Okay wheeling, a set it and forget it strategy _(lazy) where you pick some numbers, compare, and get an idea of what's happening in a game.

I call it "neighborhood". It's useful for the higher digit draw games (pick 4, pick 5).
The first time I noticed this, I was at a 711 playing pick3, a lady approached me and asked me for some winning numbers. I played p3, she played p4, and showed me her number list, (5055 in particular) and said she was tracking that number for weeks (still hadn't hit). I didn't follow p4, but I noticed that 48 were a hot pair at the time. This is what I meant by neighborhood, she was playing in the wrong neighborhood at the time, when 48/83 were hot.

When I started Pick4, I always looked to see how far my numbers were off, which were on, and it gives me a clue as to the next potential set of draws!

Alot of times, it came back as 1-digit-off or a mirror digit off (same thing).

I remember one of the games had this feature [1-digit-off play]. I should probably look back into it.
A win is a win [in this case].

As much as you want to share all of your hard earned research, I know you're probably debating whether you should share it or not. I've witnessed you stay up  all night, all day, trying to figure out what combos will show up next. Not out of desperation for money, but a true interest in solving a problem that you created in your last incarnation here on earth. How dare! you remember that! Well anyway, thank you for not incorporating the fireball digit into the truly random formula to make the draws seem more random.

But here's a clue... (I think Einstein, someone's grumpa, father, or whomever said it...)

"When I've been in similar situations before, what usually happened next?"

It's like weather prediction: If it rained the last 7x the temperature was 70-80°F (ten years ahead),
it might rain now at 75°F. I mean, I think that's a fair analysis, do you agree?

And there's your answer. No extra weights, analysis, or extra stuff. I mean you can weigh scenarios vs scenarios vs scenarios, but never formulas vs formulas vs formulas (it's wasteful!)

Hypotheticals are nice for the imagination, but real world direct experience always trumps.

I can't get this song out of my head. It's literally been on repeat for the past 20 days. This and a Luther song, they're literally alternating turns and now I can't remember the luther one. It'll come back as usual.
