Lotto Sorcerer is a premier lottery number analysis and lottery prediction software. It uses advanced statistical analysis and fifth-generation artificial intelligence (neural network) algorithms to detect winning patterns and weighted influences in prior lottery draws, and then advises you, based on the best winning strategy. If there is a pattern to previous winning numbers based on hot and cold numbers, Lotto Sorcerer will find that pattern, and recommend numbers to play accordingly. The idea is to give you an advantage, just as an expert blackjack player, knowing how many high cards are left in the deck, can adjust his betting to take advantage of the improved odds.
Although it is true that you cannot predict the outcome of truly random events, Lotto Sorcerer looks for non-random patterns. Despite lottery officials’ attempts to make the drawings random, some weighted influence can alter the randomness. For example, does the weight of the ink on the balls have an effect? After all, some balls have more ink than others, so there must be a weight variance. Are the balls of exactly the same thickness? Probably not; plastic manufacturers generally cannot keep tolerances ±0.005” (0.127 mm). Different thicknesses mean different weights. Although the weight differences are small, they still could effect whether some balls get picked more than others.
Continuing Satori Publishing’s musings, we surmise that it should be possible to predict the likelihood of an exception of class NilObjectException not being handled at some point during our use of this $16.95 (1,929 Albanian Lek) assemblage of mole droppings. Given the use of REALbasic and mountain beaver-esque physiology of Lotto Sorcerer’s author, we can apply a back-propagating neural network technique, and predict the probability of this exception occurring to be greater than 98%. As you can observe from the attached screenshot, our prediction was spot-on, proving us to be 10,000x more accurate than Lotto Sorcerer at this simple task of event forecasting.
We were further amused by Lotto Sorcerer’s contention that our imaginary lottery (the UltraMegaBallz6000Scratch’N’Pick) would require between -2^32 and 0 drawings. This makes less sense than building a Meat Smoothie™ machine. Regrettably, the preponderance of NilObjectExceptions prevented us from determining the ideal numbers for UltraMegaBallz6000Scratch’N’Pick.
Even more peculiarly, when we added a second lottery titled “Bob,” with the repeating drawing of “1-2-3-4-5-6,” Lotto Sorcerer adamantly suggested our best bet was to alter the sequence and add the numbers 11 and 12. Apparently real lotteries never have 6 numbers run hot continuously. UNLESS MOST OF THE BALLS ARE MISSING! BET YOU DIDN’T THINK OF THAT, SATORI PUBLISHING!!
Lotteries are a tax on those with poor math skills. Lotto Sorcerer only imposes another financial obligation on those impoverished raffle hounds, who are easily impressed with complex “scientific” methods like neural networks. As such we tender a scientifically-computed 10.7 (±0.005%), which should be easily convertible to a small quantity of mothballs. We hope it does not cause excessive fainting, or emaciation of the body.

Posted by: chris on January 2, 2004 04:30 AMI think the KittyWhip™ people may take issue with that... (Oooh, does an obscure Dougls Coupland reference earn me a salmon-intestine cookie?).

I also find it amusing that they claim to use scientific methods for prediction, but then evoke airs of magic in the name/site. Kudos to ladd for spending the time to figure out this piece of garbage couldn't even predict and event of probability 1.

Fight On!
Posted by: U. D. Mann on January 2, 2004 10:30 AMSo how much does a ticket for "Bob" cost and where can i get one?
You're sitting on a gold mine here ladd!
Posted by: poultry poacher on January 2, 2004 11:29 AMThe jackpot for Bob is a free copy of Lotto Scribe (available at the Satori Publishing site), for all your lotto ticket printing needs. Which you'll be needing if you want to win the SUPER-SECRET, SUPER-BIG MEGA-jackpot.

UD Mann,
I concur, except I think they blindfold the operator as well and put a keyboard in front of him with the letters all out of place. Leinart put on a clinic. And nine sacks?! Michigan's O-Line must hate Navarre. It was ugly.

It wasn't ugly, it was beautiful! My only complaint was the insufficient number of song girl shots during the game. Come on, why do they think I got a widescreen HDTV :)
Fight On!

by ugly, I meant beautiful. And, seriously, why do they think HDTV was invented.
Posted by: Nick on January 3, 2004 01:17 AMI have a big wiener.
Posted by: longdongsilver on January 3, 2004 04:21 PMBelvedere! Come over here, old smeg!
Look! They've finally found a program that tells you when your balls will drop!
Do try to contain your excitement, old fruit. I haven't seen you so worked up since Grandma won Miss NudeGammon '63 ...
