Big win random considerations
Been awhile since I looked into what to do if there might ever be a big win.
Some things have stayed the same... top federal tax rate on a lottery win is 37%, but the IRS only requires your state lottery to withhold 24%. That means you will owe an additional 13%, but not on all winnings as the sliding tax rate applies until you hit that 37% THIS is a big reason they recommend a tax attorney to help with planning. You don't have what you think you have until the taxes are paid! Estim...

Ran the start day tests with past data instead
Pulling the plug on the start day test. Data was mostly the same stepping through 7 draws.
Still live testing the pick 3, just not shuffling start days.
There is the added change each week in interpreting the results, so rather than go for constant play, I will be instead running if I have identified an area of interest to focus upon and pursue an attempt. This will ultimately lead to less frequent attempts and more time at the phase 2 drawing board... which is genera...

Follow Your Hunch-Illinois
So I missed winning in Illinois today. I didn't follow my hunch. Looking at all the numbers I saw the 225 on my workout it hit in midday 8/11/2024. When doing a workout a person have so many numbers to choose from. But, when your on a budget a person can only play what he/she can. I always say something bigger is coming if I missed a small hit.

What I look for in a pick 3 back test
It is all about gaps. The gaps between wins.
What you can tell right away...
A maximum gap (longest stretch between wins) of 501 days or more indicates a system that is not profitable.
The average gap has no value.
The minimum gap is the number of days you can confidently STOP playing. If you don't play every draw, your expense in chasing the next win is reduced! If there is an anomaly like a back to back win, it can most likely be discounted as an outl...

Math and the lottery
Thought I would make some time here to discuss math. Seems like everyone on here is talking math this and math that and not one soul has a clue on why they aren't getting wins. I said it once before and I will say it one last time. Strategy should be your applied focus. Math is secondary, if that. The approach to any lottery game should always be Strategy , first and foremost. Got it? Good, so enough about math. Nothing good and worthwhile has come to lottery winners from usin...
