OK, I just randomly opened a steno pad I post the draws in and started with a draw from about ten days ago and tried this out. These are the draws where I mentioned nothing had worked for 53 drawings. 

 This produced a straight hit six draws later.

Pretty darn good, lottolaughs! 

Isn't it strange the things that work? I'm going to show you something here,Coin Toss. I have been backtesting in 2 week increments. You were lucky to find that straight in 6 days, sometimes they come sooner, sometimes later so what do we do in the meantime while we're waiting? Can we expect to hit anything else? Let's take for example an Illinois drawing from 2 weeks ago and show all of the possibilities. This is the "+13" workout just so we're not all confused here.

039

After the "+13" workout I was left with:

027 and 292

Now I've been adding +222 (something new!) to these so I will also have:

249 and 414

Keep in mind this is just for backtesting purposes for now. This is just what is going to help me write the formulas for this.

So let's take all 4 numbers now and see what happened the last 2 weeks up until last night. I put them in order in relation to the 027 so these all wind up being boxes.

Here were the next 14 draws--820 250 320 143 624 131 431 123 267 652 103

113 292

Let's see what each number could have given us with a little tweaking here and there.

413  gave us this twice in 2 weeks.

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to show here. We're getting closer, I can feel it!

Hi lottolaughs!  I've been doing some back testing with the numbers in Ohio.  In most cases, the middle number seems to be off by "1".  I've only had one direct box hit with the "111" method.  But I've also been doing back testing with the "222" method you posted last week.  So far the results have been very good for the Ohio numbers with the "222" method. 

After reading your last post I'm going to try adding the "222" to the "111" method and see if that might even things out a little, especially with that middle number that seems to be just one # off. 

I can feel it in IL Lottolaughs!  Great job! Exciting and lotto-fun! Thanks!

Ha,Ha,that's my Rubi! Havin' fun in IL! That's what it's all about! Glad your likin' it, me too.

hi lottolaughs is the triple.111 coming soon am loving that ok.

Hi lepricorn2! What state do you play? Send me your last drawing and I'll let you know!

Lottolaughs, could you please post the beginning of this +13 method again.  What do you add/substract before you add the +13? You're coming up with so many methods I'm getting confused...no, don't stop...keep them coming! Thanks my friend!

So far for the back testing of Ohio I've come up with some interesting results.  50%-65% of the time the "+111" set of numbers yields some winning pairs in the next 1-3 drawings.  I compared those pairs with the pairs I keep track of for Ohio, and it doesn't seem to match any "dominant repeating pair".  But with 2 sets of numbers in the "+111" group there are only 5 pairs (one pair repeats itself), assuming there isn't a double.  Getting closer!!

I've tried adding the 222 after the +13, and it's not working out so well for the Ohio draws. Still more research to do!
