Law of Attraction is nothing more than simple confirmation bias. It's just like when people pray for something it actually happens.. like praying the rain would stop... It would have happened any way. Claiming you made it happen via some superstitious nonsense/Jedi mind trick just shows the world you are about as dumb as it gets also extremely gullible.

Players who care about winning regardless of the odds or payout ratios know they won't win if they don't play.

If PB players cared about odds to payoff ratios, they wouldn't play very often. But considering only 4% of the tickets win anything, winning $100 every 14,494 drawings is better than nothing.

The odds of 8 triplets in 1548 draws are 1.5%. The odds of less than 9 triplets in that many draws are 2.9%. These are low odds but they are nothing to be suspicious about. Something with the odds of just 2.9% will happen approximately once every 34 trials. So if you have at least 34 different Pick3 lotteries around the world with at least 1500 past draws each, we can already expect this occurrence.

Read my previous reply regarding 8 triples out of ~1548 draws. What's the odds of being drawn 8 times instead of some value towards 15? Probably low single digit percentage. Your point is well taken regarding range, but keeping it simple for readers.

In the ideal, perfect world, computer RNG is just as good as balls. But in the real world, time and time again, lottery computer RNGs have come up short for various reasons, including outright mis-configuration, leading to skewed results. To make... [ More ]

All the patterns that I found posted on these forums were well within the practical limits of randomness after I calculated how likely is the pattern to appear by chance. Also for your own claims regarding the number of expected triplets below;

number of draws: 1461

probability of more than 18 triplets: 15.3%

probability of exactly 18 triplets: 6.5%

probability of exactly 17 triplets: 8.0%

probability of exactly 16 triplets: 9.4%

Many of the LP members are discussing the jackpot games where players must beat over 900,000 to 1 odds to win $100 playing PB .......

*odds of matching 3of5 + 1 bonus number in PB for $100 = 1:14,494

odds of matching 4of5 + 0 bonus number in PB for $100 = 1:36,525

odds of matching 4of5 + 1 bonus numder in PB for $50000 = 1:913,129

EDIT: I just checked my numbers, and guess what was drawn today in the Day ... 777. Go figure. I was thinking of playing triples too. Maybe next time.

From my understanding, pseudo-random number generators (RNGs) will draw numbers with differing short-term distribution patterns (ie. clusters and non-clusters) than non-computerized methods, such as balls. However, both methods should result in the same very long-term distribution of numbers. Ie. 100 million Pick 3 draws should result in nearly... [ More ]

Ron ... interesting results and more fuel to the discussion of RNG numbers over bouncing ball number picks.

When I did play the Pick 3 many years back ... I never played the Pick 3 afternoon game after it started ... only the Pick 3 evening game.

So looking at your above results posted ... perhaps more reason to avoid RNG games ... especially if a player is talking and spending their own money against such a huge house advantage.

Do some back-testing of various systems / strategies you're considering against past lottery results. For example, a system such as playing triples only after 50 to 100 draws has past since the previous one. Seems like a winning strategy, but is it? Alternatively, playing triples within say the first 25 draws since the last one. Would either strategy have worked in Pennsylvania Pick 3? Maybe... But would have depended, in large part, on whether one played either Day or Night or both Day and Nigh... [ More ]

Why do many of you predictors post all the same numbers for all the states?

Good question!!

I think it is a two part answer.

1) People are two lazy to place specific bets for specific states. Or they dont have the charts or skill. Since the original calendar website went down, many players have to do more work.

2) The culture of lottery post originally grew out of an ability to play at one of these costa rican/bahamaian websites.

I deny it. People claim to, but never demonstrate. You can check and see for yourself. Look at what those regular predictors are winning everyday and compare it to what they're spending. Look at the Lifetime statistics. Even the ones who have hit a small jackpot, twice even, or are hot for the month are STILL in the hole.

I believe the majority of people would agree with you.

However, I think of those of you who have been doing it for years wouldn't stick with it so long unless you are making some sort of income. I see the regular predictors winning everyday. They may not 'make a living' doing this but possibly supplementing their income at worst and working in a capacity which gives them more freedom to post here at best. Would any of you be willing to confirm or deny this? All comm... [ More ]

The moment someone says they are making a living and earning enough income to pay their bills from the lottery is when red flags immediately go up. The person is either not based in reality on how much their spending verse how much their winning, or their trying to pull a fast one with false claims. I have yet to see someone pick one state and nail the numbers for that state on the same consistent bases they claim to be winning.

There's much confirmation bias here leading one to believe that lottery systems work

Ask any so-called expert here or ANYONE with a so-called system to demonstrate and prepare yourself for the deafening silence, or collection of excuses as to why they can't. Especially, the one's who say they have a system, but when asked for directions, they give you a Donald Trump-like explanation or say that you have to use your imagination or dreams to pick the numbers.

Keyword there being vulnerability . Barring that, unless one is extraordinarily lucky, making bank on the lottery is near impossible.

Some claim to make money on the lottery, but few really do when factoring in all their play. A 50% house advantage is huge. Sure, one can use various strategies to eliminate and/or focus on various numbers, combos, etc. For example, tracking length of time between triples appearing for determining when to play them. Works for some, and maybe for awhile. However... [ More ]

I totally agree with you all:). I am not winning as much as many of you, but I see the numbers in my strategies almost everyday. I even noticed the triples for SC in my numbers yesterday and the hit was 993 which was what I anticipated (a mirroring of the last digit) based on the workouts. I just dont know which numbers to play and at what time (LOL) so I guess in that respect the knowledge is no use to me at this point but I am learning from you all everyday.

especially about pick-3 games. In the last fiscal year, the PA lottery had $311 million in pick-3 wagers and $155 million was paid out to winners. And that 50/50 payoff applies to all pick-3 games leaving plenty of money for players to share. Many of the LP members are discussing the jackpot games where players must beat over 900,000 to 1 odds to win $100 playing PB when odds of winning $500 or $5000 playing pick-3 are much better.

Regardless of strategy, earning a living from the lottery is foolhardy, since the house has a ~50% edge on numbers games per play. That's steep! Consider how difficult it is for players to beat 21 (Black Jack) at the casino, and that's with a house advantage of less than 2% per play (an experienced card counter can improve this to a negative 1/2% or so; giving the player the edge). The lottery is many times worse than most any game in a casino.

First off I want to thank you all for this website. Stategically playing the pick 3 and 4 lottery has totally changed my life. I no longer give the state money in the lottery game without winning from time to time. I started about 2 months ago using various different lottery strategies to help me with my pick 3 and pick 4 bets. When I first began, I was making approx 500-1000 additional income in playing lottery in NC and SC. I used the strategies as I was taught (317, 316, pyramid and mirrors
