Not so random then...

Sat Dec 18, 2004 3:09 am

Today I won three lottery tickets in Dice A Roo and had one handed to me in a random event. I went to see the numbers picked for me on these tickets (when you win one, it automatically selects your six numbers), and realised that they're clearly not randomly generated:

Ticket 1 : 3 9 14 17 22 27
Ticket 2 : 2 10 11 19 22 26
Ticket 3 : 3 7 15 19 22 26
Ticket 4 : 2 7 14 17 23 27


Looking down those columns, the numbers are ridiculously similar - I wonder why?

I have a feeling that each space holds a number of 5...

So the first number can be 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 25-30

So it really can't be too random ;) 5 numbers can't help but be similiar

Yeah, I thought so too, but that's a strange way of doing things. I don't see why they're not just randomly chosen.. hmm.
