The random numbers are normally meanless, but the things like lotteries those numbers are extremely important because the use of randomized numbers eliminates the possibility to give winner lottery ticket to some friend of the seller. The problem with those numbers is that there are no real random numbers even in computers. There will be limits what is given those numbers, and that makes the problem with those numbers.
The most important thing where is used the random numbers is the nuclear weapon security. Real random numbers cannot be pre-calculated and that eliminates the possibility to guess the numbers, what has been picked from some baskets, but this method is getting old. This is the reason, why USAF hired RAND corporation to make the book where are only the numbers.
The most boring book in history might the RAND book of numbers. The name of this masterpiece was "A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates". There is written million random numbers, what is calculated by the early computer. The million random numbers are so boring to involve for some book, that some people ask "who will buy that book? Actually, there are many people, who were interested in this particular book. Those numbers were used to make the numbers for lottery tickets, and also some military intelligence operators used that book to create codes for the military operations, and those codes are actually very easy to understand.
The military commander gets the series of numbers from the radio, and those numbers involve page, column and the number of the line. After that, the commander looks from the safe box is there a letter, what has this number, and then this person will open this letter and starts the required action. Those numbers are very interested in some investigators, who investigates lottery crimes. They are looking for the marks from the lottery tickets, what will involve the main prize. Lotteries are the very good way to give profits to somebody.
If some person wins the car in the lottery, can this person sell it immediately, and take good win about this action. But recognize the right lottery ticket is the problem. One way to make the ticket easy to recognize is to mark it with number series like "666", but the problem is that many people know about that the "lucky number" is often the code "666" or "222" as involved the series number of the lottery ticket. So the person can use the random number.
And the number might give to the buyer in the mode of the lotto ticket. There is only need to give the paper, what has more numbers than in lottery ticket to the buyer because that hides the real purpose if those numbers. If the lottery seller is clever in those lottery tickets is not used the same number of numbers, what is used in telephone catalogs.
This denies the cover these numbers as the formula of telephone numbers. One of the most fascinated thing, where those randomized numbers were used was tests, where were investigated some person capacity to see to the future. Or influent to the material by using their mental power.
Those investigations made by using the generator, what bases the Cesium-isotope. Then this nuclear isotope will send the radioactive radiation to the sensor, would that effect cause the series of pulses, when the radiation will face the Geiger-tube, will that give the randomized numbers. Those tests were proven that those persons could not influence the radioactive isotopes capacity to give radioactive radiation to the Geiger-tube.
