I thought the high and low ending digits was an interesting filter because it's not a 50/50 split but if he doesn't know how many combinations are HOHOH , I can't see how he can say that would beat Powerball even in theory.

If you knew for a fact the next Powerball drawing will have 2 even numbers, 3 odd numbers, 2 low numbers and 3 high numbers you could drastically reduce the combinations by 89%. But you would still have 376,194 combinations and 5 out of 5 only pays $200,000 and don't f... [ More ]

But you still need to decide what kind of a game you want to play, 3/2, 2/3, or whatever.

TODAY, the odds still favor 2/3, but that may swing the other way for a few games now, for the next 3-4-5 drawings or so.

Of course: I could be wrong.

0/5 and 5/0 hit 9 times or 6.6%

4/1 hit 25 times or 18.4%

1/4 hit 14 times or 10.3%

3/2 and 2/3 hit 88 times or 64.7%

In a 5/55 matrix, 64.8% of all combinations are either 3/2 or 2/3 so your statistics for 136 draws are only slightly lower than what is expected. 3/2 or 2/3 high/low and 3/2 or 2/3 odd/even are the most commonly used filters for wheels.

Here is the 5th pattern...I call this pattern the HN/LN:...HN stands for High Numbers over LN, Low Numbers....Here is how it works...For any game you select the entire range of the game 1-39, 1-49, 1-44, 1-35, 1-55, etc...And you divide it in half...In our case is 1-55...We then proceed and divide it in half, which is going to be 27.5...But we can't use 27.5 we have to use a whole number/regular number....So in this case we are going to divide it from 1 to 27 and from 28 to 55....You could make...

Now imagine if i added the Hot Cold patern

But it's still a 55 number matrix and even if all the numbers were polite and took turns coming out, it would still take 11 draws before all of them could hit. It's obvious when one or more numbers are rude and hit more than once in a 11 draw period, other numbers can't hit. What if the numbers that only came out once that are neither hot nor cold in that same period decide they want more attention in the next 11 draws?

then break down the wheels into triplets

Abbrev 4 if 5 of 18184 if 5257 for Odd numbers

Abbrev 4 if 5 of 18184 if 5257 for Even number

We have gone from HO HOs to AABs and now we are into EOs and I'm still unclear on what is the original 20,000 plus combinations. A 2-3 even number filter will reduce the total combinations in any Pick-5 game by 33%.

By gambling that the lowest number will be no lower than 26, the 3,563,608 combinations is drastically reduced to 141,506. And by applying the HOHOH filter, it's reduced to 3125 combos.

instead of breaking down numbers into groups, of 10, try groups of 11:

There is a big difference when using even/odd filters and high ending digits/low ending digits filters. Numbers 1 - 5 are low ending digits so if you determine the lowest number in any combination will have a high ending digit, those numbers can't come out. Numbers 51 - 55 are also have low ending digits so it you determine the highest number in any combination will have a high ending digit, those numbers can't come out either.

There are 25 HEDs and 30 LEDs, but when a HED is the lowest number, it's 25/25. In HOHOH or in any combination where H is the highest number, 51-55 are out too. I think Pumpi is on to something.

The various Lotto systems know which numbers and combinations have been played prior to each JP drawing. If they tweak the numbers, it allows for larger JPs to build-up. Once the JP hits around $300 million plus, all combinations will be in play and someone will win the JP.

You were talking about using 1 sum like 119 and all 33,312 combinations with the sum of 119 have either 5 odd numbers, 1 odd number and 4 even numbers, or 3 odd numbers and 2 even numbers. Then you broke down the odd to even distribution from high to low into 32 sets but only half (16) have an odd or even sum (3 even numbers and 2 odd numbers has an even sum). I looked at your even sum chart when I said 6 of them begin with an odd number , but actually there are 8.

That must to have been during the time I was in Florida.. Since things got so screwed up, it may have been because the Florida clerks were receiving playslips from those who were in the OHIO line and they were using the wrong slips... Makes better sense now..

The first place I went to, my hubby said, maybe they were just a relief person.. But after 4 different stores.. we wondered what was up with these clerks..

omg.. sounds like you were in Florida.. I had a horrible time at four different places the first week in May trying to play .. Seems like no one knew how to fill in the playslips..

In TN.. only five lines...

ok.. running the betslip over and over takes more time. Usually a customer will say I want 100 qp.. I punch in 5 with 19 repeats and the machine does the clicking.. and I am free to move on to do something else for a few minutes..

Funny!

I knew it wasn't a true story. I once went to that same 7-11 and said Play-4 please and he asked me Play for what? I said I want a ticket for tonight and he said But you didn't park illegally so you don't deserve a ticket. I got so frustrated I said Okay, how about a quick pick and he stuck his finger in his nose. I finally said okay I'll just give you my number and his wife came out from the back room and slapped me silly.

This happens to me all the time. The people are very inept.

One time I walked into a 7-11, and proceeded to hand my betslip to this Indian fellow. I said cash 3. He then handed me three dollars. I said...Why are you giving me 3 dollars? He said because you asked cash 3, and I give you cash . I said no...you don't understand...it's a game. He then lifted both hands in the air with his palms facing me. I asked him....what are you doing?...He said you want to play game....I said...What? He said... [ More ]

I usually do use play slips but sometimes they tell me the reader isn't working or the play slips I used in the last two draws are filled out incorrectly so I told him 5 auto Mega Millions, no Kicker .

If I would handed him a couple of play slips, the line behind me would have been here to Florida.

Not to pass judgment, but that's why I think every player should probably fill out a play slip. Then the chance of a mistake is almost eliminated. I've gotten a wrong ticket even with a play slip, but the chances of getting one from another lottery game are slim to none if you fill out a card. I understand that you feel you should be able to just walk in and buy your tickets, but think about how the people in back of you felt if you were frustrated

Tntea,it was only half an hour but again,this was a dozen years ago when the machines seemed slower. I was running a betslip through over and over, so five at a time. Now I think you can play up to 10 on a betslip,is that correct

It took me almost a half hour to get 5 Mega Millions QPs one night.

First he ran 5 Classic Lotto QPs then had to cancel them when I told him I wanted Mega Millions. Then he hands me 5 Rolling Cash 5 QPs and had to cancel those too. When he finally got it right, he asked for $6 because he checked yes to the Kicker after I told him no .

I gave him the 6 bucks because by that time there were 22 people in the check-out line.

There are 2 or 3 more further patterns i am going to post later on today or tomorrow that you can use to further reduce the odds...(One of those patterns is an unheard of pattern)...

pumpi76 question: Could you have bout 56,473.5 combinations or the 18,215 combinations and win Powerball

Many PowerBall jackpots have been won with less than 100 tickets by both single players and lottery pools.

How long would it take to accurately fill out and play 6662 play slips?

It took me half an hour to run 1,000 QP's for someone once. Better get to the store early

I mean if you can narrow it down to 1 sum total your odds for winning powerball (the 5/5 match) will be 1 in 22,589.35 with 1 ticket...But because we have 5 sum totals we have to multiply 22,589.35 x 5 = and this will give you the odds of 1 in 112,947...But it gets better..I can also notice that the E/O types, they are 31 E/O types which are:

An odd sum has either 5 odd numbers, 1 odd number and 4 even numbers, or 3 odd numbers and 2 even numbers. In a 5/55 matrix there are 33,312 combinatio... [ More ]
