I'm Going to Play Some Number at the Lotto
The Lotto Game is a really popular gambling game in Italy, run by the state itself. As in all good gambling game: you, the player, can win a lot of money while who is running the game (the Italian state in our case) will win a lot of money for sure, no matter what.
Anyhow, to the facts, it's a well-known folklore that people win playing Lotto FOR SURE by playing numbers told while dreaming by parents, friends, kitties, whatever, ... As a scientist, I've no reason not to trust this folklore, why should I?
As a strange coincidence (another fact that strongly hints I HAVE TO PLAY), this night I had a dream (well, it was more this morning while reading the planet, but it doesn't really matter..., folklore is folklore!). There were a lot, really a lot of people whispering this to my ears:
09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0
well, ok, they aren't in decimal notation, and they aren't even comprised between 1 and 90, ... but what would you expect from a bunch of geeks??? They are probably trying to exploit some overflow in the hands of the lotto extractor or something like that...
But I won't desist, I'll play those number!
Open questions:
-
on which wheel(s) should I play the numbers?
-
how should I handle overflowed numbers? throw them away? modulo 89 operations + 1?
any proficient Lotto player to answer them around?
