MADISON, Wis. — A woman and her husband, who claims he's developed a formula for lottery picks, have each claimed $350,000 jackpots.
Twice.
Verlyn and Judith Adamson claimed two $350,000 jackpots on Monday because each held a winning ticket in the state SuperCash drawing last Saturday. They didn't mention at the time that they also held two more of the winning tickets.

Maybe, or maybe they have found a clue as to how the state generates their random numbers. If so, they might be able to duplicate the process. Wouldn't that be a hoot. People use computers without knowing exactly how they do the things they do, such as random number generation. If this were true, would the winners have to return their prize money?

Since lotteries use air machines with ping pong balls of all same weight to pick numbers, how could you possibly stumble on a random number generator. :confused:

I'm pretty sure that's just the multistate jackpots that get televised. If they don't televise the drawing, I'd bet they just use a computer.
