BFDES (Brute Force Double Exponential Smoothing)
Wanted to share something I'm working on relative to Pick 3. It's a bit off the beaten path, but appears to be very promising based some initial backtesting of Connecticut's Midday and Evening Pick 3. I call it BFDES, short for Brute Force Double Exponential Smoothing . Some background for those who are not familiar with Exponential Smoothing: per Wikipedia, Exponential Smoothing is a technique for smoothing time series data using the exponential window function. Exponential functions are use

...would suggest that YOU may really work for the opposition...!! There you go again thinking you know me. and highlights your tyrannical double standards, in that you unconsciously expect US to take you at YOUR unproven unposted ticket claims of successes, ( I have no problems picking 3, 4 correct numbers here) yet, others need clear your baited hurdles...Comeooon naaah...

Challenges with filling out betslips manuallyReply
Well again, ... That's why I love using Lotto Pro ...it has a feature whereby you can input the betslip measurements in that particular section of the Program, it will then print your number selections right onto your game's betslips... saving alot of time, especially if you're in a Lottery Pool,... plus it's always accurate... Data Solutions will post the dimensions of your State's Game's betslip measurements on their Website, if you send them about 30-35 blank betslips..but that's prov

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $1 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
43 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: $3 winners would be incredibly unlikely if all of the tickets had been random, the lotteries have told us that only 70 to 80% of players choose QP. Depending on the percentage of people picking their own numbers that stick to birthday numbers 43 winners is pretty close to what probability suggests. The necessary corollary is that when the winning numbers have fewer birthday numbers there are fewer 5+0 winners than would no

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?Reply
You said you wheel half the matrix using Bluskov's wheels, which are abbreviated and in some cases mathematically minimal, but still involve buying more than 10 lines. Again, there you go with misinformation.. GAIL HOWARD suggested that in order to have a decent chance of winning, you'd need to wheel half your Game's Matrix..I was quoting her... I said that sometimes the Math points out about half, sometimes less or more ,.. but that I weigh my numbers, which aids me in reducing the

Current Jackpots...Reply
What Todd and USA Mega said pertaining to the lump sum being the real cash value, and the following from the MM and PB websites: Mega Millions: The Mega Millions annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments (30 total). Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one. This helps protect winners lifestyle and purchasing power in periods of inflation. For a typical jackpot of $100 million, the initial payment would be about $1.5 million, and future annual payments

Combinatorics & Modus TollensReply
I am not exactly sure what you mean by one element samplings, but it sounds like you are saying that you need 187 drawing for all numbers to be drawn at least once. Every number should appear at least once in this 5/43 sample size of 187 draws. It's random of course and possible that some numbers will not show in that time. But Take Mega Millions for example. Might as well use the full data set of approx 305 games, then limit yourself to 187 draws in that particular game. There
