What is an Automated Draw Machine?
What is the Automated Draw Machine? The Automated Draw Machine is a state-of-the-art computer used to draw winning numbers for Fantasy 5, Daily 3 and Daily Derby. The Automated Draw Machine is a stand alone computer, which means it isn't connected to any other computer system. It looks like a desktop computer. The computer's hard drive cannot be opened without breaking a numbered security seal. Inside the computer, the programs that generate the random numbers are permanently implanted or "burned in" and cannot be altered. You could compare it to trying to alter the information on a compact disk. Tampering in any way with the system, without detection, is not possible.
The California Lottery has purchased three separate Automated Draw Machines, two are used for the daily draws and the third one is used as an off-site backup in the dvent of an emergency. Each day before the draw, a manual capsule draw is conducted to determine which draw device will be used, A or B. Another manual capsule draw is conducted to determine which randomization method is used, one being a mathematical algorithm and the other being a Random Number Generator. The numbers selected from either method are unpredictable and selected in an unbiased manner.
Given this information should I track Mid-Day and Evening Seperate or together? Currently doing all three. Tracking by boxed pairs, Positional Single Digits and Boxed sets ie. triples, consecutives 012, and non-consecutives 369? The picture is not clear at all. ANY ADVISE IS WELCOME.
