Original Blog Entry: How the Cash 4 Life and Pick 5 fit into the new cycle

Since they require a pick 3 win to incorporate (Box hit for pick 5 and straight hit for Cash 4 Life), same rules apply... attempts can only be funded by pick 3 wins during the 2 weeks of pick 3 in the 6 week cycle. They don't have to happen immediately, but funding by a win is required, so the chances of playing Cash 4 Life becomes much more limited. Same with the PA Quinto.

Going to get the 2nd week Match 6 ticket this afternoon, 3 weeks until the next shot at the pick 3.

I like the cycle approach because the cost is the same and there are shots at jackpot money for 2/3 of the 6 weeks.

In fact, the Cash 4 Life may not get to go live again until 2026, because the goal for the remaining pick 3 shots this year are to accumulate 3 $250 straight hits by year's end and save them to 100% fund the entire project in 2026.

That would be the ultimate achievement for 2025. (Outside of a Jackpot win on Match 6, of course)

It is all about creating more opportunities to win on the bare minimum budget.

Now I can take a dive into the pick N program to make any desired upgrades and changes during these next 3 Match 6 weeks, and do the same for the Match 6 script while the pick 3 is live. I am also extending the window of Pick 5 (because the script does pick 2 through pick 5) to 14 days to see if it helps with the percentage of neutral draws like it did with the pick 3 (70% chance of an NNN draw in 7 days on pick 3 vs 90% chance of an NNN draw in 14 days)

The cycles are still variables, anything can be changed and back tested at any time. The logic seems sound, the interpretation of the data by Me is what needs to improve... and that is a work in progress.... [ More ]
