I have been playing the Lottery for many years and I am convinced that I cannot win because the results are fixed.

All of the State Lottery games played in this country are supervised by independent auditing firms to make sure that the results are not unfairly influenced. The Lottery spends a lot of money keeping things on the up and up because any bad publicity regarding a "fix" would hurt them very much. There have been a few isolated incidents of alleged tampering in the last twenty years, but for the most part things are run cleanly. However, since the numbers are drawn by a mechanical machine, each machine used does influence the outcome of the games. We may be able to put a man on the moon but we cannot build a perfect Lottery selection machine. That's why the various states use several different selection machines and different sets of balls in either a predetermined or random rotation. Some states have moved to computer selected numbers, but the algorithms used in the random selection process are very suspect. Over the years we have recorded thousand of hours of live Lottery drawings in order to study the specific characteristics of specific selection machines, and we have learned a great deal from this. For many years we actually published a listing of which machines the New York State Lottery would be using for each of the upcoming weeks drawings, and made our selections based on the individual characteristics of these particular machines. When it comes to beating the games, Steve Player leaves no stone unturned!
