Do lottery statistic softwares really can make you win at lottery?

The only way to win at gambling is to put your money down in positive expectation circumstances.  The lottery is only profitable if the prize is larger than the price of a ticket * the chances of winning.  If the odds of winning are 1 in 1 million, wait until the prize is $1M before you buy a ticket.  Of course you should also consider the fact that more than 30% will go back to the state in taxes.  FYI - Powerball has to hit $340M for it to be profitable.  Assuming you don't have to split it, that is.\n\nIn short, don't listen to any systems - they only make money for the people who sell them to you.  If they actually worked, wouldn't those people be retired millionaires by now?  Save your cash and plop down $1 when the jackpot is high enough with the satisfaction that for once you have a slight edge.

It's impossible to know.  There is a chance, but you'll probably win the lottery first.

It's a scam.  Pay no attention to it.\nIf you didn't enter a contest or buy a lottery ticket, how do you expect to win it?

Forget it. Best chance you have is the lottery.

Are you kidding??! Of course it's not real. How can you win a lottery you never entered? Playing overseas lotteries is against the law anyway.

There is a way, but it would require that you have infinite resources in order to have 100% assured success.   \n\nWhen betting randomly, over time, you'll always loose - the Roulette wheel, as stated previously, has a statistical bias towards the house, so that the casino makes money.  \n\nHowever.  There is a betting system, known as the 'Margingale System', in which you can recoup your losses.  \n\nIt's pretty simple, really.  First, pick some number on the roulette table.  Bet some small amount.  You'll probably loose, but that's okay.  Next, bet on the SAME number, but double your bet.  Again, you'll probably loose.  Continue to do this - bet on the same number, and double your bet every time.  Eventually, your number will come up (heh), and in THAT itteration, you'll win back all of your previous losses (since you've been continuously doubling your bet), as well as a little more.  \n\nAn alternative scheme uses the fibbonacci sequence.  Fibbonacci numbers are generated by starting with 1, adding the previous two numbers in the sequence to get the next number.  the first few numbers: \n\n0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987\n\nOf course, in real life, this doesn't tend to work very well, since doubling numbers in this manner (or even using the slightly more efficent fibbonacci progressive bet) would require that you have an incredibly large sum of money to cover your losses.   Furthermore, every casino I've ever been in has a maximum bet on the roulette table, which throws a monkey wrench into this plan.

Progressive jackpots work just like any other gambling event. It is slightly more difficult to find the expectation for a progressive jackpot since it constantly changes. There is a break-even point for progressives when it makes sense to play that particular game. Unfortunately, players don't usually know the actual odds to a slot machine so it is impossible to calculate the actual break-even point.\nUnlike many other gambling games, it is possible to systematically make money on a progressive slot machine by playing only when you have good odds. This is not a technique applicable to the casual gambler.

Have you checked the odds on these things?  The reason lotteries work is because the person selling the tickets makes money off the person buying the tickets.  Why do you suppose this is?  It's because you will [probably] have to spend more money buying enough tickets to beat the odds than you will actually get from them if you win.

Sociologists have actually done studies to figure just such things out.  Not the lottery scams in particular, but to determine why people gamble on games with such terrible odds.  It's called the Cinderella Syndrome, the idea of getting rich over night.  It's what makes Vegas and Atlantic City go 'round.  That, and the astonishing level of naivete and down right ignorance around the world.

This is a cool question. The main idea is to check how random a random number generator really is.\n\nA random number generator is a system, usually involving a computer which creates a list of random numbers. All random number generators are really pseudo-random, which just means that unless there is some bizzare input, like static from a radio, the list of numbers is predictable and therefore not really random.\n\nFor example an example of a simple random number generator is one of a pair of dice. The die will always show a number from 1 to 6. If you wrote down zillions of rolls of the die, and made a bar chart, a really fair die would show equal length bars for each number. This is an example of an Statistical Evaluation. Other evaluations might be to show what  the bar chart curve looks like (bell curve etc.), or the average etc.\n\nFair random number generators are important for gambling machines, state lotteries, scientific testing, and mathematics.\n\nThe most famous multiplicative linear congruential generator was RANDU invented by IBM in 1968. By multiplying numbers together one after another using modulo arithmetic (like the way a clock repeats every 12 hours) based on a starting number or SEED, it was a simple way to get numbers. Unfortunately, statistical tests showed it was way off. The numbers fell into patterns which were not random.
