Hello all!

Want to introduce myself.  I have studied the numbers for years now and am currently using my own "master blend system" in  pusuit of the NY Pick 5.

1) Has anyone on here ever won the jackpot?

2) How come none (or most) of the folks selling systems ever claim to having won?  

I know that I would never want to sell my system unless I first won the big one with it. 

Welcome to lottery post

I have not won any jackpot. Just started on pick 5 in seriousness just recently. Getting some lower tier money on the test runs but have not wagered much yet.

Good luck with your game.

I see you are from N.Y.

Have you ever heard of Urban Kress.

He use to do an article in the old N.Y. lottery news. Quite a stats keeper he was or still is.

Yes I follow Urbans column.  I wonder if he himself has ever won.  He only lists one winner(all five numbers) on his site.

I know of one guy that won $100,000 in 5/37 game using his system. He keyed 3 numbers with the other 34 using 17 combinations and had 16 3 of 5 matches too.

Most system for sale are usually more complicated than picking 3 numbers and his win was the method of play and lots of luck. I don't think any of them will consistently give you 5 out of 20 numbers; more or less offering different ways to choose your numbers.

If I found a method that consistently choose 4 numbers out of 15, I would discuss it here on LP and maybe somebody would offer a simple solution for finding that 5th number.

I would like to point out that my system doesn't limit the wheeled numbers to (15), but with sum range filtering it accomplishes lowering the amount of wagered tickets to an affordable amount, positions the wagered numbers in a more favorable sum range for a potential win, and covers most of the entire set of numbers in the matrix.

The disturbing fact is, with all the comments regarding the lack of any viable system for pick 5 lotto here at LP, there isn't one comment or question regarding my system which I have taken the time presenting in detail for the benefit of all members up to and including the chief bottle washer.

Maybe thats the exact reason others with viable ideas haven't got the guts to venture out and present anything worthwhile here on LP!

I know this ignorant question has been asked repeatedly here on LP, but I have not found a response where someone claimed to have won.

I can tell you that thus far (with my new system...over the last 6 weeks) I have won 2nd prize (4 out of 5 and came very close to getting all 5...only two numbers off) from the big one.  If I had selected the number 18 instead of 20..I would have had it.  Last night, I had 3 of 5 on two games. 

 Wheeling bothers me in that it limits you to a small portion of numbers.  If they do not come out, your screwed.  So regarding wheeling, I instead pick separate sets (groups of numbers and do some wheeling) as part of my plan.  I try to deal with the randomness of the way numbers come out. 

"I can tell you that thus far (with my new system...over the last 6 weeks) I have won 2nd prize (4 out of 5 and came very close to getting all 5...only two numbers off) from the big one."

If you hit four numbers in Pick-5, you were one number off. You probably had a reason to include the number 20 and when it didn't hit, a number 10 numbers off would have the same effect. 

"Wheeling bothers me in that it limits you to a small portion of numbers.  If they do not come out, your screwed."

I played a 3if5 of 15 wheel and trapped all 5 numbers and got exactly what the wheel guaranteed; one 3 out of 5 and I've caught 4 numbers in the same line playing a 3if4 wheel. It doesn't seem to make any sense getting a bigger win catching one number less, but that is what we have to consider before choosing which wheel to play. 

If you're getting 3 number hits and an occasional 4, you're on the right track and maybe next time 20 will hit instead of 18.

Wecome to LP!

Just an observation: the majority of pick-5 players on LP probably play Mega Millions or Powerball. And the few of us that do play games like Rolling Cash 5 or Fantasy 5 know we can't continue playing around $20 a day only catching 2 or 3 out of 5.

Some people want systems where you type in a group of results, hit enter, get 10 combinations, fill out a play slip, bet 10 bucks and collect the jackpot prize the next day. Anything short of that is too complicated for them so they don't ask any questions. The other day I saw a test in the systems forum that said "see if 1 of these 50 combinations in the pick-3 gets a box hit in the next 7 days". With 2 draws a day in Ohio, you would lose money getting 1 hit a day but after 1 hit in 3 days, everybody wants to know how they did that.

I guess what I'm saying is people want to look at list of 50 combinations and pick out 2 or 3 to play and not get any more complicated than that. 

With p5 games, you're looking at hundreds of thousands of combos or more. Any system sophisticated enough to whittle that down to a few hundred combos (or less) is going to be too sophisticated to explain in detail in a few paragraghs.

Most of the people clever enough to understand a full explanation will have their own systems. Most of the ones looking for a system will lack the patience to study one so complex.
