they ought to have winnings if you have two white balls....

as in the powerball drawing......

Long odds, Mike.

Jack,

The PowerBall numbers came 1-11-35-46-53+29 tonight. (29 reduces to master number 11 and 46 reduces to 10.) Maybe there is something to draw date magnetism for the 9,10, and 11 on the third draw of the month. Good luck on finding a way to harness the power.

aye'

Aye:

Looking pretty good in that way, Aye.  1 slipped up on me entirely this draw, 46 was rejected from my picks because I thought it was too soon to hit... I figured on the next draw.  35 was in the running for a pick but was a tier down from my picks.... missed it, but it got close scrutiny because of a series of hits 11/3/04, 11/27/04, and 12/8/04, then dropped out of sight until 3/16/05.  It hit again 3/26/05, causing it to appear to be on another cycle of 3 intermittent hits.  It's a phenomenon I call 'skippers'.  If you look at the draw charts you'll always see a few numbers that fall into that pattern. 

53 was on my tickets for that and other reasons.  29 was on the tickets, but as a white ball, and for entirely different reasons.

There's no reason for anyone to take all this seriously.  It's just a way of picking numbers that happens to work fairly well for me.  Other people have other methods that work for them, most likely.

Best of luck back atcha.

Jack

For anyone interested, here's what the PB draws look like on the 13 of the month:

And here are the 4th draws of the month for 2004-2005:

Smoke'em if you've got'em.

Your heading to this topic refered to the magnatism . I do think you half to consider the difficulty of being able to choose 5 or 6 numbers based on magnatism alone.

example: I have 5 grandchildern aging 1 to 10, I can baby sit 1 and control them with no problem, 2 little problem , but all 5 , lord help me they would be out of control, and I would end up in a strait jacket.

I think it is the same with numbers it is basically easy to determine 1 or 2 but all of them based off one system. or one idea. the element of luck is still there.

Mark:

I'm finally getting back to  you.  I appreciate your observations.  I believe there's a lot of truth in what you say, from one perspective.

I suppose where we'd differ is that, for me, the easy route lies with 5 and 6 number draws.  Things happen too quickly on daily draws.  Patterns aren't so obvious on the 3-4 number draws, for me, and they happen so quickly they're hard for me to see except in retrospect. 

But there are so many ways 5 and 6 numbers have to work together to come up with a draw, there are lots of patterns and there's enough time to analyze it.  Just doesn't work for me with fewer numbers.

3-4 numbers have patterns, I'm sure, but they're sleeker, more cunning, wearing a lot more cammy.  All of which puts them out of my league.  At least, for now.

But getting an understanding for what's happening with the larger draws with more numbers is mostly just busywork.  Seeing the patterns is an inevitable byproduct of doing the busywork.

I think it would be interesting to  see how universal the patterns are.  For instance, an MM player who was interested in the potential here could look to see if the 9, 10, and 11 on the 3rd draw of the month holds there, too.  I'm betting it does.  I'm also betting every other pattern I see in PB spills over to all the other lotteries.

But I don't have time to check, at the moment.  Got my hands full with my own lottery.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Jack

Edited in as an afterthought:

I hope I haven't implied I only pick numbers based on this aspect of things.  I look at what numbers have preceded every number on my pick list, all the way back to the beginning of time.  I look at numbers that with hit with each number on my pick list all the way back to the mastadons and guys with too little chin and no forehead.  I look at what I've called 'due' numbers, on the strange experience thread.  I look at what I call 'skippers'.  And I look at one particular other facet of things I'm not telling about at this point in my life.

Jack

Jack, Whew, another great thread, man!  Thank you!  Loving your "quilts". 

Hey, am I seeing what you're seeing ...... numbers and derivatives of numbers hitting in correlation with date numbers?  For instance, I keep noticing 9's and 11's and 1's popping up together.  I wonder if our terrorist attack influenced those numbers, or was that date carrying it's own magnetism prior to that? 

And I see even numbers on even days, such as 2's and 4's, and then 24's and such ........This relationship thing in numbers is a new concept to me, and one I've felt only intuitively, not consciously, for a long time. 

I have also noticed on Cash 5 in Va. where I play, quite often, esp. for a while there, the number of the day's date would religiously pop up nearly every drawing!  Now it's not doing it as often, since I caught on to it!  lol

Also, I feel exactly as you do about 5 and 6 number games, as opposed to the more confusing twice daily draws of pic 3's and 4's, which I'm totally no good at!  5 and 6 games "speak" to me somehow, and have a larger, slower organization ..... you explained it really well.  Maybe, back to that music vibration thing, the higher notes are more easily heard, such as pic 3's, but the lower notes travel further, 6 number combinations ..... like the way elephants stomp the ground to send messages to other herds far away, using the lower frequencies to travel underground, long distances.  I think the number vibrations are just the same way.  And b/c of larger jackpots on 5 and 6 numbers, there is a larger, longer, deepr build up of energy?

I wonder if our terrorist attack influenced those numbers, or was that date carrying it's own magnetism prior to that? 

Maybe both.  Maybe neither.  It's intriguing, anyway.

Welcome back LFT.

Glad to be back!  Missed you guys!!

Here's a combined MMPB chart of recent drawings on the 15th of the month.  MM blue, PB yellow.

PB only draws on the 16th:

18, 25, 27, 41, 39,  20, all hitting at least twice in 5 draws on that date probably doesn't have any bearing on how numbers might be attracted to the 16th of the month, but it certainly makes for an interesting coincidence.  Particularly since those are the only 5 draws on that date during that time period on PB.

The combined numbers from MM and PB seem less coincidental, more incomprehensible in terms of seeing a pattern there, if you get my meaning.  The various changes in color coding for the same numbers are only half out of neglect, the other half being deliberate.  There's no reason to make understanding what I'm saying any easier than it is, thinks I, for those who would happily glean uses for it (if it had any, which it certainly doesn't), and carrying it away to the PM huddles to kick it around in private.

Jack

You always make me have a good laugh, Jack, and keep this thing in perspective!  ha!  Thanks for working up the numbers for mega on the 15th.  I'm gonna go buy some tickets in a few hours!  :)  Wish me luck!  I'm going to base at least one ticket on this chart just for fun, if nothing else!

LuckyFox

Sort of interesting:

But maybe it's just that time of the month:

Jack

Jack, I get into a rhythm looking at your quilts.... then I see a number in the same color that is different and it throws it off.  I must be missing something?  There must be a reason you put, for instance 34, 24, and 17 all in lime green?  Help me "get it"!!  Please!! 

lft

Too many numbers, too few colors is all.  Sorry.
