People use different definitions for Lottery Math but lottery enthusiasts as long as 1/2 a century ago used the plain and simple 111 Minus/123 Plus Rundown. There is one thing to remember when doing Lottery Math is that you don't go outside the realm of 0-9 and the wrap...Meaning - no counting 11, 12, 13 etc.

Know that all numbers touch in 3 digit and 4 digit Lottery. No one Rundown stand alone. They all touch throughout the realm.....moving both vertically and horizontally.... [ More ]

That did it! Now I fully understand. Good explanation. Thank you.

As Time*Treat says, it's because you're always returning to where you started. If you always return to your starting place by the same route that distance is always the same. In this case you're always going back to the first number in groups of 10:

(0 1 2 3 4 5 6) 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (8 9)

Let's look at it another way. Using your same numbers, imagine doing the same thing with a clock. If you start at 7 AM it will be 9 hours until 4 PM, another 10 hours until 2... [ More ]

Ok. I think I understand what you are saying. So using the lottery math is the cause of all the combo sums being 10 or 20? I notice this only happens if you go sideways (for a lack of a better term) across a combo. If compared to the next drawing that comes out the sums vary like I expected.

Thanks.

It took me a minute... here goes...

what you are doing is counting up from that first number (in this case 7), and then you go up to or around to your second number (doesn't matter what that number is, we'll come back to that in a min) then you go up to or around to your third number (doesn't matter what that number is either, we'll come back to that in a min too). Finally, you take your third number and go back around to your first number.

In a base 10 system, no matter how man... [ More ]

Sorry D_A can't help with this one. I am mathematically challenged. Never was good at math......

Let me start by saying I am mathematically challenged. That statement there will probably explain a lot but I can not wrap my head around the following.

I was looking for a new (to me) way to filter numbers and I started counting the distance between the digits that come out in one drawing.

Here is an example.

Say the drawing was 7-4-2, using lottery math you take the first digit 7 and count up until you get to the second digit 4 getting a distance of 7. Then you take the 4 and count t... [ More ]
