Best that I've done with PowerBall in a while

I understand you completely ArtVAndalay. Some people here and elsewhere don't understand that a system or strategy always needs refinements. Because number trend change this is a given. I wish I was good at math and excel but the fact is I'm not so my strategy is probably more simple than yours but at least we want to share with others. Just because you haven't won a Jackpot yet doesn't mean your system sucks or is flawed. Numbers come and go in rotation so are very hard most times to get a hand... [ More ]

Who says that I've posted a complete system?

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been trying to help a couple of people who are applying my system to their lotteries. And one thing that I can't reiterate enough is that it helps to be good at math and the use of MicroSoft Excell. There are many nuances (subjective judgements) of my system that I really can't give a good general explanation to/for (being good at math and Excell helps in these instances).

Plus, please keep in mind that my sy... [ More ]

Hi guys,

Well its been a while but I won $663.00 in powerball this Sat., cost 36. I used lotto hat software. I have to say, it's missed on the last 8 weeks but this is good. I think I'm up about 20 overall with the losses.

That's well put, RJ.

I won't post a 'system' because there are soooooo many variables, and apparently it's not quite good enough, because I have not won yet.

I think you can only define a system as something that will halp you narrow down odds, point you in a direction, and from there, you need to STAY CONSISTENT in your beliefs. Of the eleven 4x5's I've hit, TWICE I varied away from something I saw that kept it from being 5x5's I HAD the fifth number, but chose another. Heck, I still do t... [ More ]

I have in the past posted unique elements of my system that I thought had real value, but the facts were/are it has only come close to winning a jackpot one time in ten years. If you define a system with real value as one that wins more than it costs to play then I doubt such a system exists.

I could give away my whole system including all the programs and data files I have accumulated over the years and until it came close to winning a jackpot most people would probably say it has no value.

Well, the last time that I hit 3 out of 5 with the Powerball was over 11 years ago (for a few years I quit playing the lottery altogether). But I've also used this system on the Arizona Pick 6 Lottery, and recently, I got 5 out of 6 numbers. Now, my system doesn't cover all the bases. My system does include luck or the element of chance as some would say. But in the last couple of months, either I've been extremely lucky, or there's something to be said about my system.

I wouldn't post a complete system.

A description of a system complex enough to hone 100s of 1000s of combos (or millions) down to some playable amount would be more than anyone would want to read. And since I have seen people argue over the most basic of odds calculations, (2 in 10 is equal to 1 in 5 -- -- no, it ain't) I can just imagine the clutter they would generate on a thread about a full system, especially on the days it didn't hit.

I do post ideas that I think have merit. These are... [ More ]

3x5 along with the PB is nothing THAT special, I have hit 4x5 eleven times in 14 months, but I will also be honest and say I have not won one of those in a little over a year.

'Luck', as we all know, comes and goes.

My bet would be if any one of us had something of REAL, bonifide, and consistent use, we would not post it for fear of jinxing ourselves.

Be honest with yourself, would you post a System that was of REAL value ?

I give hints from time-to-time on things, but like ALL other 'systems', they are not consistent, but if you stick to them, they do hit more often than the norm. And I refuse to do ALL the work for others - I cannot tell you what numbers to play, nobody can.

Lately, I have shared... [ More ]

However, knowing this information is of NO real use because there are still waaay too many combinations left to play even if armed with this information.

RJOh — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:41:52 GMT

When I first started writing my system, it was for the Ohio Super Lotto which had 6 of 49 plus a bonus number. When I started playing the BigGame and PowerBall I changed it to include 5/6 of 60 plus 1/60 to cover all the games I played and cover any future changes.

Having those features has paid off because Ohio dropped their Super Lotto game and now has the Classic Lotto without a bonus number and BigGame became MegaMillions which has changed twice and PowerBall has changed three time since

Whew! Well, I finally finished explaining my system , and I tried to do it in a way that most can understand. Of course, there's always the feeling like I forgot something. One thing that I could mention is that even though the system looks like it is very time consuming, I've actually automated about as much of it as possible using MS Excell. It takes me about an hour to come up with new predictions after I get the latest results.

I now realize that I made several mistakes in the 2nd se... [ More ]

ArtVandalay, I never interpreted it as bragging . I just wanted you to give us here some insights to your system and you have done that. Thanks for sharing.

Hello all, sorry if I came off as a braggot or whatever. That wasn't my intention. I've started explaining my system in the Lottery Systems part of the Forum under Here's the first part of my system that I've been talking about . Enjoy

Moved to Lottery Discussion forum

Please post in the appropriate forum ... thank you.

This topic does not seem to discuss a system, just the results of playing one, so it's more appropriate in the General Discussion forum.

ThatScaryChick — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:41:30 GMT

I kind of agree. I mean if he doesn't want to discuss how he got his numbers that is fine, but this is the systems forum, so unless your posting a system, a post like this should go into the jackpot or lottery discussion section.

My only real gripe was that he never even responsed to anyone's question with a Don't want to share it It's a secret blah,blah,blah . Some response would have been nice. Maybe I'm overreacting.

This is what drives me nutz. All five. diff lines.

Shoulda wheeled. I picked these lines by a narrowed down set, derived the lines by guessing around the last 10-12 draws.

Although it would have been better suited as a Discussion or Jackpot Games thread rather than a System thread, it would be a very quiet board if people only posted when they had some great new insight to share.

RJOh — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 01:33:51 GMT

Maybe ArtVandalay just got lucky and wanted to share the news. As he mentioned, this was the best he had done in a long time so what ever he was doing wasn't working until the last drawing and it's not likely to work again for a long time.

I notice that he or she hasn't given insight on how or hasn't even stated any response to you guys/gals questions. What gives? Why even bother posting if not to help all of us here at LP.

I thought the Honest Lotto system was simply swapping numbers in previous drawing results, which numbers were swapped

RJOh — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:17:35 GMT

Since the last PowerBall matrix change 275 drawings ago 36% or 96 drawings had all winning numbers that had hit within the previous 18 drawings. All five numbers have repeated in as little as 6 drawings to more than 60 drawings. Unless you track the drawings, you would have no reason to keep this information. This information is usually available at all websites that have PB results.

MillionsWanted — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:43:05 GMT

Looks like he got 4 numbers correct, 16, 18, 21 and Powerball 16.

Is it a variation of the Honest Lotto system

Pogo — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:34:24 GMT

Do the numbers always stay in the last 18 draws??? Or a different number of draws? Apologies, but I just don't keep up with powerball even though I'm in NC... I just shoot a few bucks at it when it gets high like everyone else. One other question, are they always stacked like that in the columns? Thanks for all the info, Pogo

I make similar observations but I seldom do as well.

so what made you pick those 5 numbers ?

Or did you just play 42 games and use every PB number available

Best that I've done with PowerBall in a while

ArtVandalay — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:07:43 GMT

Recently, I came up with a system to better pick PowerBall tickets. It's a simple system based on simple observations from past results. This is the best that I've done in years with PowerBall, so I just had to share. On 16 April 2008, the winning PowerBall numbers were 11-16-18-21-51 with PB16.
