e.g. you pick one... you get you fave cookie right away... you got lucky. No doubt about it.

when it comes to rolling dice, whenever i roll a black die i get straight 6's but when i roll a red one all i seem to get is 3 and below. how does that work? and no they arent fixed dice either.

Shouldn't this be in General chat or void? ^^;
I'm not sure really, I belive sometimes we have those sagas in life of a few days of bad/good luck. Like on ep 3.. ugh >_<;

Explain what you mean
As far as I know there is a mechanism that keeps the balls moving.
Also as far as I know, the motion of the balls is fairly complex, with ricochets and rebounds, plus there is that thing that seemingly plucks the balls out of midair for the ball selection. It's mostly coincidental that someone has the matching numbers on their lottery ticket.
On topic: Three words to disprove luck.
1) Physics
2) Irony
3) Coincidence

i believe luck exists,
Most people think it is supersticious mumbo jumbuo,
But i believe,
If i could, i would learn everything there is to luck,
Including my for leaf clover, my luckey shamrock and keeping out of the way of dodgey scafolding

Orpheus you should know that luck exists, you know how hard it is to roll a 20 on a D20
Does luck exist? - mimas - 15-10-2004
5% chance?
There is physics involved in rolling that D20. (IE, how hard it is rolled, angle of rolling, etc.)

Allthough it is a five percent chance,
There is that little word called CHANCE,
A five percent chance is one in 20 but it doesint mean that that five percent chance will go up during the next roll :S
I just wish i could find a way to to boost the amount of chance.
