Life - Lucky For Life Lotto Technical explanation of the Instant Play When the central computer system receives from the retail-based lottery terminal a request for a Lucky for Life Lotto ticket, the system generates a very large pseudo-random number by taking the count of the number of seconds from a system counter which began running at 00:00:00 on January 01, 1970 (currently the number is over 1 billion, or 1,000,000,000), multiplying it by a constant C, then adding a constant D. The resulting very large pseudo-random number is then divided by another large number (216 or 20,000,000,000,000,000). The computer looks at the remainder of the resulting number. If the remainder is zero, that Lucky for Life Lotto Instant Play is an instant $10 winner. After the first transaction, the very large pseudo-random number functions as the starting point (or seed) instead of system time.
