Green ball foolishness sounds 100% correct. Nc Lottery is totally rigggggggggggeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddd The proof is in the pudding with the numbers that come out. I advise all of you to go look at the statistics as evidence. What Nc does is set it up to where it’s not completely obvious but if you do research you will notice.
Example 1 - the lead off number
1,2,3,4 vs 6,7,8,9. Now statistically the odds of getting a 1,2,3 or 4 as the lead off number is 40% and getting 6,7,8 or 9 is also 40% however at the end of the year since 2014 6,7,8,9 comes about 50 times more per year or about 6.5% more. Random is 1-3% maximum not 6.5%. Also the reason 6,7,8,9 comes out more is because those tend to be the lower paying numbers. If a number has digit 1 or 2 in it it’s automatically a birthday except 100 and 200 and I find most people that play pick 3 at least play their birthday.
Example 2- Lower paying numbers
Everybody loves trips. Sad part is we have only had 16 triples since January 2014 compared to our neighbor South Carolina who’s had 18 with one less draw every week and has no promotional extra draws. 223,323,305, and numbers that are popular and high paying don’t come out enough. We get a green ball promotion that doubles the payout and out of 6 green balls the only payout that was ok was when 527 played.
If you want to win more I advise you start playing your 843’s, 956’s,784’s and 489’s the b.s numbers. Its ashamed Nc does this to us. Thankfully I play online which pays 900-1 so I’m profitable but if I played in the stores still I would have a huge hole in my pocket.
