They are some good stats there with a pool of twenty numbers. I am going to start on the cash 5 game here in S.C. . If I can get stats like that to work for twenty numbers I may be able to nail 100 thou.
I think cash 5 has 36 numbers to figure.

I hope it works for you JAP69.... If you run into any difficulties PM me.... I've learned a few things today that might help... Some lotteries you have to do one way, some another...

Good luck,

correct amundo there Rip....... 20 well selected numbers does the trick. I have racked my brain with this also last summer and through most of the winter i tried desperately working with only 12 unique numbers. Trying to keep my cost to win ratio down. I found with 12 numbers i could get 3 of 5 many times and sometimes 4 numbers would pop up in the winners circle. I was playing to win bonus mach 5 in MD. I haven't abandoned the 12 number idea just backed off. In some pre tests i used 20 numbers on 112 tickets and captured all 5 winning numbers. But when i went to the bank with the idea i failed to capture all 5 numbers for the big win. So it's just a matter of going the distance again. When i pick up another pick 4 straight i plan to take some of the money from it and try to win pick 5 using a 20 number wheel on 224 tickets. If that works then transfer the idea to mega million with a larger ticket purchase.

Thanks for the comment Four4me.
