To track and research stats your home computer with a tracking program could do the job.

For me the final conclusion on what to play comes from two sources.

thank you Stack47 it's what i have been trying to say.

actually there have been only 175 drawings since Friday, June 24, 2005 when the new matrix was installed in MM. but i think pumpi has other motives for his super compute like taking ball characteristics and wind velocities and all kinds off the wall information and adding it to his idea for a program.

Mega Millions and Power ball use bingo/keno type balls and machines so there are no encrypted codes, RNGs, or formulas to decipher and crack.

Using the 5/56 and 1/46 matrix, Mega Millions has around 200 draws. Do you realize that it would take 38,000 drawings to create a data base that just represented 1% of all the possibilities? And that doesn't include the mega ball.

Is that enough data for even a supercomputer to project the winning mega or power ball

I think methods are more important than computer speed. As I have pointed out in earlier posts in the math forum I think combining several methods at once and make the software be able to determine which methods works best and combine them, is the best way forward.

If you're gonna do the job yourself you need to be an AI expert, statistician, mathematician and a programmer at the same time.

You can create your own supercomputer by combining several PC's into a special network. I think tha... [ More ]

In the future, they are going to use Supercomputers to crack encryption...They are going to go through all the combinations that a rotor machine has and crack encryptions...Now a days they got encryptions that has 100's of rotors but a supercomputer will be able to crack it open...

I understand somebody programming simulations based on past statistics, those can be known, but simulations based on mostly unknown (Impossible to know), How can that be programmed?

I have made in the past Possible predictions based on my not so good interpretation of a few very basic past stats, with mixed success, mostly without success, but that might change in the future as I learn more and better.

You guys want a super computer with a super program that's right most of the time. Most people would be happy with a super program that ran on a decent desktop and was close most of the time and right once in a while. With most pick5 games, being right once a year is fine and with PowerBall or MegaMillions once might be enough.

Maybe you could program a supercomputer to find out which RNG program the states with computerized draws are using and find out which numbers come out after a series of draws. However if they change the RNG program every draw, you'll have a very expensive Quick Pick generator.

Whether or not you could use a supercomputer depends on how you are approaching the lotto. For a few of us ( namely, me), the faster the computer the better.

While there is no way to determine any future draw, there are ways to determine some aspects of any future draw. We know, for instance, numbers repeat about 50% of the time. How many and which combinations would contain such a repeating number?

We also know that there are hot and cold numbers. How many and which combination... [ More ]

If you were patient you could probably do it with a slide rule. The problem you're up against is the GIGO rule.

My friend Pumpi.

A supercomputer or just any computer is just a very expensive paper weight and won't do anything for anybody by itself.

Without one or more computer programs it is not worth anything to anybody.

But you, of course, already knew that.

Pumpi. if you had a hunded supercomputers running at the same time there is no way they could just calculate what the winning numbers are going to be before the drawing takes place with just one ticket.

I'm not talking about a bunch of tickets one would have to play.
