The NFL or the NBA maybe but not lotteries.

What do you mean maybe? its all been exposed. the winners of the bigjackpots are all actors. learn numerology

Numerology has nothing in common with lotteries. You might keep seeing something like the same three letters on license plates, say a d f, which is 1 4 6 in numerology but playing that and winning is still luck 🍀

"Random enough" was my statement. Weather does not matter as they do not publish this data in the context of the drawing, AND PA uses PRNG in day games and Ball machines at night. Ball machines have test draws, which they also do not publish. Anything not obtainable is just that, not obtainable. If weather played a role, there would be some sort of seasonality present in the data, which is not there when looking with SARIMA. Ball weights don't matter to their day games.

The only relevant data is what they publish. I am not trying to model their entire environment, just trying to make a better guess as to what the next draw will be. If you have access to such data and are using it to win, then congrats!

Have an EXCELlent day!

When Donald Trump says something, it's often a lie. When his statement contains the word "fraud", it's virtually guaranteed to be a lie.

??? Why would there be seasonality for the weather inside the draw room?

Have you seen something that proves that the temperature or barometric pressure or isobars and isotherms have no impact on the draw? What about humidity or the electric/ electrostatic variables (in the drawing room) have you seen something that proves they don't impact ball drawings?

What about the small variations in gravity where the machine is placed?

What about oscillations and vibrations in the building or equipment.

There are all kinds of variables that may impact the ball draws.

But you did say "random enough" and I will add to that "for someone who doesn't have all the data"

Who knows how random they actually are? I suppose they are random enough for people who don't ponder how to tease the data out of the total system.

No, you need to prove to us that barometric pressure, gravitational fluctuations, etc. affect which balls get drawn.

I eagerly await the proof of such a ridiculous claim.

Weather outside determines whether the HVAC system is pushing cold or warm air inside the building. IF the temperature in the room had anything to do with the draws, then it stands to reason that the outside temps would affect the inside temps. But why worry about data that is not available? Even if you could somehow get all of that unavailable data and exactly model their physical setup, you would not be able to duplicate their results.

Well neither you nor I know that with confidence.

Unless we have all the data there is no way to say with 100% confidence that the draws are indeed random.

You said "Random enough" but you don't know that for 100% confidence because you don't have all the data

Actually, yes I did study physics. We never covered the effect of the weather on a mechanical ball drawing machine that operates indoors. Even if it was outside, it still wouldn't matter. Why did we skip over that important chapter, you ask? Because there is none!

A claim like that is even more absurd than saying that lottery officials rig every single drawing. The latter is possible, and it has happened. But there is no evidence to suggest that it happens all the time. But the weather? Really? Please explain to us how that could possibly matter.

I play the Atlantic 49. In Canada. Which is different then the Lotto 649. The Atlantic 49. Only costs,$1.00 to buy. So it is a challenging game. But I like to attempt it anyway.

I never said anywhere that the lottery is rigged so I don't know why you are coming at me with that.

As far as the weather impacting the drawings the relative humidity can impact the medium the balls are colliding in plus there are differences in wet versus dry friction just as one example. The barometric pressure impacts the drawings in how much force is on the balls from the atmosphere. The temperature impacts both how much water can be in the air plus how the air rises. I can go on if you are more specific.

Any number of system inputs impact the draw but just studying the statistics at the output doesn't necessarily tell you that the system is random.

I have no idea if you had labs when you studied the physics of collisions or how deeply your course went into them but yah, there are a number of things that affect the forces and how they may impede or accelerate the kinetics of the draw.

All of these things you mention are what makes the draws random!

If they weren't random, you would see all numbers drawn with regularity. Because they are random, some numbers don't get drawn for many days/weeks. That's the way random works.
