What is a Random Number Generator (RNG) and how does it work?

Game results are audited regularly to ensure the highest standards of integrity and fairness. The PA Lottery only offers games online that have been independently tested and verified.

To ensure fairness, the internet instant games (also referred to as eInstants) employ a Random Number Generator (RNG). A RNG is used to make sure the outcome of every internet instant game you play is unpredictable and random from a predetermined prize structure.

RNGs are widely used to conduct Lottery drawings of all types. For example, RNG technology is also used to produce Quick Picks for Draw Games and used to conduct drawings such as for the mid-day games, Millionaire Raffle and Second-Chance Drawings.
