I suppose I will file this under George Orwell’s quote in Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”. At one point I was keeping track of winning lottery numbers in my state, in hopes that I would find a pattern (as roulette wheels over time tend to show a pattern due to wear on the bearing surfaces and the way the ball is thrown). I didn’t win. I think the original post would give me as good a chance as any other method, if I didn’t know that my odds of winning are only slightly increased if I play than if I don’t.
