To Jade,Thanks for your efforts. I hope Past results are not an indicator of future performance because I haven't won the big one yet and I'm still playing.RJOh

RJOh,here are the best and worst sets of 26 i've come up with. it's based on 1500 random sets of 26 numbers compared to the total 590 draws in Mega Millions.Best01 02 06 10 11 13 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 33 35 37 38 39 41 42 44 51Worst01 02 03 04 15 18 19 20 24 25 27 28 29 30 31 32 34 35 37 38 39 40 41 42 51 52However, keep in mind, there are 4.959185329 x 10^14 combinations for 52 numbers taken 26 at a time.

RJOhI will be interested in seeing your posting of the 26 numbers mentioned in your message to Jade- Buckeye

To Jade,The 26 even numbers included both sets of 52 numbers, so the 26 numbers would include both the combinations and the Mega balls. It hard to find a set that has more hits than the even numbers. I found a set that had more hits at the higher end, but fewer hits overall. They are: 02 04 06 09 10 13 14 18 21 22 24 25 27 29 31 32 35 39 40 41 42 44 45 49 51 52. These are the numbers I'll use to pick tonight's numbers using the parameters that I normally use to pick my numbers. I'll be a... [ More ]

To JADELottery,I have 520 records in my old biggame file and 69 records in my megamillion records so when I combine them I have 589 records. Do you have any way to find the most productive group of 26 numbers in just the Megamillions drawings? I am trying to compile a list with odd and even numbers which shows higher numbers at one end of the scale rather than in the center.RJOh

To Bug,It's always nice to get something back, even if it is less than I spent, it just nicer to get more. When I code my ideas is GWBasic, I alway code a way to change the variables or data as the program runs. As far as looking at those even numbers, I'm always looking for a smaller and more productive group of numbers. Some players look at hot,cold or overdue groups, but I prefer to find a small group of numbers that have covered a large group of winners. If I could pick my numbers fro... [ More ]

RJ, The last time you showed me what you were following I wrote code for three days! I really don't mind winning less than I spend. My wagers are kept pretty much under control, and it's like you said to keep it fun. Can't remember your exact words? I've had a win in my last four attempts. I hit the mega ball last night too, but never got my screen shot up. The wait for tonights draws is killing me. Fingers crossed but ready to return to my humble world when the streak ends....

Wedneday, Powerball had it's first set of all even numbers since it changed it format 26 drawings ago. Megamillions has had 4 sets of all even numbers and no all odd numbers since it started 68 drawings ago. Could it about time for all odd numbers to hit tonight?Good luckRJOh
