Flags: 000000000001 From: fgz@lakart.UUCP (Federico Genoese-Zerbi) Subject: The POWER of RANDOM Keywords: true, smirk Date: 2 Dec 88 03:30:03 GMT This was an ad I found in a "Sporting Edge" catalog (you know, one of those yuppy hardware stuff catalogs). I thought it was great....I also thought that I should perhaps open up my own service. I can just see it: FEDERICO'S RANDOM NUMBER SYSTEM. Guaranteed to follow no pattern whatsoever, or something like that. Anyway, enjoy the ad. _________________________________________________________________________ Tap the power of _random_ selection to increase chances of winning the lotto! Lotto players face a dilemma each time they buy a ticket. What numbers to pick? Studies have shown that most lotto winners don't use any sort of special system to select their numbers. Instead, they tap the power of _random selection_. The Millionaire Maker is a novel, fun way to user random selection to pick your numbers. It works just like a state Lotto machine. A tiny battery-powered motor under the base rotates the sphere, which holds 80 numbered balls. Press one button and the sphere mixes the balls thoroughly. Touch the other and the sphere rotates in the opposite direction...a clever scooping system lifts a single ball at a time, up and into a sliding tray. To return the balls to the sphere simply place them on the filling tray and tilt it up. Now you are ready to choose another perfectly random set of numbers. Order Millionaire Maker today, for yourself, or friends who enjoy playing Lotto. _YOU_ night bust the Lotto and be an instant millionaire! #413110 Millionaire Maker $19.95 (1lb.) -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
