Are POWERBALL QUICK PICK RNGs like Las Vegas slot machines?

The reason I ask is the old lady that won the 590 million was allowed ahead of another woman in line who also bought tickets.

If it is a true RNG, the numbers generated one second wouldn't be the same the next second, correct? The time it took to have the conversation letting her break in line changed the outcome of the quick picks, at least hopefully this is the case for the polite woman

It's always these old ppl that won

What a stretch

What a stretch

I never knew kids could cost you 600 million dollars

do you think the granny can share with the unfortunate couple that let her skip them in the line? i think so -- or rather -- i hope so.

[Mikail]

The winner should share some winnings with the lady.

[ChalkyDog]

Whatever, the fact that she won this means 600 million is up for grabs for someone with a good lawyer.

I dont believe at all that the same numbers would have shown up for hte second lady. I mean she would have bought hers at a slightly different time.

And did that lady buy quick picks or pick her own numbers like I do

[Itsamazing777]

No she wouldn't have won, HOWEVER, since she allowed the old lady to get her numbers at that second, she did help her.

[Fishhead]

yes

that is why the the lady put the story out, don't you think ?

[BigDaddy]

did someone open the door for her on the way in the store?

that could have happened

should she throw some that persons way as well

it most likely got her in the store faster.

maybe the clerk had to ask her again what she wanted since most old people you ask twice when they talk to you

penetrate she should just give it all away.

[ChalkyDog]

She's gonna die. Soon. Once that happen, it's a free-for-all, by anyone with a potential interest - no matter how ridiculous. It's simply too much.

[mynameismud]

pretty much. quick picks change by the milliseconds. no reason to believe that the woman who let the winner cut in line would have won.

You'd hope so but the fact that the old bag cut in line in the first place basically shows what the lady would do.
