To cotti47I use programs I wrote years ago using GWBasic before such programs were commercially availabe and have modified them over the years. I also use Lotto Pro because its files can be read by a text editor and easily modified to be read by my programs. Lotto Pro shows some of the same data with graphs, but I can manipulate the outputs of my programs to make them more useful to me. I'm sure there are other ways to get the same information, but this works for me and I can modify my progra... [ More ]

RJOhWhat do you mean by smaller combinations , are you referring to a tighter range ?

My pick5, pick6 and bonus ball system

RJOh — Tue, 06 May 2003 23:01:36 GMT

With my system I use data from previous lottery drawings to pick my numbers. I play all the possible numbers in the core combinations(the basic 5 or 6 number combination) so in a 649 game I would play at least 9-10 lines to cover all 49 numbers, however if the combinations included a bonus number, I would be a little more selective for that one number. I have never won a jackpot with this system, but I did match 5 of 6 in Ohio649P last year. That is the best I have done so far, and overall
