The winning combination for the June 5 Mega Millions drawing is 07.22.27.41.49 + 10.

I once again reduced 4 choices down to 2 and then made the wrong final choice.

This concludes my Mega Ball workout postings.

School is out, the kids are home and the long hot Texas summer has begun.

There is little time and interest for a predator game that is not on my play list.

In retrospect, I believe I have demonstrated that a substitution workout has a place in the overall lottery scheme.

The winning combination and Mega Ball for the June 2 drawing is 2.9.11.22.23 + 12.

I evaluated several trend lines and wrongly predicted the Mega Ball would be 5, 6, 7 or 8.

I bought 4 QPs and played my Mega ball choices.

A total strikeout!

Not a single main combination hit!!

It goes without saying that others could have evaluated the same trend lines and drawn different conclusions.

How long does it take to update the tracking charts?

I did it in less than 10 mi... [ More ]

As you noted I too have tried to develop a system to help me predict winners and a couple of years back when I matched 5of6 in the local 6/49 game I thought I was on to something but as anyone who checked my predictions statistics knows I haven't done as well since.

With Mega Millions last matrix change I made changes to adapt for the 75 numbers and is constantly making them. For tomorrow MM drawing I will only use the last 168 drawings to calculate my picks but will avoid repeating any comb... [ More ]

Hello, RJOH

It goes without saying that all lottery system players, including you, are following some kind of game plan, so to speak, they believe will help them be a winner.

As far as I can tell, most of the methods are based on one central idea:

Winning lottery combinations can be predicted in advance by applying various mathematical formulae that analyze a lottery game 'en masse' and point the way to financial independence.

I did that for many years before concluding that trying t... [ More ]

With your system are you trying to pick a winning MM combination or just the winning maga ball of 15? By pick four possible outcomes of 15 your odds of being correct are 4/15 or 26

The winning Mega Millions combination for the May 29 drawing is: 20-27-38-49-66+2.

I predicted the MB# would be 1,2,3, or 4!!!

Two correct choices in a row!

I've updated my paper and pencil workout and, if I'm reading the Star Chart and other trend lines correctly, the next MB# will be 5, 6, 7, or 8.

Detailed paper and pen workouts demand good penmanship and close attention to details.

Otherwise, you could end up traveling up a wrong column or across in the wrong row.

Enough said.

I predicted '7',

The winning number is '12'.

My updated data indicates the May 29 Mega Ball could be 1,2,3 or 4.

Good luck if you really believe someone in going to analyze the last 167 MM games, come up with a strategy/workout to improve your odds of winning a quarter of a billion dollars jackpot and hand it over to you because they don't like playing such games with large matrix.

It will be awhile before I post workout details.

This is new and only two drawings.

Don't want to put something out until I'm confident that my methods are sound.

Thanks for your interest.

I think Ohio's Rolling Cash5 is a fun and an attractive game but I don't see Texas rushing to duplicate it. Each state have their own ideas about what works in their state. The only games most states agree on are MM and PB because before they were added to their list of games, local players were going across their boarders to play them.

SergeM — Mon, 25 May 2015 23:45:57 GMT

Those games are attractive, and it is not because Texas pays 2 for 1, for 2/5, that for example New York would change its pick 5! The All or nothing is really attractive, and consider a fix budget for a year. If you spend 500 in a year on tickets, you have the better result with All or nothing, that is sure. I think that you are unaware of the calculation! Please check it out and do the math or look it up on LP as I posted it. - There is no game that pays 2 for 1 with a 1 out of 2 chance. Maybe

RJOh — Mon, 25 May 2015 22:52:06 GMT

If those games are that attractive most states of similar size will either add them to their games or come up with something very similar. Nobody is going to get rich playing all or nothing, it's that right now spending $10 with an almost guaranteed of winning back $2 seems like a good deal to some players. That will change when they look back after spending a thousand dollars seeing they've only won $200.

SergeM — Mon, 25 May 2015 16:02:36 GMT

Euromillions pays out for 2/5, but what a difference! 2/50 against 2/37, and you have to pay two euros for one combination at Euromillions. I think that you are lucky to have such a game. Also the All or nothing has a low loosing score. Everybody will want to move to Texas now.

According to reports, Texans are buying lottery products at record levels, especially the scratch offs.

Cash 5/37 is a joke with jackpots less than $20,000 but folks keep playing it.

There are indications that the jackpot games are not growing. Players have no doubt decided that Mega and Powerball are 'predatory' games that

should be avoided. Amen to that.

The politicians who voted to cancel the lottery two years ago are deadly silent this year.

RJOh — Mon, 25 May 2015 14:01:36 GMT

Ohio has a 5/39 game with a starting jackpot of $100,000 which rolls until someone wins and its tickets are only a dollars and it seems to be doing fine. I guess it all depends on what TLC think players can afford and then again it also what Texas's players are willing to pay.

From the last 50 drawings #7 is top dawg followed by 3 then 4.

Megaball

Top 3 by frequency: 3 7 15, 49 times.

The bottom 3's did less than half of that.

Followers: 5 followed by 14 happened 3 times.

Guess for next 2 drawings: 1-6-7.

/* I just missed a 3000 payout because I didn't use the prepared numbers, I forgot to play them.

Hi!

The TLC is going to replace current Cash 5 sometime next year!

Yes, it's going to be a $2 game.

Feds need to start printing more $2 bills!!!

I don't usually play more than 5 sets, but, I'm using the game to develop my substitution workout that can be used for ALL lottery games, except Keno.

The workout, which is essentially complete, requires I select 3 numbers from each of the 4 decades - 12 total numbers.

I usually distribute the numbers evenly using some base alpha signa... [ More ]

Well, well, well!!

Beginner's luck??

Lucky shot??

Lotto Star??

Proof that a workout using the power of substitution can work??

Take your pick, or add other (good and/or bad) possibilities!!

I'm certain that the great mathematically-oriented folks here are thinking that

one partial win doesn't prove anything. Only consistent wins are worthy

of consideration!!

Fair enough!

Let's see what develops!

Usually I also don't play mega and powerball anymore. You are right about way too many combinations which generally lead to nowhere. So its just picks 3 or 4 for me and that too online. Triple eight and lottosignals are some places where I get solace these days.

Hope I didn't rain on any parades.

Again, use at your own risk.

Any time one uses the workouts of other members they are taking a risk. Such information make interesting discussions but are seldom informative.

Sounds like they like doing things big in Texas especially when it comes to lottery ticket prices. I was stationed at Fort Sam in the '60 and people there didn't seem to have any more money to spend than they did in Ohio but times must have changed since then.

Bobby, you're spending $9 on Cash 5, if you hit you'll win $16,000 to $18,000. If you put $5 straight on Daily 4, you have 1 in 10,000 odds of hitting $25,000, and it's not parimutuel.

The only thing is you can hit smaller prizes on Cash 5. On Daily 4, you either win, or lose.

I dabbled in Cash 5 this month and did ok. Spent $15 and won back $10. I just can't get that enthused about that game. The jackpot is so crappy for the odds. What really bugs me is that they're gonna roll out this Triple Chance game with a $100,000 jackpot with a $2 ticket cost and high odds. They could make Cash 5 a $100,000 game, still keep the cost at a buck and keep the odds the same if they tweaked it. But.... all those idiots want to do is roll out game after game and charge $2.

Thanks for your interest!

One thing I've learned for sure is that there is a major conflict between substitution and traditional workouts.

If I apply your theory to my workout, MB #7 would be a good choice for today's Mega Million drawing.

Of course, the difference is I'm evaluating the behavior of 4 specific digits since Jan. 2, as opposed to the 15 you are considering for a much

longer period of time.

Good luck with whatever choices you make.

Frankly, if I'm not playing a QP. which I do most often, I will choose the mega ball(s) that has been drawn most often, and sometimes also play the number that was last drawn. It's not uncommon for the mega ball to repeat.

I'm sorry to report that I have discovered a significant error in my newly-minted Mega

Ball workout.

The fix has changed all of the trend lines I use to choose (guess) what the next Mega Ball could be.

My analysis of the revised tracking charts indicates that the Mega Ball for the May 22 drawing could be 5,6,7 or 8, rather than 1,2,3 or 4.

The movement of the 'dot' on the 'Star Chart' for this set of digits does not generate

a recognizable pattern, such as a diagonal, step, spoon,... [ More ]

bobby623 — Wed, 20 May 2015 20:12:49 GMT

I don't play Mega Millions - too many Decades (8), too many numbers (75) to track via

my Substitution w/Gap strategy workout.

I'm having some success 'guessing' what the next Bonus Ball will be in the Texas Two-Step

game. Therefore, I think the same workout will work for the Mega Ball.

So, just for the heck of it, I generated a set of tracking charts that reflect where the 15

Mega balls have been, since Jan. 2015, and where they might be headed.

If I'm interpreting the trend li... [ More ]
