It's all fixed. They have in their computers the numbers we all pick each time and they just select other numbers, until they feel like giving something away to look honest.
One day, you wait. The biggest scam in history will be revealed!
You heard it hear first.
The large lotteries are not fixed, smaller lotteries like Keno, Pick4
might be subject to some manipulation as it would be possible for a wealthy player to wager large amounts and actually make a profit consistently ( by playing a large number of combos that cover a good % of the board, losing very little when he loses, and staying in the game until he hits). However, this is just my belief, no hard evidence to back this theory.
With the larger lotteries I read somewhere the Lotto Commission may employ different machines to draw numbers - the theory is that some machines yield friendlier combos than others.
The odds of winning the large lotteries are astronomical ( it's best to avoid playing these unless as part of a play group to share the risk) . If you want to have fun playing the Lottery
with a fighting chance to win a bit of money just stick to the smaller lotteries (ONT 49, Keno, Picks 3 etc) like some of us.
This year I have a nice profit on Keno and ONT49 already, and the tickets don't cost as much.
