There are other ways to generate a seed pick that have a statistical grounding but do NOT rely on the frequency of followers...

This is specifically for jackpot type games.

The first is to identify the number in each sorted order column... this provides the actual most drawn by position over all. (Pure spreadsheet analysis)

The second is to expand the countIf formula to include ALL columns and identify the top N numbers to have been drawn in the entire game in ANY position. (Also Pure spreadsheet analysis)

It is probably worth a test to see which method works better to focus on a path forward...

Because of the python script that can provide the numbers most likely to appear with a certain number when it is drawn, it is the selection of the seed number that will be the target of short term experiments.

The cost of testing both methods will be $28 on the PA Match 6. The $14 test on the follower seed was a $9 loss. But the results have been recorded, and will be compared with the results of these 2 tests.

After this, some down time as the big jackpot games get a history file update (not since the early part of last year!) And the winning method will get a test on the Mega Millions ($3 x 7 = $21) and then the Powerball ($4 x7 = $28)

So $77 slated for the next 3 tests total.

Unlike the dailies, this method only needs to work one time to be a success...
