Lottery Tools - Truths to Lies

Lottery Tools

Lottery Number AdvisorIn the last post, Lottery Tools - The Computer Age I talked about the enormous impact that the technological advances of the last 30 years have had on our society; specifically the computer. In this post, let’s examine how this modern computer marvel forces modern man to question and reexamine ancestral truths and beliefs.

In lotteries of yesteryear, the chances of Winning the Lottery were the same for everyone (at least if the game was fair). But, to continue with this belief is simply a failure to realize our place in history. Only a hermit would be unaware of the impact that computers have had on our lives. Even if we ignore the visible and obvious improvements, the sheer quantity of mans knowledge doubles every 5 years! That means that in the next five years of your life, mankind will accumulate as much new knowledge as presently exists in the world today! Even though it is impossible for one person to truly comprehend this, stop reading for a moment or two and attempt to contemplate the implications.

The advent of the enormous computer power that we have at our disposal today has caused many previously accepted truths and beliefs to become modern myths and legends. We can do today, what our ancestors knew was impossible. We can think about things today, that our ancestors would have considered folly. We can imagine things today, what our ancestors would have considered to be lunacy.

So, for all of us today, it’s time to take another look at the lottery. It’s time to question previously held beliefs and put them to the test. That’s what Lottery Software like LONA™, your Lottery Number Advisor, does and that’s what I do on Lotto Blog.

Lottery Tools - The Computer Age

Lottery Number AdvisorThe first record of a Lottery game was around 200 BC, during the Han Dynasty in China. At various times throughout history, lotteries were used as a means of raising money for defense or to fund a war effort. In fact, the Continental Congress used a lottery to raise funds to fight the Revolutionary War back in 1776. In every case, as long as the game was fair, every player had the same chance of winning. But, historically, the games weren’t always fair. As a result of this checkered past, lotteries were outlawed in the US for many years. Then in 1964, New Hampshire created the first lottery of the 20th century. This begins, what has been called, the modern era of the lottery.

Lotteries have now become so popular that they have spread around the world to nearly every country. People the world over love the lottery and ticket sales number in the Billions each year. And with this growth, we’ve witnessed a cultural phenomenon. Historically, cultural changes evolved slowly over centuries. But, no longer. Within the span of one lifetime, the world has gone from no computers to nearly everybody having access to a PC. This has serious implications for our society overall, but my focus is the lottery.

Some people still rely on their reasoned beliefs that were formed before computer power was available to them. Many old well reasoned ideas and beliefs, have not kept pace with the rapid advance of technology. Many old beliefs have become myth and fiction. Old truths have transitioned to lies, cultivated by misconceptions and misunderstandings. Old ideas and thinking die hard. It’s time to reevaluate the validity of old beliefs in the revealing light of the computer age.

In the old days, no one had access to a computer, but, today, your PC has more computing power than an IBM 360 mainframe computer had in 1965. It would be simply naive to assume that a computer and some good Lottery Tools could not shed some light on our favorite, mathematically rich pastime; the lottery.

That’s the topic of my next post.
