Trance,

It does not matter.  That will happen in a Lottery drawing.  Any effective system should take that into consideration.  If there were no (weird ones), it would be easier to predict the numbers.  LOL

Let's see what happens on Saturday. 

Good Luck....

John - LA

People who regularly play 1-2-3-4-5-6 probably didn't think those numbers were weird.  Since my 100 lines were random, they will be just as good/bad in any future test.  Good luck to both of you on Saturday.

Hi RJOh,

So if I understand you correctly, you want us to use your same 100 number sets from this last drawing, in the next 5 drawings?  I think we agreed to test our numbers on a total of 6 Lotto South drawings.

Thanks,

John - LA

LA,

That is correct.  My picks weren't effected by what hit in the last few drawings or the most popular numbers, so a different set of numbers picked the same way should have the same mix.  I haven't tried to develop a system for Lotto South, but I do play Ohio SuperLotto which is a 6/49 game but draws an extra ball as a bonus.
In my experiences, similar games work differently in different areas.  As I explained in another post to Trance about his picks in the Georgia Fantasy5.  What was a $19 lost in that 5/39 game could have been a $200 profit in another State's 5/39 game.
I'll be watching to see if either of you come up with some ideas that might apply to the SuperLotto game.  Good luck to you both.

trance

the odds of a 4 of 5 winner is 1:3,387.my 317 lines making a 4 of 5 has improved odds 10 times and more.

the odds of a 3 of 6 is 1:57.So john's $15 winning has just matched the odds a bit more.lets see If theres going to be a consist odds matching of a $15.To break the odds,100 lines should produce a 4 of 6 at least.The odds of a 4 of 6 is 1:1032,and the odds of a 5 of 6 is 1:54,201.Also we will see if anyone of us will make a 5 of 6 winner within all 6 draw tests.

Hi Trance and RJOh,

Here are my numbers for tonight's drawing.  It is now 10:43 pm EST so I just made it.  ;-)

Good luck.....

John - LA

Good luck !

Hi Trance and RJOh,

Well, looks like our systems or methods did not fair very well again.  At least RJOh's random picks won 3 of 6 three times.  Trance, neither your system or mine has been impressive at all thus far.  Hopefully we both do better with the next 4 drawings.

Good Luck,

John - LA

LA, check my file again, I show that line #24 matched 4 which paid $90 in Kentucky.  That would put my random file ahead of both of you.

RJOh

P.S. Those match 3's were worth $5 on the Kentucky website, which would put my payout at $105 for $200 spent.   
         

Hi RJOh and Trance,

RJOh, you are absolutely correct and I apologize for the oversight.  Guess that is what I get for looking at the numbers at 2:57am.  LOL  Big congrats to you.

Trance, You and I really need to get our act together or this little experiment is going to prove that random picks are better than your system or mine, and we can't have that.  LOL

Pick some good numbers for Wednesday and I will do the same.

Thanks,

John

Lottery Analyst,

I agree, having played the Ohio649 lottery over the years, I expected the random file to just match the *lowest prize odds.
6 of 6 of 49 = 1 : 13,983,816
5 of 6 = 1 : 54,201
*4 of 6 = 1 : 1032
*3 of 6 = 1 : 57
During 6 x 100 or 600 plays that would amount to maybe ~10 match 3's and maybe a match 4, but the file has almost matched that in 200 plays.  I also checked that file with the Ohio649 lottery for the same period and it did as well.  I hope this doesn't indicate that 100 randomly picked lines in as good as 100 lines picked using a well thought out strategy.  Trance did much better with the 67 lines he posted for the Ohio649 lottery on 09/25/04 and if it was the results of his system rather than dumb luck, he should be able to do it with Lotto South too.  You fellows have challenged dumb luck with intelligent thought and if dumb luck wins, I'll have to rethink the value of using a system to pick lottery numbers.  Good luck to you both for the next drawing.

RJOh 

No bother.when the system could make a 5 of 6 winner one day,the advantage will be very clear.

and I am sure that day wo
