Title: How they choose the Lotto numbers

Speaker: David Malone, Maynooth University

Abstract:
Asking how a group of people choose their lottery numbers is a little like asking how they choose their passwords. A first step to answering this question would involve knowing what people's choices of lottery numbers are. We'll look at how to do this with publicly available data.
