How New York Lotto Number Generation Works

Our New York Lotto generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation (CSPRNG) to create authentic lottery combinations. The algorithm ensures true randomness with no bias, producing the same probability distribution as the official lottery drawing machines.

Algorithm: New York Lotto Number Generation

1. Main Number Selection (6 numbers):
   - Generate 6 unique random integers in range [1, 59]
   - Ensure no duplicates using reservoir sampling
   - Sort numbers in ascending order

2. Bonus Ball Selection (1 number):
   - Generate 1 additional random integer in range [1, 59]
   - Must differ from the 6 main numbers
   - Used only for Match 5 + Bonus prize tier

3. Validation:
   - Verify 6 unique main numbers (no duplicates)
   - Verify bonus ball differs from main numbers
   - Confirm all numbers in valid range [1, 59]

Randomness: CSPRNG ensures cryptographic-grade randomness
Probability: Each combination has 1/45,057,474 chance
