JAG,I didn't really have any particular point in mind. I just started thinking about the flipside of RJOh's findings, and that prompted me to ask the question.We can analyze draw history in an infinite number of ways, but the statistics we come up with aren't always meaningful or useful. At any given point the numbers have to fall in some fashion, but I generally don't put much stock in such statistics unless there's a clear mathematical reason for them. Otherwise, they simply represent a snapsh... [ More ]

This is the test file for tonight's OHIO649P drawing with the actual numbers that would be played. I will check it after the drawing.FILE : OH072005 01 02 15 36 46 49 09 11 23 28 43 46 18 23 34 35 41 43 02 03 10 15 46 49 19 28 39 40 45 47 04 17 18 23 35 40 04 09 11 13 27 42 09 27 29 34 39 43 02 10 13 17 29 45 19 20 22 28 41 42 01 03 20 22 47 49 03 22 34 39 43 49 03 18 19 35 36 45...

Since the OhioSuperLotto 649+ is $12M today, which is about as high as it gets before it's usually won, I decided to test the same strategy and pick some numbers for it.FILE : OHIO649P(actual numbers replaced with number of its previous draw) 03/02/05 - 04 05 09 11 11 20 05/11/05 - 03 03 06 16 17 39 03/05/05 - 01 02 02 03 03 07 05/14/05 - 01 02 03 06 09 11 03/09/05 - 01 04 06 09 12 36 05/18/05 - 04 06 10 11 11 14 03/12/05 - 03 04 07 08 09...

Actually 07 13 48 51 54 +11 = 12 01 01 21 00 +14, but when those numbers are used in my lottery program they get sorted and 00 isn't seen as a number. I may write a routine just for them rather than use them as a lottery file if I find they have any value. Also as the program start its search to find the characters in previous drawings, it finds 13 and 48 in drawing #1 first, 07 in drawing #12 third, 51 in drawing #21 forth and it never finds 54 in any of the previous drawings and that order s...

Actual winning numbers 07 13 48 51 54 +11numbers replaced number of previous drawings = 01 01 12 21 XX +14Now all 56 numbers have come up in the last 46 drawings.RJOhStrategy needs some work.

This is the file with the real numbers. After the drawing I will check to see if the strategy helped. If it did I may play the whole file next time or get a pool of friends to play.FILE : MM071905 05 10 27 46 49 +21 06 22 42 43 45 +34 13 29 31 38 41 +03 01 14 23 40 44 +31 07 27 36 37 44 +04 03 25 45 46 47 +33 14 20 34 47 53 +26 13 16 35 37 43 +43 02 05 27 34 43 +20 04 17 28 38 42 +02 22 23

i figure most of numbers drawn has appeared within 2 month draw lines ,then worry about the #s really due then narrow down the pattern categories which i feel will come up like teens,twenties,thirties,forties,fiftiesexample 1st# teen 2nd# twenties 3rd#twenties 4th#fifties or forties 5th# fiftiestheres some other odds ends ways that get worked in but nothing solidmb is just the ones that havent come up in a really long time like #37(since 2003 i think) its really due,it cant stay 0 drawn

RJOh and aye, you've both got good points...just important to be on the right side of the fence at the right time.I'm working on a strategy similar to RJOh's that deals with the number of draws each winner has been out.Good luck to all...I picked up my $1 on Saturday.

....half of the winning numbers have 3 numbers from the last seven drawings or 4 numbers from the last twelve drawings or 25% of the winning numbers have all 5 numbers from the last fifteen drawings. Conversely the other half have 3 numbers from 8-31 drawings back or 4 numbers from 13-44 drawing back and 75% of the winning numbers have all 5 numbers from 15-81 drawings back. The advantage is being in the pool (I think).RJOh

Now that the MegaMillions jackpot is $145M, lottery pools are being started. Most pool just have an agreement to collect some money and buy a bunch of QPs and share the winnings, but having enough money to buy extra tickets should give some players a chance to try some different strategies to guarantee at least a small win. For example a pool of $50 could include the most popular or all of the megaballs to guarantee a win of $2. Knowing that half of the winning numbers have 3 numbers from the... [ More ]
