  it is more foolish to believe in statistics, cold, hot, that has nothing to do with it and there we are all fools, stubborn, closed, clinging to luck and playing blindly.....

  But what about the people running the lotteries that love it when we look for consistency by their design are not there? Will it break their hearts if players stop looking for consistency or worse yet, if they actually find them?

  Because they pay less than 50 cents for each winning $1 ticket why would they care if players actually find consistency in their random drawings? 

  Is there any other games of chance where over time the house profits $500 K for every $1 million in wagers?

  Inquiring minds want to know.

  To crack a code, there has to be something hidden within the code, a message, formula, whatever.  The lottery results do not hide a message, there is no hidden formula waiting to be found.  If there was, it would likely be, "Ha ha, you lose again."

  Write a simple PRNG and put it in a loop, add a new seed for each number set it generates.

  If the correct set comes up save the seed value, move to the next set and repeat the process.

  Keep doing this until the PRNG has hit every past game.  Next take all the seeds and see if

  you can figure out the sequence.  This would give you the seed for the next drawing.

  Have fun play a few thousand rounds while you wait.

  P.S. make sure you have the draw order, you need to match that too.

  I asked the same question, still waiting on the answer.

  There are artificial neural networks which have been created to predict pseudo random numbers. Haven't tested any such a.n.n., but hope to find one in the Python programming language which can be used or modified for lotteries with computer draws.

  Over the years there's been half a dozen neural networks made for lottery, most around twenty years ago, never amounted to anything.  Joe Hicks with GH looked at one made to work with the old GH database, not worth including in the software package.  I tested one made for Pick-3, danced all around the winning numbers without picking them.
