Yeah, keep thinking that retards. There's a clear bias towards odd-even split for every lottery draw. Using the process of elimination, you can narrow down winning combination of numbers.

>TFW gambling plebs find out about the RNG bias computer systems have for OOOEEE pairs due to those RNG systems being used to print their lottery tickets

I mean you could've just had 1 lesson in basic computer science RNG functions and you'd be a lot more wiser. Why the fuck is there even a study being done on this instead of looking at the RNG function which generates said numbers?

This reminds me of the paper some medical student wrote about differentials not realizing it was basic mathematics and she thought it was a legitimate new discovery only usable in medicine.

Let's try this in binary.
How many ways can you have only even? 000000.
Only odd? 111111.

Usually when people use math to cheat a lottery they find lotteries where the cost to buy out a decent percentage of all possible number combinations is less than the payout. Say a lottery with a $10million jackpot. There are 3.8million number combinations for the lottery and the tickets cost $1 each. You could spend $3.8million to buy every single combination and get a guaranteed $10million.

The reason Finland has so many Eurojackpot winners is because they use of groups. The last 90 million euro jackpot winner was from a group of 50 people.

There is only one OOOOOO pair but lots of OOOEEE pairs, since the order doesn't matter. You and OP are brainlets who can't figure out that the frequency discrepancy results from differently sized groups. Any specific combination has the same odds as any other.
