- W210503 abstract "Lotteries have been a source of state revenue intermittently through the ages. Modern lotteries, where desktop computers in widespread retail outlets can process sales swiftly and efficiently, are seen as a means of extending the tax base without offending voters. The science of statistics is relevant to lotteries in at least four ways. The prize structure of a lottery might be set to maximize revenue. This involves a balance between the proportion of stake money returned to gamblers, its distribution among several prize levels, the expenses of running the lottery, and the tax take. Lotteries are usually based around “select X numbers from this list of Y numbers,” with the values of X and Y chosen by reference to the expected sales. Simple probability, resting on counting the numbers of winning outcomes at a given level, enables the winning chances to be calculated. The organizers intend that numbers are selected at random, and may televise draws live, with independent scrutineers, to give assurance on this point. However, many gamblers continue to seek patterns in the data. Statistics alone can never prove that the draws are free from fraud or bias, but tests of randomness can indicate whether the results are consistent with the organizers’ aims. Gamblers may seek to use the data on the numbers of prize-winners in pari-mutuel lotteries to make inferences on the choices other gamblers are making, as the sizes of prizes depend on how many share them. Thus, even though using less popular choices should make no difference to the chances of winning, a gambler using this information can expect any prizes won to be larger than average." @default.
