Abstract

The popularity of lotteries has increased worldwide in the last few years, and so its revenues, making them an useful study case. This paper shows the research done for testing the randomness of the results of three lotteries and to check if there were any patterns, studying them as time series. This research was done using three methods, statistical randomness tests, autoregressive integrated moving averages (ARIMA), and artificial neural networks (ANN). At the end any sign of patterns or suspicious data was not found.
