You're right, and there was such a case a few years ago for a bingo-type
game. A few experts had been able to reproduce the algorithm involved in the
generation of the numbers (or, maybe, had stolen the formula, which is much
more likely since it must not be possible to work on so little data).
Anyways, they changed the way to proceed and instead of using a numerical
algorithm, they now analyze the waves in the ambiant air to determine their
numbers -which criterias are really involved I couldn't tell, I'm a physics
dummy-.
