I use a histogram, with the numbers that appear most frequently in the future, not in the past!

This might be unpopular but I usually do Quick Picks. I prefer numbers I know the machines algorithm is capable of picking. (Maybe Im superstitious but theres no such thing as true random in programming imo.)

When I do choose my numbers I button mash random combinations! I try to make it as random as possible so I'm not bias.

The more seeds of opportunity you plant the luckier you will become!

"And probably most of the winning combinations are qp's "

They are, but only because most of the tickets are QPs.

"I use a histogram, with the numbers that appear most frequently in the future, not in the past! "

Why don't you skip a step and just play numbers that win in the future?

" I prefer numbers I know the machines algorithm is capable of picking. "

Even if the game is RNG those QP tickets aren't generated by the same machine that picks the winning numbers, and there's no guarantee that the numbers are even determined the same way.

The numbers will tell you what numbers to play. Pay attention to the numbers.

When playing the lottery the one thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?

Frequency, Last draw hit status-is it a repeat, connector or double connector (within 2). Last but not least. Ranking...Each number is assigned a ranking for thier individual count pool...Which ever ranking is over due. That's the play most of the time.
