Paranoid or Prudent?Reply
I would keep my game strategy to a closed group @ LP if I could, otherwise, I do believe that the winnings would STOP. If I were the business people that the Lotto Folks obviously are, I would not want to be in the red! because too many people were beating the odds.

When you backtest systems..Reply
I usually backtest a system or strategy throughout the entire draw histories of every state that I have (I'm talking Pick-3 here). Normally, you can calculate the probability of a system hitting before you even start the backtest. The success rate of every system normaly performs very close to its true overall probability over the long term. Finding a system that way over performs its probability in every (or most) states would indicate a true odds-breaking system.....so far, I've found non

If they buy 20 tickets they're 20 times more likely to win, so their odds are much better than for somebody who has a single ticket. Of course, their individual winnings will only be 1/20th of what an individual would win.

Testing lotteries backward.Reply
It might be as simple as finding a numerical relationship from one draw to the next or a group of numbers to the next by looking at past results and seeing if that relationship continues. The problem is because it's a random draw, those numerical relationships are just as random. There is a program called Maxhit Pro that has hundreds of systems, scans whatever number of history draws you choose, and shows which system(s) that hit the most. All games of chance have a rhythem, we are tryin

I agree with you, except something is better than nothing. As far as buying 20 tickets goes, it's true the odds remain the same, but if they are buying 20 tickets as a group, each person has 19 more chances, right? Depending on how many people pitched in, a split could still turn out to be a nice prize. 17 co-workers (airplane mechanics in Miami) just claimed a $19 million jackpot in FL. They took the cash and each will get about $600K before taxes.

I will be playing Megabucks today. But I play Megabucks and Powerball most of the time. I am focusing on Megabucks right now because of the lower odds than Powerball. The jackpot has not been won in awhile.-weshar75

I really doubt that anyone will ever crack the code for P3 and P4, because there is no code. The best you can do is develope systems that either work well for a period of time and then go to sleep, only to come back again later at some time....or use statistics in ways that help reduce the odds that are against you. In the end, though, ....well.....I think my signature says it.

I was shocked that this raffle did not sell out early, it is still going. Which is actually good, as I believe they draw from only the tickets bought. So far less than 175,000 is left. I also think it is stupid that the odds are the same for the $100,000 prize as the million. There should be about 5 more $100,000 prizes.

Last week I drove to PA and bought a $20 raffle ticket. There are also five $100,000 winners, 200 $1000 winners and 7567 $100 winners so the overall odds of winning anything are 1 in 80.

Did you know in PB/MM ...Reply
Because your odds of hitting the jackpot in that game will be increased incredibily. Think about it. You got a system that can eliminate over 90% of what will most likely not win the jackpot. But with PowerBall, you're STARTING with 1 : 146M. So at exactly 90% elimination, you're still left with over 14M after you run the algorithms. Now switch over to Indiana's Pick 6/48(1 : 12,271,512). Now eliminate 90%. That takes it down to 1,227,151.2. Now Pick 5/36(1 : 376,992). Eliminate 90%, you're lef
