Random Number Generator

The reality is that the majority of random numbersused in computer programs can be described as pseudo-random and are created according to a set pattern through an equation. This is fine for various reasons, but it might not be as random as you'd expect it to be if you're used to lottery rolls or dice drawings.

RANDOM.ORG gives true random numbersto anyone on the Internet. The randomness is due to atmospheric noise, which for a variety of purposes is better than the fake-random numberalgorithms commonly used in computer applications. People use RANDOM.ORG for holding drawings, lotteries and sweepstakes to drive online games, to support applications that are scientific and also for art and music. The service has existed since 1998 and was founded by Dr Mads Haahr, who is from the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College, Dublin in Ireland. In the present, RANDOM.ORG is operated by Randomness and Integrity Services Ltd.FREE services
