Random Number Generator

Curious how the Lottery chooses their Lotto numbers?

To ensure the fairness and integrity, the Idaho Lottery uses
an industry standard Random Number Generator (RNG).
The RNG is licensed, rigorously tested and approved to
create the winning numbers for the daily Idaho Pick 3 game
and for second-chance drawings, plus big games like the
Idaho $1,000,000 Raffle. The randomness of the RNG is
certified by Gaming Laboratories Inc., a global independent
gaming equipment testing corporation.

The RNG uses a minuscule, trace amount of plutonium to
help generate the numbers. Plutonium decays in a
completely random method. When processed with light
flashes and an independent computer software program,
the RNG will always produce a truly random selection of
numbers within the range programmed. The RNG is the
most accurate method to ensure complete randomness
to any number selection.

Powerball PowerPlay and Mega Millions, which has a live television draw every
Wednesday and Saturday night, does not use a RNG.
