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 or more and did statistical tests, including FFTs on each digit wheel. Bottom line, the numbers were random. It was my PERCEPTION of a pattern that was tricking me. All in, I spent $1 for a ticket to read.
