This is why you must have SOURCE CODE To validate any system like this

But that statement is a bit misleading. He installed the flaw in the generation software, and it was triggered on the specific dates.

He knew the pattern for those dates, and that means, the numbers weren’t random, and therefore predictable by him.

People need to understand that -— he didn’t write code that ran on a local computer that predicted great numbers for those dates, or at least not without the counterpart code he installed in the generators.

I think the lottery as currently implemented can be predicted, but you will need your own quite advanced quantum computer to do so. Physics is very deterministic, unless you go to the quantum level, then physics itself becomes a lottery.

Yep. Fraud. No refunds for the millions who played.

Class action lawsuit in the making right there.

And I don’t think these are the only ones who’ve ever rigged (or been caught rigging) lottery drawings run by states.

We were discussing that a few days ago. No one believes that disgusting bull s***. Even most Democrats know it’s one big fn fraud. Everyone outside of the mentally ill community knows what’s up, and no doubt half them do as well.

I keep thinking about our guys in WWII who were POW’s and how creative they became by creating havoc whenever possible for their NAZI overlords.

This fraud perfectly fits in with all the other lies they’ve told for years.

Shocking to see it in real-time.

I just can’t believe how many are so willing to buy into all of this stuff. That’s why I say it has to be a sign of the end-times. Mass delusion.

When the strong delusion comes, associated with the Antichrist, it is GOD Who sends the delusion. And these people willing believe any and all of these lies.

Now, the world is not there. YET.

But look at these people around us. I’ve talked to some of them. A complete waste of time.


2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 King James Version

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Is it any more complicated than the basic rnd() function?

IIRC someone referred to John Von Neumann and said “he was not human, of course”.

Seems I read that in tech school back in the 1980’s.

About the same time I read about J. Presper Eckert.

They found the ping pong balls had differing weights that caused them to appear in predictable order.

“I think the lottery as currently implemented can be predicted, but you will need your own quite advanced quantum computer to do so. Physics is very deterministic,”

How do you determine how many times they execute the algorithm?

The article clearly states:

Investigators say Tipton installed code that let the computers work as should on all but three days of the year — May 27, Nov. 22 and Dec. 29 — when they would produce predictable numbers if the drawings occurred on Wednesdays or Saturdays after 8 p.m.

It last worked on:
May 27, 2017 when it fell on a Sat.
May 27, 2020 when it fell on a Wed.
Nov. 22, 2014 when it fell on a Sat.
Nov. 22, 2017 when it fell on a Wed.
Dec. 29, 2010 when it fell on a Wed.
Dec. 29, 2018 when it fell on a Sat.

So it would next work on:
May 27, 2023 when it falls on a Sat.
May 27, 2026 when it falls on a Wed.
Nov. 22, 2023 when it falls on a Wed.
Nov. 22, 2025 when it falls on a Sat.
Dec. 29, 2021 when it falls on a Wed.
Dec 29, 2029 when it falls on a Sat.

I remember, years ago in Indiana, a state lottery worker realized that a box of scratch tickets contained million dollar prize and went to some small shop in the bunnies.

He send his nephew to buy all the tickets and voila, got the prize. They gave him (the nephew) the money, but the owner of the shop realized that something stinks here. That somebody he never saw before, came and bought all the tickets and won.
They investigated and both employee and nephew got jail time.
I have never bought scratch ticket since!
