Wow! I didn't see that! I have the latest issue of Stat's but for whatever reason I didn't check Best Sets.....
Yup, I read the article. I'm not surprised the NYL doesn't have the tapes for all of the drawings. They should have them! They probably thought nobody would ever submit a FOIL for them as far back in time as Roy did, so they threw them out. That's my guess anyway.
For those that don't know, "FOIL" stands for Freedom Of Information Law" Lotto Stat's submitted a FOIL request to the NY State Gaming Commission to obtain the video tapes of ten drawing dates when a duplicate set of 5 numbers were drawn. The NY State Gaming Commission responded to Lotto Stat's Foil request that they do not have all of the dates Lotto Stat's requested. They do have a couple of them and agreed to forward those, but any video tapes of drawings prior to August of 2007 are no longer available. G5
As for me personally, I believe the 44 sets of 5 duplicate numbers are legit.
Even though video tapes of any drawing prior to August 2007 are not available, remember just as Gretchen Dizer says just before the numbers are drawn, that "the drawing is being observed by" an independent auditor. The NY Lottery used to use KPMG as their auditor, but now it's "Mercadien PC".
KPMG is/was part of Peat Marwick, which was/is a third party auditing firm that verifies any business's financial books. The independent auditor stakes it's reputation on the fact that when they say somebody's financial statements are accurate, the books are indeed accurate and correct. Institutional investor's sometimes base their investment decisions on what the auditor says. That's why Arthur Anderson, a "Big Five" independent auditor, went out of business, because it was they that verified Enron's financial statements as being legitimate. In 2002 Anderson was found guilty of criminal charges related to their firms auditing of Enron. As a result Anderson voluntarily surrendered their license to practice as a Certified Public Accountant. It was a multi-million dollar mistake on their part, as Anderson used to be a multi-million dollar corporation which today no longer exists. So as you can see, independent auditors can and do make mistakes, but I doubt Mercadien PC wants to lose their entire business over some shaky Take5 drawings. And the Lottery wants the public to know the drawings are on the up and up too. If the public lost confidence in The NY State Lottery because they thought the drawings were rigged, sales of ALL lottery tickets would tank! The NY Lottery certainly doesn't want that!. G5

Just to make things interesting, I'm going to test something out. The last 2 fields of numbers that i posted for 5 days each has had about 50% of the numbers drawn. Now what I'm going to do is take the single digits (01,04,06,09) and use them as a power set which would leave me with only 12 numbers to choose from the rest of the field. Which ones to choose? I don't have any kind of data to follow so I'll just put something together just for the heck of it. Remember this is only a test.

Well Mink, since no money was wagered there was no real money won. I used the single digits as key digits and mostly teens and up has shown. With tonights draw, 50% of the field of 16 once again showed.

The Lottery people have done it again - they looked at this board and seen my numbers (because it's all about me:) and said,"Lets not pick those numbers let's pick Golgo13 instead cause he didn't play them" Givefive hope you were one of the 209. Playing same numbers tonight.
Congratulations to all winners. Everyone I hope your day is good.
