Lottery Ball Factoid! |
| |
If any ball is lighter than the rest it has the potential of being selected by the lottery machine with more frequency than the other balls! That's a pretty telling statement – isn't it? In most lab tests conducted on lottery balls, they are weighed against each other so that all balls weigh the same. In doing so, each lottery ball should have the same opportunity of being drawn. |

| Ensuring Randomness. |
| |
We believe lottery commissions do their best to ensure that all lottery ball sets fall within a tolerance of weight in order to be used in a state's drawing. If the set passes lab testing, a Lottery Official seals the set for use in lottery drawings. Pretty simple huh? No room for errors, right? |

|
| What does this mean to you? |
| |
What if there was human error in testing or a problem with the calibration of the high tech machines used to measure these lottery balls? Human error or a change in the lottery ball's physical characteristics (weight/balance/sphere changes) after the approved seal may come into play. |

Imperfections. |
| |
Lottery balls having an imperfection or a change in weight may be drawn more frequently -- we've already brought this to your attention! Our algorithm factors in trends of recent lottery drawings in case there are inconsistencies in the lottery balls used by a state's lottery commission. Are we saying this happens all the time? or some of the time? We're not exactly sure, but we can say there's room for error. Think about it! |
