data
Edit: I pontificated on some probabilities that your friend should compute, but there were some errors, so I'll withdraw my incompetent comment. :)

Explanantion
I have learned that a computer is not capable of generating totally random numbers in my AP computer class
Although very hard to track, it uses the clock of the computer and its nanoseconds which no human can calculate. so to your understanding, IT IS RANDOM

The gm forum that was visible in april fools day isn't a reliable source of information. Everything there is meant to be a joke and not official

cant get anything past troupe
but seriously im hinting at a deeper conspiracy like when im on fire or 1 tap away from defeating vana a lava block falls on me and really sets me on fire, percentage changes like if you bought X amount into the game (epass/energy) your rare drop ratio is "Secretly" increased (you get what you put in) i have a few more theories...

Have all the wild delusions and conspiracy theories you want. You can't meassure luck or coincidence. Nothing will prove or dissprove anything. Unless you gather data from every player... but guess what, players can lie to you, runining the exepriment.
Now I'll hide this piece of code I found...

i read somewhere
if you've recently unlocked a lockbox, the prize wheel gives you more iron lockboxes to "keep up the flow"
They're entirely random. He's just angry because others are getting very lucky or he is being very unlucky.
