So in Texas the powerball reached over a billion dollars recently and a single person claimed the jackpot with a single ticket using AI to generate the winning numbers. Besides that I have seen no other real profit in the real world. Gotta figure out how they did it before the bubble pops I guess.
Given that all lottery draws are equally likely, you’d want your own to be numbers that no-one else has chosen, so that if you win you wont have to share it so many ways. Don’t choose numbers that are birthdays, for instance. But “generate six numbers completely at random” is such a bad ask for an LLM that I can’t even - it’s likely to pick ones it’s seen before in its training data, which is the worst possible selection.

The word “generate” is pulling a lot of weight here.
