If our systems can all predict the winning combo on a given day, then combining them (or cross-filtering them and playing the 'common' numbers) would make for a great system. I don't know if you'd get 60%, but with p5 and up, you don't have to.

(Thanks to Todd for cleaning up the thread)

The problem is that of two systems predict winning combinations on different days, combining them each day may be counter productive.  If system A were to produce numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10, and system B were to produce 5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15, combining them would create 5-6-7-8-9-10.  If the draw results were 2-3-4-5-6 we would be left with a 2 of 5 match where simply taking the output from System A would have given a 5 of 5 match.  This would only prove produvtive if 2 systems consistently produced different correct numbers for each draw.

Ah, by "same numbers", I meant same combo. There is only one 5/5 correct per drawing.

The problem is, if each system gets a 4of5 then combining them could result in a 2of5.

Hi time treat I am an no coder with a system that needs to be coded,at 67 I don't intend to start, I use what is available on the spreadsheet there are in my opinion many people who can't  use code but proffess they can,the lottery needs a good IT expert to manipulate the system, I beleive it's not what you see but what you don't look for that is the answer,and have done what I needed to do manually inserting filters to get the result, you have to use the lottery system and throw it back at it to bring the correct answer out in my opinion,I don't know about the ways you are all using on this site,I for one could do with someone with the coding experience to motivate my system.

aberdeennut,

If you can convince someone who does coding for a living and enjoy playing lotteries that you have some ideas that really could improve your odds of winning a lottery jackpot, they probably would be glad to team up with you and code your ideas into a program.  It would a big let down to some day discover you really could have won a lottery jackpot had you only found someone to code your ideas into a program. 

@aberdeennut: I think many of us start out on paper, and as our "idea" shows potential (if I add a little here...) we get to a place where we realize the thing has grown too complex to reliably and quickly be one by hand. That's certainly true for lotto-type games.

The code is only as useful as the idea behind it. Poor ideas, coded, only give you the wrong answer ... faster.
