When choosing Loto numbers I will have quirks such as avoiding an
unlucky number which will tilt the advantage towards the objective
impartiality of the Lotto bouncing balls. Could Linux help?
I only bet the minimum amount which means I can not buy a lucky dip
ticket with the numbers chosen for me at random.
My solution;
For Lotto numbers
shuf --input-range=1-40 --head-count=6 | sort -n
For Powerball numbers
shuf --input-range=1-10 --head-count=4
Am I writing this from the deck of a super yacht? No, but Linux gives me
randomness which evens up the odds a little bit.
Remember the more you gamble the arithmetic grinds you into dust.
