No I don't run it but I find it facinating. BTW - Somebody in Georgea is happy tonight. 8041 was the hot number and it came in.

My Lottery Picker program is designed to run on a pocket pc so that I can generate picks at the store counter. It only needs to be kept updated and it uses quite a few different algorithms that I have color coded.

I'm guessing that website you keep posting over and over is yours and you are just advertising it. Admit it.

I seldom play the pick3 or pick4 games, but I know that not having one of the numbers pays the same as having none of the numbers and is nothing to brag about. You're confusing the pick3 and pick4 games with a jackpot game which pays pretty good if you only miss one number.

A member once posted 9 or so lines that guaranteed 2 of 3 in a pick3 game if the winning numbers weren't a double or triple and I think the same could be done for the pick4 in 25 lines or so.

I couldn't believe my luck. I played some numbers and it hit, but only once. I played a few time again and nothing. I just don't understand the logic. Isn't Lottery drawings supposed to be random? I posted again because I think I posted in the wrong section.

sorboni,

I'm confused, in your earlier 5:23 PM post https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/133348.htm

you post:

I visited a website, pickpatterns.com, and they calculate numbers from State Pick 3 4 loteries according to frequency. Does this work?

Then at 5:43 PM only 20 minutes later, you post the above. What's up?

Hello everyone

I'm new at this and have become interested in the conversation.

I understand the terminology, yet still lack the pictures in my mind to create a system to acquire winnings at a reasonable regularity. May I ask as to where to begin or face me to the right direction in creating a system?

I'm not a math wizard, just a regular joe who wants to know more on this field (lotto pick 3/4 or fantasy 5). As much as I have read in the past postings to create a system is so complex.... [ More ]

I use a method I call 'organized guess work.' I have a ton of statistics. I try to use the hints they provide, but in the end, it's just a matter of guesswork. Sometimes it pays off, most times it doesn't

i've read the last few posts, and i'm not sure what the confusion is

thoth's p.s. in his message is a bit misguided... the 1/75 for 0 white + 1 megaball is actually the probability (albeit rounded up) that you will match the megaball AND EXACTLY NONE of the white balls, IF YOU ONLY PLAYED QUICKPICK... yes, if you play quickpick, you will get the megaball roughly 1/46 of the time, but this includes all scenarios of white balls, including scenarios where you match 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 white...

Thoth I understand what you are saying....regardless the 1 in 75 is still misleading. Why include the chance to get 1 of the 56 mumbers if you are only aiming to get just the megaball which is financially stupid but is really the basis for O numbers matched + the megaball. If as you stated they are calculating the chance of getting 1 of 56 then mathimatically their formula is screwed up because it starts with an incorrect premise. An incorrect assumption as a premise then leads one to an inflate... [ More ]

Second the data of 1 in 3,800,000 to match all 5 numbers is filled with a lot of near impossible combinations like....1,2,3,4,5,....2,3,4,5,6.......3,4,5,6,7.....3,4,5,7,8..etc. So really the realistic odds are much much less.

I wonder why people think those combinations are nearly impossible . Even Gail Howard in her Lottery Masters Guide claims that the combo 1,2,3,4,5,6 will probably never fall because its too far out of balance. The drawing machines and the balls they contain knows

The odds are figured by dividing the number of WINNING COMBINATIONS by the number of ACTUAL COMBINATIONS OF 175,711,536.

MATCH PLAYING ODDS WINNING COMBINATIONS

5 / 5 +B 1 : 175711536 1

5 / 5 1 : 3904701 45

4 / 5 +B 1 : 689065 255

Has anyone noticed the inaccuracy in the mega millios data for winning prizes. For example it says....you have a 1 in 75 chance of only matching the mega ball. Is that not junk? All you have to do is buy 46 tickets and you are guranteed to be a winner.

no offense to all of you, but if you use any of these theories, you better be able to list the theoretical assumptions you're making, or else you sound stupid... no matter which theory you're using.

insofar that one assumes that the probability of drawing each ball is independent of all previously drawn balls (for that day, of course), and that the draws on one day are independent of draws on other days, you might as well go 'random

My dreams also have proved helpful about 33--50% of the times. maybe I just need a system for understanding my dreams better. Anyway I have had a number of box and straight hits by smple counting the number of letters in the names of one of th individuals in my dream (the person less important or less close to me). E.g. George Bush shows up in my dream next to my cousin Firstname Lastname I would get a hit for 064 (George Bush) or its combinations. By the way middle . Instead toy with a third di... [ More ]

My preference is statistical. Some basic knowledge of probability helps. If the numbers are truly random then long term patterns are an impossibility. If you believe the numbers are randomly chosen then look for short term patterns. If you think the numbers are cooked then you have to find the members of the cabal doing the cooking and make them talk by any means necessary,,,I have every reason to believe the system is random in my state--NY.

People who win with any regularity have a system. Calling it their lucky or favorite or fortune cookie numbers results in less hounding (from the what's your method? crowd) than calling it anything else.

My system is way too expensive to use on mega millions so I eyeball the numbers.I pick 8 sets of 5 numbers and use easy pick for the Mega ball. One of those 8 sets will match 2 numbers. If I am lucky I will also get the Mega ball. One of these days I might get really, really lucky

I have to agree with one of our posters whom says hot numbers tend to stay hot and cold numbers tend to stay cold. My spin on this observation is sooner or later the cold numbers have to play catch up. So I mix hot and cold numbers together.

A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search technique used in computer science to find approximate solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms are a particular class of evolutionary algorithms that use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology such as inheritance, mutation, natural selection, and recombination (or crossover).Genetic algorithms are typically implemented as a computer simulation in which a population of abstract representations (called chromosomes) of candidate so...
