Power of Substitution
A jackpot game workout strategy for poor folks.
I can't afford to play MegaMillions regularly. But when I do, I like to 'choose' my own combinations (self picks) using a variety of data I've collected and organized into a paper/pencil workout that I call "A Substitution Lottery System with Gap Strategy"
Being what is called a 'low income' person, there is one important question:
How many dollars can I afford to lose?
Answer: $5
A second question is what specific base structure will I use to guide my lottery number choices?
In other words, which of 62 partial decade structures will I choose.
My evaluation of structure tracking charts suggest the next winning combination will have
four decades.
Evaluation of other tracking charts suggest the structure will have at least one B, C, E and F. One
decade will repeat.
Given (from tracking charts)
P1P2 P3P4 P4P5
CE 14 .. 14 D. 19
AE 12 EF 66 DF34
DE 7 CF 12 DE 54
BC 91 D. 30 EF 74
AC 82 CD 36 F. 67
CD 42 C. 5 E. 58
BD 47 DE 43 .. 30
AB 216 F. 48 xxxx
AD 32 DF 26 xxxx
xxxx CE 19 xxxx
xxxx E. 49 xxxx
(May not be 100% accurate!)
Based on workout experience, intuition, and other factors (see chart), I choose "BC" for P1P2.
If correct, then P3P4 has to begin with 'D, E, F or .'
I choose "EF"
Therefore, I'm betting that the decade structure for the next winning combination
will be "BCEF," also known as a '4-point structure.'
The method I use to choose specific lottery numbers follows the guidelines I've posted in the LP Systems Forum.
Too much data to repeat it here.
I've decided to choose 2 digits for each decade.
B - 16 18
C - 25 26
E - 45 49
F - 50 52.
I can play these numbers according to decade structures or via an 8-digit wheel.
Structures (hand picked and balanced)
BCEFF - 16.25.45.50.52
BCEEF - 18.26.45.49.50
BCCEF - 16.25.26.45.52
BBCEF - 16.18.26.49.50
QP
Wheel (5 of 56 possible combinations)
16.18.25.26.45
16.18.26.45.50
16.25.26.45.52
18.26.45.49.50
16.45.49.50.52
It's said that about 70 percent of the jackpot winners won with a Quick Pick.
I have a dollar for one.
I may risk $10, but chances are that I'll use the structure combinations.
Mega Balls
I have a workout whereby the 46 Mega Ball are divided into 3 groups containing 12 numbers
each, and one group with 10 numbers.
The specific numbers in each group are subject to change after each drawing.
Based on my analysis, intuition, and other considerations, I've decided that the next Mega Ball will be in Group B - 9.3.15.42.38 .........
I'll used the first 4 for the structure combinations, and add 38 for the wheeled combinations.
There's a saying that applies to lottery play - 'know thyself'
I've never been particularly lucky, so I'm not too keyed up on winning the jackpot.
I'm more interested in the 5of5 for $250,000, which my kids and grand kids will enjoy spending!
I'm not into odds, but, given my past record, there's a good chance I'll strike out.
But, it's always fun to try.
Good luck!
