How about the top 5 predictors getting together and prediciting what the numbers will be and that way you may come out with a Jackpot winner.  I've been reading the post and we have some awesome people working on predictions but having 5 of the top coming out with several numbers that they agree on could be worth a shot.

Cool idea.  But a lot of them don't post much, or are only into pick 3 and pick 4.

But getting some of the recent big hitters in the jackpot games to work together that way would be interesting and helpful to everyone.

I'd suggest the following predictors:

PadawanLotto 

 RJOh

 Rick G

LottoVantage

tntea

derek7

bellyache

LOTTOMIKE

I've put in several extras in case any of them don't wish to participate for one reason or another.  There ought to be five among those who'd be willing, maybe.

sounds like a winner.  I hope they decide to give it a shot.

I'll have to remove my name from the list because I'm giving jackpot games a break right now and concentrating on pick 3.  But it's a good idea.  Each person could post their 10-15 best numbers and you could look for matching numbers.

Jack,

You left Rip Snorter off that list.

Since top predictors make the list by posting predictions, anyone can track and correlate their favorite predictors posts and use the results. 

Predictors have their own systems, favorite lotteries and predict for fun and bragging rights, all which goes against the the team concept.

If anyone can use the prediction board to come up with a jackpot winner, good luck to them. 

Kidsmom:

That takes two possibles off.  My impression is that Padawan's pretty busy at the moment, so he's probably not going to have time, also.

My name, as RJOH correctly observed, was never on the list, so there's no requirement that I remove it.

But you're still left with a good group of predictors if you want to try and get them to do it.

Great post. I couldn't agree more...

Also the fact that they post independently of each other (we presume), using different strategies (we assume) lends added weight to their predictions. Any kind of collaboration degrades those confidence-boosting factors.

 Fibonacci:

I've wondered about that sufficiently to cause me to study some predictions looking for similarities.  I came away convinced the folks who are flashing the lights on pick 5 and pick 6 are working independently.

As for the question of whether kidzmom's idea might be good or bad, it seems to me that's open to question until someone tries it.  No way of knowing whether having several of those people doing it, if they were of a mind to do so, would make for better predictions, or worse ones.

I'd get some pleasure out of watching (some others) give it a try if they wanted to.  I'm just not in danger of being one of them.

If some want to do it seems to me there's no reason they shouldn't.

Rip maybe you could set up a channeling session and one of you could be the forecaster and the others be receivers. each receiver will write down the numbers being forecast. And possibly the winning combinations will be recorded.
