Spending rose in 16 states, fell in 28 and was broadly unchanged in California; the analysis said Massachusetts had the highest per-capita figure at $904.

The figures provide operators and lottery stakeholders with a measure of US ticket spending and variation between states.

LottifyLab launches browser platform for combinatorial lottery system analysis

LottifyLab has introduced an online platform for building, analysing and verifying combinatorial systems using mathematical and computational methods. The project, developed by Donato Ghiglioni, offers algorithms including Greedy, DLX, genetic algorithms, Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search, and states it does not aim to predict draws.

LottifyLab has launched an online platform for building, analysing and verifying combinatorial systems using mathematical and computational methods. The project was developed by Donato Ghiglioni, the author of the book La matematica della fortuna and the creator of the TotoWin software in the 1990s. The platform states that its aim is not to identify winning numbers or predict draws, but to offer tools to study combinations, apply constraints and optimise the structure of systems.
