Will You Be the Next Millionaire?

CSEF · 2006 Mathematics & Software

Kalvin Huang · Gabrielino High School, San Gabriel

Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective was to see if the lottery numbers are predictable. Methods/Materials The material I used for my project was the computer program QBASIC, that I used to create my programs, and Microsoft Exell, used to create my graphs. My first program is designed to compare the numbers that the computer draws with the numbers that I pick. My second program is designed to run a lottery program a certain amount of time and display the accumulated total of each number#s appearance. Results The results for my project was that the lottery numbers are not predictable. The frequency for each numbers appearance is not predictable. Different psychologist gave different response to why people gamble with chances so small. Conclusions/Discussion My hypothesis was correct, "The lottery numberse are not predictable." Hopefully, this project will benefit all the people that buy lottery tickets.

Summary statement

Are the lottery numbers predictable?
