Using WINHunter, you can test varying points of past draws to use in the above methods. You may find that a draw 4 weeks ago works better as a source for numbers to eliminate for the next drawing.

HI everyone. I agree with bobp about not playing the previous draw and have had good luck with at times. And even if one number does come in , what is wrong with getting 4 out of 5 , especially when you are using a wheel of sorts. That would gaurantee you multiple 4 out of 5 wins not to mention all the multiples of 3 out of 5. money is money.

Hello Whodeani Friends:As you said, for some of the lottery games, at least one number repeats from an immediate previous draw; and I feel it is more likely for a lottery with far lesser combos. I was wondering which kind of number is likely to repeat?! Is it from a hot number group or cold number group?! Is there a way to filter this out?! Are there any programs/studies available addressing this particular issue?! Can this knowledge help prefer/reject such numbers and keep ONLY what is MOST l... [ More ]

Let me describe the terms that I use for the filters. Majority of the terms is commonly used in International Lotto Tips and Strategies. The filters I used is custom programmed to run under a Windows environment for the Florida 6/53 Lotto game... however, I can rewrite the code for the 6/49 Lotto played in other states. Pattern Elimination (eg. 05 15 20 25 30)Pattern Elimination is used to remove numbers that is generated by a pattern. For example, the 6 lotto number: 15 20 25 30 35 40 are all m... [ More ]

bOyy, Your making things way too complicated, and most of your filter examples don't make sense with the words you use to describe them.Some examples:***Pattern Elimination(eg. 05 15 20 25 30)What is the pattern? All I can see is all the numbers are multipliers of the number 5. Why don't you say that?***Consective Number Elimination (eg. 1 2 3 4 5 6 or 8 9 10 11 26 45)Yes the first example is a consective number GROUPThe second example I'd call 4 consective numbers in a 6 number group.***Elimina...

keystonechas You've misunderstood my statement. I said there's a 50% chance that the SUM of all 6 numbers is odd.For example: 01 05 17 20 21 4401+05+17+20+21+44=98 (even)The sum of ALL 6 numbers can ONLY be an even number or an odd number. Therefore, it is a 50% chance. I hope that clear things up.----------------I have tested my filters against 100 previously drawed winning numbers and that chance of winning is 94% with the 301,662 reduced combinations. However, in order to qualify for the 94... [ More ]

I've tried filtering with sums, ranges, gaps, number positions, number of matches and etc. Each filter allowed 80-90% of the numbers or parameters, but only 20-25% of the combinations got by all the the filters and their percent of hits were no greater than for the whole group. If you've discovered a way to reduce the group size and increase its percent of hits compared to the whole group than you are on your way to a winner.Good luck to you.RJOh

It sounds like you are trying to reduce the odds by filtering. You might want to check and see how many of the past winning combinations would have passed those filters not individually but when all your filters are applied together. Almost every past winning combination I've checked contained some filterable factor that would have gotten it kicked out of the play group. One thing you can do is create filter profiles for certain types of drawings, such as when five or six of the winning numbers... [ More ]

Personally if I lived in the state of Florida I'd be spending the majority of my lottery budget on Fantasy 5. 1/36 game with one to 376,992 odds. Capture 50%-75% of the total numbers in a good wheeling system and you have taken the odds down to a level where you'll have a darn good chance at claiming that $100,00 prize.Good luckPlay responsibly and have fun, Chas

Does anyone have any ideas on how to further reduce the odds in a 6 number Lotto?For the Florida 6/53 Lotto game, the chance is 1 in 22,957,480 ... using past datas I've been able to reduce it to 1 in 2,989,937 for one combination played. If I were to play 10,000 combinations, the chance to hit the jackpot would be 1 in 298.99 ... I'm using all 53 possible numbers. However, I think that 1 in 298.99 chance of winning is still 99.996655% of losing... Anyone have ideas to further reduce the odds... [ More ]
