would you play last weeks winning numbers in this weeks drawReply
I track that, too: how many times a series of 5 WB's has hit 3x or more since 1998: (meaning: of the 5 numbers I have selected, how many times has any 3 of them hit since ?) But tracking that is kinda irrelevent: it is very rare to find 4 of the 5 WB's (in PB) hitting again somewhere down the road, luckily PB.com has a 'search' feature that lets you plug in a set of numbers: I do that after I make my selections, and if I have a 4x5 that has hit before, I change it to a 3x5. YES, I know

I can get closer to a win doing just all ODD/EvensReply
Sorry ....ment to say I must have been thinking 12,ooo instead of closer to 1,200. I thought we were talking about a similar group to the ODD / Even groups or something ... In that case .....we would average a hit every 444 days ! I like the hit rate of all ODD/EVEN groups better ..... maybe I could stay awake for those. Odds don't really change .....but probability does. In the future .... playing All Odd/Even combinations only.... several times during the year our chances w

Mega Ball?Reply
How can you wheel numbers with no consideration for the Mega Number? To get the best distribution you need a pick-5 abbreviated wheels where each number occurrence is balanced and the total number of combinations is equally divided by the number of Mega/Powerball numbers you're using. For instance a 3 if 4 guaranteed 12 number wheel has 12 combinations and each of the 12 numbers occur 5 times. You could use 4 Mega/PB numbers 3 times each with that wheel and get a 1+1 guarantee by distributi

Thanks RJOH .... I knew you would have some good insights on these. Thank for the effort there. It was gratifying to find the number was 37 All odd hits during that time.... a little better than the expected math average we calculated up there of 32 hits. Still .... + or - about in range ....pretty good. Between the All odds and All evens during that time we should have averaged 59 hits for both groups in Ohio. That was also gratifying since the real world hits were totaled 62 h

Hmmm RJOH.... ohio results are way below the normal expected hit rate of around 2% a year for ALL evens. Of course .... I am figuring draws 365 days a year too..... Different states may not draw each day. Still...the percents should stay the same regardless of draw amounts. Curious ..... was the All ODD rate as bad as that one ...the evens? The hit rate on those All ODDs ....should be averaging about 2.6 % a year. Yeap... OHIO looked slow on their hits .... for all evens usning 12

What do our people in LP thinkReply
Here's two interesting draws from the Florida 6/53 Lotto. 07/02/2008 08-09-10-29-38-53 07/23/2008 08-09-10-29-37-47 Odds of a 4-number win are 1 in 1,415 and yet here the game predicted itself a couple of weeks later. BobP Why says you can't win? Each of my cats have won the Free Room and Board lottery game.

A risky proposition worth taking...Reply
Also, I'm not cutting in to rag on you or anything My intentions isn't to rag on anybody either, but I did the math and don't see a large enough reduction in Tank's method to make it worthwhile. If tank can show me where I made a mistake in the math, great but I doubt that is going to happen. That being said, reducing the 56 numbers into 10 groups using final digits is an excellent tool. If somebody could find a way to eliminate 5 of the groups, the 56 numbers could be cut in half or as

$20M lawsuit against Hoosier Lottery gets class-action statusReply
Though the issue with the Cash Blast game was a one-time problem and the game has since been discontinued the lottery continues to be criticized about issues with scratch-off games. The specific concern with those games is that tickets continue to be sold after top prizes have been won. This is one thing that won't change though. All state lotteries do this, because if they didn't, they would have to stop offering the scratch-off games. It's all based upon odds, and there are a finite numb

Need Advice...for the Big OneReply
Dude, it's RANDOM ! YOU 'think about it'. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands have 'systems', and I'd be willing to bet hundreds of people have also developed 'your' system, but there is no system out there that can predict randomness with any amount of 'success'. Oh sure, tons of people get 3x5, but you go take a hard look at any of the 'prediction' threads on here - most of these folks have a developed system of some sort just as you do, and they don't do too well; a stray 3x5, an

Hey Sully.. Sure thing. Horses and Dogs make this lottery stuff look like a joke. Of course, the payouts aren't as high. But the odds are better and their is much more predictability in it. This CASH 3 is becoming a real joke! Talk at ya soon!
