  Come on, we're on this site because we want to win the lottery!  And there's no better way to win the lottery than to be able to reliably predict the right number, due to computer glitches.

   So let's force every state to use the same computer-drawing system as Kansas.  And post to LP when you make the switch, so we know what to watch for!

  Talk about travelers...LOL The epitamy of travelers.

  You see....it's the tornadoes that rattle through Kansas, and cause the glitches, seeee?

  Then the tornadoes carry that night's drawing all over the country, and spread the wealth, just like Santa.

  That's a very short-sighted view.  For a good example of how ill-informed it is, maybe you should check out the Indiana (Hoosier) Lottery.  LosingJeff can fill you in on how their computerized drawings produce fewer winners than most states by far, and certainly totally out of proportion of the state population / player base.

  Don't you see?  It's a myth that the RNG will make the drawings more predictable.  On the contrary, it makes it easier for them to make you NOT win.

  I suspect you are just trolling to stir up controversy, because any true lottery fan/player who has researched this topic knows that computerized drawings are the worst-possible drawing method, and is firmly and adamantly against them.

  I have won more via coputerized drawings for pick 3, but it does not mean I necessarily enjoy them, or trust them. I believe balls are much more fair, and draw less suspicion. Plus it is also a lot more fun to watch the balls spinning.

  Check out the thread on 4's gone wild. I found 4 repeating like crazy all month. Ball drawing.
  

  Computers I would bet on to have a glitch more often then balls but your list up  there shows that both machines have a bias big time to certain #'s.

  PP

  Good luck to everyone!!!
