I think Guesser has it right.

I don't believe for a moment that the equipment is so perfectly uniform, that the results are 100.0% random. For each combination of machine and ballset there will be minor variations that result in some balls being *slightly* more or less likely to be drawn, but the effect is far too minor to reveal any trends in the limited number of drawings.

If you had a coin that was exactly as likely to land heads as tails and you flipped it 200 times you'd expect 100 he... [ More ]

PS - you can bet your sweet bippy that if it DID have an effect on winning, they would not post it.

They post it for one reason: to show that those numbers that 'never' come in - DO come in - maybe not in 'real' drawings, but at least in the test games. They DO get hit.

YES, I have looked long and hard at this (test) info for almost an entire year, and I see NO continuity in the numbers chosen depending on the ballset or ball machine.

I have extensive spreadsheets that contain A LOT of data - ballset and ball machine is part of that data, and I do not see anything like

'Oh gee, every time they use ballset 70 and ball machine 95, numbers 6 and 30 hit'.... that just isn't happening.

I thought the same thing some of you did - if you could predict which... [ More ]

RJOh,

I have email the MM organization as I have never seen test data like that posted on the PB website. Had it not been for another member, I would not have realized that the information was available. As to whether or not PB players win more oftern with that information, that is why I am asking the question: Has anyone considered this information, and has it had any effect on their winning?

Thanks for the response.

CountingMan, PB like CA SLP, will use test drawings before the draw.

My question would be Do PB players win more often with that information than MM players do without it? , if not then it doesn't matter. I'm also a MM player because it's played in Ohio, for me it's interesting information but I wouldn't know how to use it.

Good morning,

I was reading the following thread yesterday, and noted the testpb.doc file.

https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/146613.htm. Having reviewed the testpb document, the following question occured to me:

Would it be helpful in knowing the outcome of some the test drawing for the particular ball sets, and would they affect the numbers you would choose for future drawings?

In other words, do you believe that backtesting the outcome of particular ball set assist in identi... [ More ]
