This has to be one of the better discussions I have seen as this is EXACATLY the kinda thinking I have. I agree with the filter idea and it drives me nuts when you see things like NY's take 5 on 10/15 10/16 ALL OLD each day??? Anyone playing with a filter will have thrown an all old group out as they are very unlikely to hit. Much less 2 times in a row!!! Or on 10/9 where 1-2-7-9-35 came out, 4 from one set? I am now looking for 5 numbers from one group - 1 2 3 4 5 ...

Seems to me, the smart thing to do is hunt where the game is. While it's true that the strange combos fall on occasion, making system filters wide enough to catch them also lets in a lot of junk. From a budget point of view, it's better to miss on a win because a filter was a bit too tight, than to lose because your filters are too loose to play all the numbers they generate (and the winner was in the part of the list you didn't play) Less expensive, too.

This is the same way companies... [ More ]

True, but in order to win, you have to be in the hunt, be a bit closer, play what are 'better' choices.

Four consecutive is indeed very rare, and so is having four numbers from one group (in this case, 11 thru 20) - it's happened, but not enough for me to give it serious consideration.

For me, though, I'd still aim for the 'better odds' of two numbers from one group, a 2/3 or a 3/2, and other things like that. But that's just me. That doesn't mean I NEVER play 2 groups hitting, or three nu... [ More ]

What we really know is most combinations have 2 or 3 odds numbers, most games are won by QPs and less than 5% of all lottery tickets sold ever win anything but that doesn't mean if we buy more than 20 QPs with 2 or 3 odd numbers in each combination that at least one of the tickets will win something.

The fact that many jackpot roll several drawings or at best have only one winner mean a lot of educated lottery players aren't playing or their educations aren't helping them pick the winning c... [ More ]

No doubt about what you and Badger are saying. It's mainly that some filtering has to be done to make a playable set within budget, and the oddball sets, while they do sometimes fall, are usually safe to eliminate. I am certain that many of us have come up with systems that while ultimately profitable (would have) required too many combinations to play at once .... sending us back to the question of what to filter out.

guesser — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 03:45:42 GMT

But would an 'educated' lottery player choose those numbers ?

When we know most games are a 2/3 or a 3/2 ?

When we know most games have just TWO numbers from any one group ?

When we already know the tendencies of oh-so-many-more different things to look for or 'bet against' ?

Yeah, you can play 1-2-3 or 11-12-13-14, or whatever, but I'd be playing the 'typical' game of something like 21-22-24 or 31-33-38 or some combination of three numbers from any one group. Actually, the odds are... [ More ]

That is so true. When a group of consecutive numbers are compared with any other group, they generally have won as often as any group that has not won a jackpot. For example the group 01 02 03 04 05 06 in the last 200 drawings of MegaMillions have matched:

0+1 = 118 times

1+1 = 6 times

2+1 = 1 time

3+0 = 2 times

and the six most popular numbers 05 07 25 40 46 48 in the last 200 drawings have matched:

0+1 = 5 times

1+1 = 12 times

2+1 = 1 time

3+0 = 5 times

3+1 = 1 time.

You are so right! Every draw has something you would have filtered it out for, like the above. BobP

Now here's something that Gail Howard would never, ever do....according to her.

This is the draw on our state 6/39 game for tonight

12-13-14-15-29-33

Four consecutives !

After years of following the sane and logical method of statistics, I have widened myself to understand that on any given draw illogical combinations can and do happen. I no longer fret about a wheel, for example, that gives me a line or two that have low probabilities of being drawn. Statistics only hold true... [ More ]

Good or bad, a lottery system should simply analyze all available data and display all the information in ways that's most useful to the players.

In the last 200 PowerBall drawings 50% of the time all five numbers had hit in the previous 6-22 drawings. Knowing that information along with knowing #6 hasn't hit in 42 drawings is equally important to players deciding which numbers to play.

Every system is bad - until it is good.

What is it Gretzky said ? 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take' ?

Believe me folks, if there was a foolproof way to win the lottery, the lottery would cease to exist.

All we can do is try things to lessen the odds in our favor, but as I have said ad nauseum, there isn't much difference (to me) between 1/146 million and 1/20 million.. or even 1/one million. Luck is either with you, or not.

You still can't win if you don't play,... [ More ]

So far #6 has only gone 42 drawings without a hit, #18 went 54 drawings without a hit before it was last drawn 5 drawings ago.

There's all kinds of ways a player can increase his odds of having all the winning numbers short of playing all the possible combinations but most players are limited by their budget. Players use software hoping to get the best odds their budget can afford and there's where most software fail, they only give the player enough information to make a bad guess and hope... [ More ]

I know most of her highly-touted winners won back in the 80's and early 90's.

Please note I said 'most', not 'all'......

I should write a book on the subject, as hers 'seems to' be the only ones out there.

There are all kinds of things a person can do to increase their odds overall, but I am NOT convinced ANY method will help you pick all - or even half - of the Powerball numbers, THAT will take some educated guessing - and a lot of luck.

Heck, I don't think ANY system will help you... [ More ]

I have never seen any statements by GH claiming she actually make money off her software other than selling it. On her website, she claims a lot of players win money using her software but it's not mentioned how many lose money using it. It could be the percent of players winning using her software is the same a those buying quick picks.

At least when she sells her software, unlike buying lottery tickets every sales is a winner.

Does GH make as much money on her systems as she does on the lollipops that buy them from her? Perhaps that is the true road to lotto riches...

I track the same things on an Excel spreadsheet, and I am seeing things her 'skip' tips and theories do not cover.

Think along the lines of 'probability of an X set of skips to repeat - or not'.

RJOh — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 19:42:51 GMT

I think those tips are suggesting not playing numbers that have hit in the previous 5 drawings, however if you're playing a game like WVA Cash25 which only have a pool of 25 numbers for combinations of sixes, it's likely that would include all 25 numbers.

Those tips might be more helpful if you're playing PB and MM which have number pools of 55 and 56. In the last 200 drawings for those games 10% and 8.5% of the winning combinations had no numbers from the previous 5 drawings and by eliminati... [ More ]

From your table, it looks like skip 2 did not fall in the last five draws. Skip 0 fell in draw 5 (at the bottom of the table), skip 1 fell in draws 2, 3 and 5, skip 3 fell in draws 2 and 4, skip 4 fell in draw 3 and skip 5 fell in draw 5.

Now, for your next draw look at chart B41 (at main menu type B, then F4, then 1) this will show you all the numbers in your game that are OUT (skipped) the draws 0 thru 5. Play the numbers OUT 2. That is the way I understand and use the hint. Usually good fo... [ More ]
