The "Search" Thread

You're welcome,harvest :) Still getting warmed up here...There's more to come!

How To Search What Numbers Are Due For All States:

Some of you may have seen my Hot Numbers Monthly thread on the Pick 3 Forum. Sometimes I don't have time to keep up with everything so if you're wondering how to get those numbers yourself...here ya go!

Have a list of numbers 000 to 999 handy. You can always type and print one out.

Click "Search Drawings"

Select "All States" Pick 3 Games

In the first box type 0.

Uncheck the "matched box" box

Set the "Display Results Per Page" to 200

Set the "Date Range" to "Past 30 days"

Hit the old "Search" Button.

Now you will have every STRAIGHT number that hit that began with 0. Start marking them off on your typed up sheet with 000 to 999 on it EXACTLY how they showed.

Here are just the last 2 days worth so far. Mark off 089,047,025,064  etc.....There will be many repeats.

Now go back and do the same by punching in number 1....mark off all the straights....then number 2  etc....until you're left with a nice chunk of numbers that will start hitting around the states for the next few weeks or so.

How To "Buckle Your Shoe" For Pick 5 or 6

If you've looked on the Pick 5 or Jackpot Game forums you might have found my "Absolute Hottest 4 Spots" for these games. Now that we know that 1 and 2 are the hottest pair....how do you find what's next?

3 through 17 usually follow next. Which of these numbers is hottest in your state...or overdue?

Let's take a look at CA Fantasy 5.

1-2 have started out 110 jackpots to this date. How do you search this?

Click Search Drawings.

Click Your State and whichever your pick 5/6 game is.

Type 1 and 2 in the first 2 boxes.

CHECK the POSITIONAL SEARCH box.

Set Minimum Numbers to search to 2.

Set the Display Results to 200.

Set Date Range to "All History".

If you count down the 3rd column now...let's see which one is out longest. Remember we're only looking at numbers 3 through 17.

Number 16,I believe, has been out longest. Last time it showed was April 30,1999! 1-2-16-32-37. It's a long shot but if you're into playing colder numbers that would probably be your best bet!

What about Hotter numbers? What are the hottest numbers that fall after 1 and 2 in California? (3 thru 17)

Will you search them or just count? (cheating!,lol)

Who has the answer?

Always a pleasure LL, Pogo :-)

Official lottery webpages don't have the powerful search engine that LP does. The California website used to post the hottest digit for pick 3 but I no longer see that even.
