How does the computerized Random Number Generator work?
A.The Random Number Generator (RNG) is a computer program in a stand alone machine used to draw winning Hoosier Lottery draw game numbers. The RNG spins numbers at high speeds, stopping on each individual digit with the push of a button, similar to slot machine technology. The RNG is not connected in any way to any other computer system. The RNG’s statistical randomness is certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) which is a well respected and internationally known company. As part of the certification, codes are embedded in the RNG that will recognize and alert the Hoosier Lottery and its auditors of any attempted alteration of the software. For additional security, all drawing procedures are overseen by Hoosier Lottery security and witnessed by the independent audit firm, Deloitte & Touche.
