"The Impending Collapse of Our Enemies
Seems to be some upside to the worldwide economic fallout. ________ THE IMPENDING COLLAPSE OF OUR ENEMIES By DICK MORRIS EILEEN MCGANN Published on DickMorris.com on December 15, 2008 The Depression -- let's call it what it is -- leaves us, well, depressed. But there is very good news from around the world. Our enemies are collapsing under the strain of dropping oil and gas prices. What we had all hoped cons...

The KACHING Report 8/1, new idea, + New GA Lottery Drawing set, machines, and graphics
Whew....tiring week on the job. Saturday, I went to the Tobacco Mart near that Goodwill store again. I started with the $1 tickets, starting from the worst overall odds (yes, worst) until I won something on all the tickets from worst to best overall odds for that price range of tickets. I also did something else that I don't normally do in a slow playing run.......instead of buying 1 at a time, I bought 2 at a time. It actually worked out well this time around. H...

Since picking from the classifiers turned up nothing
This week for the power ball, it will be strictly the top line of the Markov chain followers. This is also where we see if it is best to skip the MM completely and just go with PB... mostly because the draws of the MM were nowhere near the numbers from the system, while the PB brought a few matches in the white balls (just not any PAYING ones). The budget will then be set at $12 per week for 3 shots at the jackpot AND 3 shots at the double draw $10M prize... the MM and it'...

Skipping the last Cash 4 Life draw.
As tonight is the final sale of tickets for the Cash 4 Life draw, I have decided to stay on budget for the week and skip it. I did not ask for a new $5 game, the $2 C4L was fine exactly how it was. I liked all the history available (10 years) when I did have a go at the game. I will try this game once, on July 12th, 2028, as the night before will hit the 870 draws required to run the classification function in the app. By then hopefully I will hav...

14 day window on PA Pick 3... back test results
Everything stays identical, except the chance of at least one all neutral hit goes from 70% to 90%... What does that mean going forward? It means play the same combo for 2 weeks, not just 1... Today, the Mid Day pick 3 was last week's pick boxed... cost $28 ( 2 weeks @ $14), the box hit would have been $40, refunding the 2 weeks and providing $12 of the $14 needed for the next week... the 90% holds for day (RNG) and night (Mechanical). When returning to...

Interesting coding day!
Got the draws out counter working on the Cash 4 life version of the script. This was more difficult because not all 60 numbers appear in each column. I had to wrap the counter in an if statement to first check if the value appears, then process as normal if it does, and replace with a dummy value (999) if it does not. In this update I also added the display of neutrals per column. Last update will be adding the chi square goodness of fit and P value... then porting to Matc...

The PA Match 6 option
Thinking about the wait on wins for the pick 3 brings up another option... the Match 6. If it were played in 7 draw increments, it would cost the same as the pick 3, $14 per week... a window of 28 days is just playing the same combo 4 weeks in a row. Sure the Quick Pick lines would change each week, but it fits the budget perfectly... park the pick 3 attempt for 4 weeks... if only the lower tier prizes were better... As I approach the halfway poin...

Playing the last 6 draws in the Cash 4 Life test
Two groups of 10 draws, each hitting $6 on 3 separate 1+1 events. This last stretch brings the total number of draws to 26, matching the window, and the net loss to -$196 This exact scenario is why it HAD to be played on house money... out of pocket was $0 There are still 6 draws remaining, but noticing a trend here, I did not do very well at choosing from the neutrals. Given how the pick 3 is now using the all neutral QP generator, it may be some time before the...

Cycle adjustment for the Cash 4 Life
Now that I know advanced draws are limited to 10, I may just shorten the window to 20 draws rather than 26. I will play the full 26 this round, but there are still one or more NNNNN draws when shortening to 20. Also lowers the cost to $160 on any combo rather than the $208 it is now. Also, rather than go on about how many drawings in a row it is possible to get 0 white balls (2 so far) I will limit to mentioning any wins... for this and the dailies. I have 24 mor...
