Many years ago, when the State Lottern Numbers Game started up here, I
noticed that doubles were coming up a lot... like 4662. I was utterly
convinced they were overrepresented.
However, being cheap and sane, I decided to test the theory before
spending $$. I collected ALL the numbers for a year

Lucky for me! I was 1A when the first lottery was held. The numbers on
each side of my birthday came up in the low teens. Mine came up well over
350. I ceased to worry about the Draft at that moment.

What he has discovered, with the aid of a spreadsheet, is that when the 6
winning numbers are announced, they usually sum to a number somewhere in the
range 130 to 170. Very rarely is the sum very low or very high.
Gail Howard has written books and 'wheels' on this system.

There was an inequality in the Vietnam draft lottery.

Hi Scott:
You can use a noise diode followed by a bias removal circuit to get true
random numbers in a much simpler way.

Went to a talk about Monte Carlo methods at MIT sometime before 1955.
A rack full of equipment and a scintillation counter (maybe two)
generated the randomness. Have three big scintillation counters

The last time I checked in any depth the schematics for the SIGTOT master tape
generator were missing. The best speculation I have seen is that it was
indeed an analog (electron multiplier photodiode) based setup. Of course that's
not provable any more ...
It is indeed a leap from that
