I had only 20 minutes to prepare my numbers tonight, so I don't expect any fabulous results. 

I was mostly going for numbers in the first third, 1 - 9. 

Absent for at least the past 8 games:

1 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 8 - 9 - 15 - 23 - 24

See how the majority there are 1 thru 9.

My number strings:

4 - 9 - 13 - 17 - 23  QD

2 - 4 - 9 - 17 - 19    QH

2 - 4 - 9 - 13 - 17    KD

4 - 9 - 17 -23 - 29   QH

2 - 4 - 7 -11 - 23     KC

3 - 4 - 7 - 19 - 22    QC

4 - 7 - 9 - 17 - 28    KD

2 - 4 - 9 - 17 - 19    QD

4 - 9 - 13 - 19 - 25   QD

1 - 4 - 7 - 15 - 25    QH

Wild Card 2 Winning Numbers tonight: 

6 - 7 - 25 - 29 - 30

Wild Card:  Queen of Spades

I got 'em all, just not lined up quite right.  I had 2 out of 5 on most lines I put together, and one with 3:

6 - 7 - 16 - 23 - 29; with Queen of Spades

I felt strongest about 6 & 7 this afternoon, so I played it quite a few times.  I kept feeling a 'gray area' with the 20's, went back and forth with numbers between 27 and 31, including 23 and 25, but I just really wasn't getting a strong signal on that. 

The Wild Card game has rather low under-jackpot prizes so I didn't win much, but it's nice to get this much correct -- boosts my confidence that I -will- hit it someday. 

On to Wednesday....

All right, Number 4 -- where are ya?  Ya finally popped in to say hello with your friends 5 & 8, then 1 & 7 -- thanks for helping me win on that one, by the way -- but now you're being shy again.  Hey, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?

And why did you ditch Number 3?  It's been February 19th since we saw you two together.  Number 3 has been around.... but not with you.  Apparently, you just don't want to be seen together.  That's really sad, especially since I'm over here putting money on ya.

So you've been away 8 days now.  How much longer?  And which friend will be along for the show?  I'm planning on seeing you soon so come on, now, don't keep me waiting.  Take an energy drink if ya hafta.

The Wild Card jackpot is back down to its basic $100,000 -- Montana win last night -- but I am still going to play for Wednesday the 25th.  I still feel like following the main plan I had for the 21st, that it has potential. I will tweak it just slightly.  Here it is:

I will focus more on the first half of numbers, especially 1 thru 9. 

Will choose 2 or 3 numbers from the Absent grouping:

1 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 15 - 18 - 23 - 27

4 and 23 have been absent the longest (December, January) so I will work out lines for each of those.

There are almost always 'repeat' numbers from the last 3 drawings, so I will choose a couple of numbers from this grouping:

2 - 7 - 12 - 13 - 31

2 - 10 - 11 - 16 - 17

21- 29 - 30

I will also picking one from this grouping:  3 - 9 - 15 - 27.

On the April 18th drawing I played $8/ 16 lines, got every single winning number, just not lined up right.  I need to do better for tomorrow night as that jackpot keeps growing.  Now at $315,000.

My strategy:

I will focus more on the first half of numbers, especially 1 thru 9. 

Will choose 2 or 3 numbers from the Absent grouping:

1 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 15 - 18 - 23 - 27

4 and 23 have been absent the longest (December, January) so I will work out lines for each of those.

There are almost always 'repeat' numbers from the last 3 drawings, so I will choose a couple of numbers from this grouping:

2 - 10 - 11 - 16 - 17

21 - 29 - 30

14- 20 - 25

On "Two of a Kind" (numbers ending with same digit) I think the 3's, 4's, 7's and 9's have a good chance, but that's a lot to choose from so I will prioritize on 4's and 7's, choosing one of the absent numbers to work around (23, 4, 27). 

I will also picking one from this grouping, to go along with #21:  3 - 9 - 15 - 27.

$315,000 -- here I come! 

So Greatly-Absent #4 on Pick 3 (Idaho) really ticked me off on Saturday when it arrived with 5 and 8 - the ticket I bought just the day before but failed to purchase on Saturday.  I knew #4 was most absent with 3 and 7 but I decided to give it a few games before working it.

That strategy paid off.  This morning it came to me that I should play #4 with 1 and 7, that it felt the strongest to me.  I had $4 in my wallet, enough to buy a gallon of gas (4 days til payday), but I decided I should use one dollar on 1-4-7.  I would buy a box ticket, any order.  Just one dollar.

It happened:  7-1-4.  (Hmmm... that was actually my father's birthday, never thought of that...)  $80 is not enough to have a party on it but it can feel pretty special when payday is 4 days away. 

wheeeee!

So thanks, #4.  Now I'm going to work something up with your delinquent pal #3....

Winning Numbers on Wild Card 4/14:

10 - 21 - 26 - 29- 30

Wild Card:  Jack of Hearts

Comparing this to my general strategy in blog entry posted Friday night, I got 2 of the "green" numbers (29, 30), and 2 of the "blue" numbers (21, 26).  But none of the "red"/ Absent grouping.  I am surprised that none of the red showed up, but for Wednesday's upcoming drawing 4/18 there should be some Absents coming in. 

I had all 5 of the winning numbers, just not lined up right.  This happens to me most of the time, so I need to figure out where I'm going wrong.  MUST GET THOSE NUMBERS LINED UP!!!

Wild Card jackpot for Wednesday, April 18th: $295,000

I will definitely be playing.

Well, Number 4 finally happened, today at the 2:00 drawing.  I purchased all Box/Any-Order for:

134, 345, and 347

I was going to play 458, like I did yesterday, but I was short on cash and prioritized on the 3&4 pairs.  So, naturally, 458 came in as 845.  Ha!  That figures. 

Since I was ticked off I decided to buy nothing for tonight.  grrrr.

Number 4 is pulling the same act as #7 a week ago -- being absent for over 10 days.  How annoying.  Usually, I can plan on playing a number that's been absent for 5 days (10 games; 2 drawings daily here), but if it goes beyond 7 days then I know it's anybody's guess. 

When #4 does come in, what will it have with it?  The pair of 3&4 is particularly absent, its last showing being Feb. 19, so I'm playing that.  4&7 is another long-absent one. 

NUMBER 4..... where are you.....

Don't be shy - I've got $$ on ya!

Wild Card 2 = my favorite game. Jackpot: $280,000.  I am going to give this some careful thought for tomorrow night's drawing.

The rough outline of my strategy for tomorrow:

Will choose two or three numbers in the first half, specifically, the 1 - 12 range.

Will pick one or two numbers from this "Absent" grouping:

4 - 6 - 9 - 15 - 18 - 23 - 27

Will pick one or two from this grouping that all happened on March 17th, and have not hit since (because that is very unusual):

1 - 8 - 11 - 29 - 30

May pick one number from Wednesday's draw:

14 - 20 - 21 - 25 - 26

But not all 5 will be from these categories.  It's a starting point, a guideline I'll try to follow.

I keep wondering when #4 will come in.  That number is wayyy absent, along with #23.   So I think I will choose one of those from the RED group to work around.

As for the Wild Card itself, not sure yet.  I'll give myself a suggestion before I fall asleep to let my subconscious produce an idea.

So I won zero on Hot Lotto after following the dream numbers... but what's interesting is that I kept feeling a nudge toward the even numbers, such as 2, 12 and 20.  Budget wise I had to limit myself to 5 lines/ $5 (as I would also be playing Wild Card game), or I would've kept going with that feeling I had about the even numbers, working out some more combinations.

Winning numbers:  1 - 2 - 12 - 20 - 24 

I'm just writing this as a reminder to myself to GO with the strong inclinations that arise during the process.

Last night I dreamed I was checking my Hot Lotto tickets and got 3 out of 5 correct on one line plus the Hot Ball. 

When I woke up I could not recall all of the numbers but this is what did come through very clear:

HOT BALL:  3

WHITE Balls:  37, 21

So, naturally, I am going to work up some combos with these numbers for tonight's drawing.  :)
