ngl i used IBM Quantum to pick lotto numbers and now i have rejection-sampling questions

Understand this faster with AI
hobby project. small circuit on real IBM Quantum hardware, mapped the bitstrings to lotto number ranges (PCSO 6/42–6/58, UK lotto, US powerball). rejection sampling for non-power-of-2 ranges + a filter that retries on obviously skewed combos. does NOT improve odds obviously — same math, just true-random instead of pseudo-random. mostly built it for the bit. questions: rejection sampling for 1-42 / 1-55 — is there a smarter mapping i'm missing? feels wasteful tbh the skew filter retrying on bad combos — does it leak bias back in? gut says no but want a sanity check link in comments if mods are cool with it. submitted by /u/katmon_01 [link] [comments]
