  • Well kept details here Mousy - I did report a number of issues with Magic early on in the comp hence why they extended until December (they claimed they had always planned to but never did) and a couple of us also queried the 'randomness' of the draw, especially early on.

    The ASA, Bauer and ISP have responded to me proclaiming they are sure their machine is random, but I have to admit I still have my doubts, especially in view of some of your statistics. I am a bit of a number-cruncher but would love someone who is good at probabilities to assist us with the likelihood of 25 names being drawn 3 times from the pool, some names 4 and one name 5 times! I am sure that it must be very remote, meaning the randomness of the machine has to be brought into question.

    May ask for a breakdown if it's OK at some point so I can pursue with the ASA and ISP again as I am getting suspicious. I am watching out for 7 friends and none of them have been out once, whereas the number of repeats, tripeats and quadpeats is increasing all the time!

    I *believe* that counting this one there have been 25 drawn three times...

    There has also been one drawn 5 times... ALAADDLNRUAH-7056
    three times of which were involved the day the software got "stuck" but still managed to get drawn again afterwards...

    Also one drawn 4 times IUECSEQAMSMJRLEUN-1449 which somehow managed that without the computer getting stuck...

    Neither of those have been claimed. I think only 4 of the 25 threes have been claimed...

    And if I really were an angel, I'd float over your bed
    Each night a different dream of me I'd plant inside your head
    And if I were an angel, I tell you what I'd do
    I'd appear in a vision and I'd give my wings to you
