Do you play powerball (lottery)?

Saying she won because of the good manners of someone else is sweet but illogical captain.

This has become a puzzle for me and I haven't been able to find answer. If you leave the machine alone in a given store for some period of time, will it still generate the same quick pic number it would have before despite the break? Or not? Is the system all interrelated so every time a ticket is sold all the other machines get a new set of numbers? Hmmmm.
