No I didn't. Not Yet. I hope to. There's a 12 hour difference so I have some time to post. The reason why I'm analyzing these states is because I believe I'm on to something that will hit the jackpot. I'm still fine tuning it.  The more state I test my theory or strategy the better. I do have a time limit when I will continue to analyse these states. My goal is to hit the Jackpot here since I can't play in the States. In spite that, I hope to have at least help someone see things a little differently and win something. Make no mistake, the goal is to hit the Jackpot. Nothing less will do. If the strategy is good, it should work for ALL the state IMHO.

Last night's numbers was:

1 P 1 S. No 20's. No ten's. No repeats. No PN's.   New York you're getting on my nerves. I'm not giving up yet. Let's add a new strategy. These are the last ten draws:

01-1, 02-1, 03-0, 04-1, 05-0, 06-1, 07-2, 08-0, 09-0, 10-2, 11-0, 12-1, 13-1, 14-0, 15-0, 16-0, 17-3, 18-1, 19-3, 20-4

21-0, 22-4, 23-0, 24-0, 25-3, 26-1, 27-2, 28-3, 29-0, 30-1, 31-1, 32-2, 33-2, 34-2, 35-2, 36-2, 37-0, 38-2, 39-1

MIA for the last ten draws are: 03,05,08,09,11,14,15,16,21,23,24,29,37

Most drawn in the last ten draws are: 17,19,20,22,25,28

Drawn 2 times within ten draws are: 07,10,27,32,33,34,35,36,38

Drawn 1 time within ten draws are: 01,02,04,06,12,13,18,26,30,31,39

Okay, now that we have this information let's see how we can use it. New York's seems to be selecting high numbers. I think playing groups is a good idea for now. For example 1-10,11-19,20-29,30-39. Especially for the PN's.  Since no 20's came out last night. I will focus on that group.

Here's my picks for 4/26/08:

23-26-27-21-22

23-26-27-20-03

23-26-27-29-37

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO PLAY!

It's easier said than done but Stick with it Jackpot! Your discipline and diligence will surely payoff.

I'll play a couple of tickets with your key 23-26-27-x-x but I'll also mix in a couple without those cold 20s at all. Mid-teen range looks interesting since within the last few draws we've had 4 -20 and 4-30 tickets drawn.

Last night's numbers were:

23-26-27-01-35  1 Ticket

2 P 1 S. No MIA's were drawn. No PN's. 2 tens came out so the "zero" trick comes into play for tonight. Play some of these: 03,06,10,13,16,20,23,26,30,33,36

A.MIA for the last ten draws are: 03,05,08,09,11,14,15,16,21,23,24,29,37

B.Most drawn in the last ten draws are: 17,19,20,22,25,28

C.Drawn 2 times within ten draws are: 07,10,27,32,33,34,35,36,38

D.Drawn 1 time within ten draws are: 01,02,04,06,12,13,18,26,30,31,39

We are going to keep track which group gets drawn the most within 10 draws. C & D each had two numbers.

These are my picks for4/27/08:

23-13-18-12-29

23-13-18-26-32

23-13-18-27-03

23-13-18-31-33

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO PLAY!

Typical NY - doesn't want to cooperate! And further, as if to mock my attempts to predict it, I was given a 3 number hit with a quick pick! I also had your 1-35 free play. Well, anyway at least that covered my money and allows me to stay in the game.

Now - Why did you select 18 as a key?

Just for the record, it takes me a long time to do a post. Don't think I just pick numbers without thinking it out. Of course I have been wrong most of the times which makes me "pissed off". But that's the challenge right? Sometimes I can give a reason why I pick this number or that but it would take a long time to explain every number I pick. Some are what I "feel" some what I analyze. My main focus is picking 3 PN's. If I can't do that the hell with the other numbers IMHO.

Last night's numbers were:

2 P 1 S. No teens. No MIA's. No tens. No PN's. I think for New York High numbers is the way to go for now. Let's not switch until we win something to boost our morale. I'm really sucking at this state so far.

A.MIA for the last ten draws are: 03,05,08,09,11,14,15,16,21,23,24,29,37

B.Most drawn in the last ten draws are: 17,19,20,22,25,28

C.Drawn 2 times within ten draws are: 07,10,27,32,33,34,35,36,38

D.Drawn 1 time within ten draws are: 01,02,04,06,12,13,18,26,30,31,39

06 & 26 were drawn from group D.

27 & 34 & 38 were drawn from group C.

For the PN's we are going to pick 1 Even and 1 Odd for the P PN's. Let's pick them from the C & D group and see what happens.

These are my picks for 4/28/08:

36-33-18-12-29

36-33-18-13-29

GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO PLAY!

Good job Jackpot.  I appreciate your efforts.  I think NY is a confounding state to pick numbers for.  Particularly to pick a wheel of numbers for.  At this writing I feel you can win or increase your odds only by:

1)Being totaly focused on this states game. Knowing each number's history intimately like the back of your hand.  So you can capture some numbers in a limited selection.

2) Being all over the place with your selection. Covering as many hunches, possibles, impossibles, should'nt be's etc..etc... This is a great state to pick "the numbers you don't think will come out" and play a few lines from there.

3) Luck and intuition added to the above.

BTW:  I like your selection of 18 as a key number.  I forecast it will pop any day as well.

BTW:  I was able to pick four of the numbers drawn on 4/27 for my small wheel but only had 3 of 5 in one line so settled for a 3rd prize.

You're right about New York. It's drawings are not even spread most of the time. For some reason it favors high numbers (upper teens through 30's) so it makes it even harder to try to follow a pattern. I think if you wheel high numbers you have a better chance. I'm still thinking how to deal with this "animal". Wheeling is great but can be expensive. Sometimes when I see what some people wheel and how many lines I say to myself " you gotta be kidding". I think ten lines is just right for now unless you have a proven "strategy" or "system". Thanks for the compliment. I will continue to fine tune my strategy. If you can get 3 PN consistantly then you have a fighting chance IMHO. My goal is to apply it to all Pick 5 game and then move on to the lotto games. GOOD LUCK TO YOU! 

Those that say each drawing is unique and random get plenty good proof/examples from NY Take 5.

When you use a strategy that deals with that randomness, then you will see better results.  Most draws do not follow in patterns IMHO. The pattern is...there is no pattern with half or more of the numbers drawn every night.  This makes wheels very risky.  Gotta be totaly on your game.  You are applying a pretty standard strategy in what you are doing and you are right thinking  you need to alter your approach. I don't see why you keep suggesting that folks play high numbers. The recent rash of high numbers is nothing more than a short trend. I forecast some 2 and 3 single digit draws to come out any minute. But hey, you can get lucky with any numbers picked.

Try abandoning your tight little selection for a night or two.  Let other mindsets allow you to drop other numbers in a few lines and see what happens.   Devote two lines to the "Wild Side".

It's good to hear diifferent insights on how to pick the winning numbers and in the end what will matter is whether or not we hit the jackpot. My suggestions are based on my inner working in my mind and flow. Everybody is influenced by so many things when pickng numbers, some by family dates, "feeling" or just a mindset that's unique to each one of us. Not everyone can see things the same way that's how new or different ideas are create. I appreciate your point of view and thanks for taking time to tell me what and how you think. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
