But then though, I personally will chose to keep numbers instead of allowing machines to chose a number for me, and this is because I do not trust anybody or system, the machine might as well be dishing out numbers that will not play at the end of the day.
So, it is practically better to keep your own numbers than having to constantly blame the machine for choosing a wrong numbers for you.
the machine will not decide who will win though. in the Philippines, the lottery is decided by the air-mix machine to pick the numbers which people will not see its rigged. unlike those scratch-off tickets where they could just not allow anyone to win no matter how many tickets are bought. its just them deciding how much a ticket could win.
still, people are addicted to this lottery chasing their dreams to finally get out of poverty. i didn't even know anyone really won except for the rumors that this lottery is used for laundering officials.
