What is funny, and happens a lot to me, is that when a trend is detected, and I start trying to play around it, it ends. Just like that, bam, done, over.

To address this, in anticipation of a trend, I have created a small pool of numbers (8 or 9) depending on if it is 5/39 or 6/39, chose a common decade pattern, and play a few different combos every draw using this group of numbers. Of course, as always, you have to have luck on your side because this is a game of chance. But when the n... [ More ]

I do not believe in due numbers either... Maybe we should do a poll like this... Do you count on due numbers or not...?!?

you'd do a wheeled combination with the remaining numbers, filter out all extreme combinations e.g. odd-even , high-low, etc

since hot-cold usually occure in 3-2 or 2-3 , you'd pick 1 other hot , and 3 or 2 cold numbers.

If one knew with certainty that a number will come out in the very next draw because that number is due , which other 4 numbers would you put with it? How would you decide which other numbers to play. Figure that one out and you have found the holy grail to lotto.

(The key word above is certainty .

I agree. I don't believe in due numbers.

It's BOTH.

The trick is, you have 5 numbers you have to hit.

The problem is, you will have too many numbers that have not hit in 'a long time' that are 'due', so do you play the 5 numbers that are the longest out ? (currently 21-47-20-37-25). Of course not.

Then you have a pool of numbers that (seem to) hit more often than your 'average' numbers, so do you play all of them ?

(arguably 19, 26, 35, 38, 43, and about twelve others). Of course not.

So do you play what is 'hot' o... [ More ]

The trend is your friend.

Some people insist that numbers that are hot tend to stay hot, and numbers that are cold tend to stay cold.

I was under the impression , teh longest due numbers will be most likely to hit ... precisely because they haven't shown up yet..

Maybe I could be wrong.

For the few who don't know Due is relative. Take a 6/48 game every number should be drawn once every 8 draws. Those numbers not drawn become Due. This is most evident with a new game where numbers quickly become hot, average, due and cold. The longest due numbers are often best considered as being dead and should not be played until at least one hit after which they often soon hit again.

Because there is no proven way to play lotto, one way is to determine what should happen in a perfect... [ More ]

the probabilities say , given a large number of runs, all numbers are equally drawn. If you drawn a bar graph depicting the number of times each number was drawn against the average for all numbers.. Those numbers are below the average WILL BE DRawn..its not a IF, or but Its a definite thing that these will be drawn.

Yes it might take a lot of drawns, but eventually when it does hit, on the 350th or 349th, drawing -- Your sitting there ready for it.

More so, the probablities in... [ More ]

I always crack up when I read about 'which ones (numbers) are due'.........

If anyone could actually predict which numbers are 'due', someone would hit it EVERY drawing, but nobody except a select few here seem to understand this.

For example, a few weeks ago, PB 40 had not hit in 223 games, then it hit. When was it 'due' ? Around 125 or so ??

Current case: WB #25 - has not hit in 350 draws. 350 ? Yep - 70 games multiplied by 5 chances a game (they pull 5 WB's per gam... [ More ]

I also wrote my own software to pick combinations for the games I play including those with a bonus ball such as MegaMillions or Ohio Super Lotto. I also keep a data base of all drawings and use the same program to check my play files for winners with that data. It's a work in progress which changes as I come up with better ideas.

I've written my own software to choose my PowerBall numbers and have used history based decisions in the past. I don't really care for history based decisions. There are a lot better ways of choosing numbers.

Where did you find Lotto Runner?

Sounds interest. Can you say what itdoes as far as; pairs, history, hot and cold #'s and due numbers?

Roughly how much history is needed? I know you said 10 previous, but you indicated odd-even,what if it's mixed

lottery prediction software...I found the software i've looked at, lotto runner was the best...but i like a more hands on, know whats happening approach.

basically , it looks at history see which ones are due, and then which pairs not have been selected, run it past filters based on previously history.. about 10 filters..if the past 10 winners were odd-even favorite..it'll pick an even to balance etc.

one of my filters checks if triples were previously selected
