A couple of years ago I developed a method of picking numbers that seemed to be fairly decent.  I got a good number of hits and given that I am only a standard member that's difficult to do with only ten number combinations.  With that said, I stopped doing predictions because I simply had no time to figure up my formulas and go to school.  And to be honest...  Who wants to look at numbers when you're taking three calculus courses, 2 calculus based physics classes, and three atmospheric physics courses?  Yeah, during those times I hated numbers, variables, and unknowns.  Simply speaking, I was already doing enough math pursuing my degree and I was tired of it all so I stopped predicting.  And since I live in a nonlottery state (Ala-freakin-bama) there really was no point.  I couldn't play my predictions and therefore in the end couldn't benefit from them.  However, now that I have my BS in Atmospheric Physics I can go back to my old methods.  True, I still live in a nonlottery state (and hate it) I look at predicting as a hobby.  I'm far from the best but I am overall happy with my selections and the number of wins I obtain. 

It is frustrating though.  Since I have not predicted numbers in a while I am a bit rusty.  That showed yesterday when I was one number off on numerous pick four predictions.  ONE NUMBER it seemed like in almost every state.  If I had more then ten picks I might have nailed a couple of boxed p4 wins.  I know... I know... I should upgrade my membership; however, with student loans coming due soon and me still working a crappy job that isn't going to happen in the near future.  I will do the best with what I have and hopefully gain more experience in the process.

As for the future...  I'm going to keep revising my formulas and spreadsheets.  I lost most of my spreadsheets from my predictions long ago after my computer crashed.  At the time I didn't think I would ever need them again...  However, I am now kicking myself.  Oh well...  I guess it's best to start from scratch because my information would have been out dated and a couple of variables like RNG needed to be accounted for.  Like any other person I will not go into specifics on how I obtain the numbers.  Lets just say my computer programming class opened a lot of doors in terms of data analysis and I don't really want to reveal my secrets. 

Some changes this go around include pick 5 predictions.  I have started researching the how to's for those predictions and will try different methods for certain states.  I'm hoping to come up with a decent system soon.  Until then it is strictly trial and error.

Good luck lotto fans!!!
