Picking Winning Lottery Numbers
by Lucky JimIn theory the lottery numbers are chosen randomly by the chaotic bouncing of balls in the machines. But the statistics for the winning balls show some balls are more common than others. For example, in the National Lottery, ball #43 came up in 21% of draws yet ball #16 only came up 6% of the time.
So what do you think? Is there some bias involved, or are the lottery balls drawn purely randomly?
Does this take into accounting for streaks? Essentially in a group of set principals, each principal has an equivalent chance of success if measured over a period of time. If, however, we shorten the factor of time, one principal could have a streak of successes. Being that there is a set number of principals, for one to have a streak of successes, then at least one must fall behind in its number of random successes.
Of course, it could just be the physical properties of the balls being used in the machine, unless they change out the balls on a regular basis.
It is based on all the draws so far. I guess what we are seeing is lucky streaks. I don't think they change the balls but they have several ball sets and various machines that may be used to pick the balls.
