vs ball drawings is mute. The fact is, you will have to deal with the game as it is run. It is simply a matter if you can find a weakness in the game of choice. Best of luck

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
The correct answer should be D) None of the above. --- No. Mathematics will never be able to predict a (truly) random occurance. In the example that follows here, if you have 102 known drawings, and use the middle 100 to derive any formula which can predict the first or last number drawn, you will never find it. Use any range of numbers. Use 100,000,002 random drawings. Exclude the first and last and use only the middle 100 million for your formula to look forward or backward. You will not

There is no Math when it come to winning.Reply
O.k., first just let me say that I don't mean to offend anyone, even though I know I will. Everyone has their own opinion and their right to it. In Wisconsin Pick 3, 000, 001, and 002 (totals 0, 1, and 2) have won. Whether or not anyone actually had those tickets, I don't know and don't care since I didn't. I do find all the number systems and mathematics on this site quite interesting and have spent some time trying to crack the lottery code. Yes you can see patterns in past draws, times of the

How do I prove my state lottery's CGNs are fixed?Reply
Hi, 1- How about first proving the Null Hypothesis: that they are not fixed? Can you sooner prove (mathematically) that they are not fixed? If you cannot, then you have proven that they are indeed fixed . 2- I can give you a non-mathematical way: find an ethical way to examine the software packages of states who purchase these. I believe you would probably discover that states with computerized lotteries use super computers to run software that can run a set of pre-determined combinations
