Believe it or not I have my old DOS Version 6.10 of LottoPro by MicroMedia Cascade Sierra.

Nice thing about it is that it still works on Windows Vista.

I spent hours on this DOS program trying to beat the Pennsylvania Pick 3 game.

I lost all my notes on how I set the program up.

Trying to recall what I did back in 1989 through 1997.  Coming back to me gradually.

I won straight bets with regularity using a system of past draws.

Past draws were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60.

Each set of draws that the program calculates will produce "stacks" reports.

1. Hot 1

2. Hot 2

3. Hot 3

4. Points

5. S.D. (Standard Deviation)

6. Mean

7. Hits

8. Since

So I would have a total of 42 pick 3 combinations.  I would NOT play these combinations but see how many times each digit occured in each positions 1 through 3.

The I would wheel the highest 2 to 3 numbers in each position.

So I would end up with 24 to 27 combinations.

Again, I would not play these.  I would look at previous days combos and look for re-occuring combinations and play those.

I though it would be interesting to post the Pick 3 combos for Pennsylvania Evening draws for Saturday, July 18, 2008.

Sometimes a straight combination will repeat even though it was drawn in the last few drawings.

 

002	102	212	302
007	107		307
012	112		312
017	117		317

The combination 312 actually appeared in the 3 previous calculations.

Lets see what happens Saturday Evening!!
