"Also do you guys find it ironic that their are only 1000 combinations for the pick three but yet triple digits and quadruple numbers are rarely drawn."
"Irony" is when triples hit in consecutive drawings and only 1/3 of the winners played triples in the next drawing. Not disputing your "facts", but I wouldn't define four triples hitting in KY in the month of July as "rarely drawn".
"Don't you think if you have two games per day for seven days a week, fourteen drawings a week, for three hundred and sixty five days a year you would at least see those type of patterns."
Doing the math, in everyone of those 730 drawings there were 990 possible non-triples so no, I'm not surprised if less than seven triples were drawn. And believe it or not, the odds against a triple being drawn are the same as any other group of ten three digit numbers.
Looking at the results, we concluded in this thread because some groups of ten three digit numbers were drawn more than probability, in the future other groups will be drawn more. We're talking about groups of 28 MM numbers but the results are the same.
"In addition, don't you also find it a little "ponzi" that never in the history of the <snip> where drawings like 2-4-6-8-10-...Whole and even even or chronological numbers like 1-2-3-4-5-6 has never been drawn? "
There are 54 Powerball combos with five consecutive numbers so on average five consecutive numbers should be drawn once out of every 95,438 drawings. Come back in 918 years and we'll start a conspiracy thread.
"Also, how is it possible that you can get the same pattern of numbers for the pick three/four, but yet cannot never get the same pattern of numbers for PowerBall, Mega or State games?"
Just a wild guess, but maybe it's because a pick-3 game has 1000 possible outcomes and PB has 5,153,633?
"If the lottery isn't rigged why do THEY need to do "pretest drawings?" My thing is this if they wanna pretest the balls to make sure the machine is properly functioning just USE blank BALLS!"
I believe part of the test is to check for a bias within a set of balls that may or may not be used for the actual drawing. It would really be ironic if a lottery takes your suggestion and one of the blank balls shows up during the real live drawing.
