Well all the drawn numbers will be in there, because all the possible drawn numbers are in there.

But how to decide before the drawing which numbers will be drawn

Putting the 10 digits into an ordered list is the basics of most systems and Powertrails places them in order of digit frequency; either hot to cold or cold to hot. It's a nice systems to experiment with because you can use many different drawing histories, complare them, and try to find a sweet spot.

I used powertrails yesterday for the first time. I used a 10 day history and followed the example in the link Four gave. I've been off by one number twice. I think the key is to stick with it for a while using the same numbers.

I looked at Jade's system, but it's way out of my budget.

Stack47 — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 04:20:01 GMT

Before the drawing neither of them know what's going to be drawn so I'm just comparing 20 combos to 20 other combos. One is getting $20 worth of action and the other is making an educated guess maybe based on percentages.

Some systems target individual numbers, whereas some systems(like mine) target characteristics of the entire set.

If a player guesses that 2 or 3 of the numbers will be even, 2 or 3 of the numbers will be low, and uses that distribution in all 20 combos, they only have... [ More ]

Does everyone have the same chance of winning the jackpot?

I would think they would if they all bought the same amount of tickets. People can say that they have an advantage over players buying quick picks, but I read a lot more people winning with qp's then systems.

And before someone says it, yes I do know that more people buy quick picks then pick their own numbers.

How I got my doubles were to take the top two and or the ones in 6th and 7th place to double.

I like using the last 15 draws to the previous month to run the numbers, then play for the next month.

If one player buys 20 QPs and another plays 20 of their personalcombos, they both have the same chance of winning jackpot. However forsecondary prizes, I believe the systems player has the edge.

I can't say I agree with that completely. To me, it depends on the system. Some systems target individual numbers, whereas some systems(like mine) target characteristics of the entire set. Depending on the method used, the edge increase can applied to all prize levels.

Standout systems will vary by the game type (you didn't specify) state. An argument could be made that RNG vs mechanical makes a difference, too.

My 'method' is to discuss ideas with people who pay serious attention to detail.

Wheeling with a group of #s will stretch your $$$$$ alot further as we all know. But to win a jackpot we still need that genuine combination of all the winning #s on the same line. Smaller wins will sustain and or help us to reach that plateau if we ever do. I would rather have a taste and a sample of a win and imagine how it will feel when it is a million times that level. Highs and lows will always be there, just remember you can feel any emotion you want for any given situation, just depends

Maddog's challenge could be played for $12 using a 3 if 4 wheel and each powerball and megaball could be played 3 times. Players could collect twice for matching 2 + 1. I've played 12 QPs and only matched one number out of the 60 with no megaballs. Which is the better bet?

Players using a system must think they have an advantage over players buying QuickPicks or they wouldn't be using their systems. At least I always thought my system did that for me but lately I'm having second thoughts.

To answer the question, for the next few weeks I will be picking combinations using my system and pick the same amount of combinations using the LP Quick Picks RNG. I think a month of comparing the results of both... [ More ]

Saying you're going to win is positive thinking and if the drawings continue, over time all the combinations will be drawn. The methods of choosing the combos vary, but we all have the same chance of winning the jackpot when we buy a ticket. Because there is a large number of possible combinations, most of us will probably run out of because of the small percentage of combos that will be drawn in our lifetime.

BobP — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:48:56 GMT

Pick-3 sytems can be streatched to work for Jackpot games by using

the digits 1-9 to represent roots, then after you pick the number the

roots have to be expanded and their numbers wheeled.

Root

01 = 01-10-19-28-37-46-55

02 = 02-11-20-29-38-47-56

03 = 03-12-21-30-39-48-57

04 = 04-13-22-31-40-49-58

05 = 05-14-23-32-41-50-59

06 = 06-15-24-33-42-51-60

07 = 07-16-25-34-43-52-61

08 = 08-17-26-35-44-53-62

09 = 09-18-27-36-45-54-63

Power Trails works because when all different digits are drawn it will

give you 2 of them 8 or 9 times out of 10 and when that happens

there are only 8 digits remaining to close the box so it brings the odds

down to 1 in 8. With a good eye you can kinda know what it's gonna

do. It works as well as anything else I've seen in its class. BobP

This ins' t a system that will work for every draw but i narrows the picks for best selection based on the amount of history you apply.

The only way to know about a system is to use it exclusively for a while. When you're developing your own, you don't have time to evaluate other systems, besides if you thought any of them were that great you wouldn't be developing your own.

In my opinion it would be powertrails from one of our posters BobP. While this system doesn't create doubles. It gets you in the ball park and once you use it for a while you can decide which numbers to make a double.
