If it helps any I look at how many times white balls have hit in the past 10 draws, 20 draws and narrow my red PB picks down from those ... which helps sometimes. Also look for skips and followers for potential choices. Last night that 5 PB came out of nowhere for the most part which is the way it happens in spite of your best calculations.

BTW, I've been suspecting 40 as the PB since Feb 18 in my challenge predictions but it doesn't seem to have reached critical mass in the white balls yet.

I keep a running record of what I've played each challenge then compare what hit to if/when I posted it. Sometimes if you're intuitive you sense numbers a couple or more drawings before they actually hit so your working records helps wade through that. If you intuit ahead of time then you can tell yourself you were correct rather than beating yourself in the head over not having them exact and timely. It is very important to maintain a positive attitude to keep creative juices and intuition flowing when working with all methods of number selection.

Good luck .... just keep going at it like the rest of us, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it!!

Oh, I have a positive attitude, and I have some pretty good charts of what's going on, the anamolies (sp?) are what get me, but I have come to expect them.   My thing is, I have a pretty good system going, but I am my own worst enemy and I deviate from it sometimes, and on 5/31 it cost me a pick 5. I HAD the numbers, I just didn't play that card.
PB 40 'has' to hit sometime, and when it does, it will probably hit twice in 10 games, then have a 20 game 'rest', then hit again....
