That rag Lotto News has a chart for the pick 10 game, the digits 1-80 listed vertically, and the draw dates horizontally,and a black dot indicating the digit drawn for the corresponding drawing. After a few weeks of drawing data, look at the results you will detect a pattern. If only one could develop a method of predicting where the next black dot will land. Ive tried it using refracting angle projections,manually by eye. Mabye there is a way a computerized program can process the data and crea... [ More ]

Mabye if you took the last thirty draws- typically five games per playslip you would need 5 playslips then fill in the results for the last 30 draws, then arrange them across or vertical with tape. Next stare at them and pretend you are conducting a roarsach test then you'll be able to determine what the next pattern would be and play accordingly.

Hi reddog I am a newbie I am looking at one I have been checking it for a few years on UK Lotto you have to first make up a spreadsheet containg the amount of balls in the Lotto concerned in the Florida it would be 53 for the numbers and one for the days and one for checking which I will come when you have taken the time to enter twelve lines 6 For Wed and 6 for Sat,if that is the days they play, dont forget I am in the UK so it may take a bit of time to show you what is going to happen once you...

For Ohio Rolling Cash5, I went so far as to compare the gap patterns (space between numbers). I searched the last 600 drawings and below is all that I found. I once read about a (plus/minus) system where you just shift numbers a few positions up or down to get a winner and wanted to check it out. Since numbers and spacing patterns seldom repeat, I've added a feature to my RNG to avoid repeating both.

04/02/07 - 22 23 26 34 38

Ive done it for Maryland's bonus match 5 using excel for a few years now and the only thing i observed that meant anything was days where the numbers that came out yesterday sometimes the next day they skipped like if 1- 5- 12 -25 32 came out the next day they might have came out 2- 6- 11- 24- 33 or something similar. Sometimes there would be three slips. Ive seen several different patterns emerge but they were months or years apart.

The only time a pattern would duplicate itself is if the sa... [ More ]

I'm glad this subject I started is still being dicussed. I'll tell you one thing, if that Powerball hadn't been won last night in New Mexico I was going to playslip my a$$ off looking for some kind of pattern for Wed. night's up coming drawing.

But for now I guess I will start with N.C. Cash 5 which only has 39 numbers and go from there.

It may sound like I am chasing a dream but I have to have that one ounce of HOPE to keep me in the game.

I have photocopied the play slips of TN lotto five and back up and marked the winning tickets to see the patterns. It took some time, but now updating is very easy.

Does Lotwin Lottery Line Builder filters for the play slips of each state? I played PowerBall in Indiana and last year when I traveled to West Virgina I was going to play it in Kentucky and W.Va. and noticed each state had a play slip that was designed differently than the other two.

Lotwin Lottery Line Builder is the only lottery software I've seen that filters for play slip patterns. It looks at them three different ways horizontal and vertical. While the filters vary from 8 to 11 choices only about 4 of these choices are expected often enough to be worth selecting. Just as we know not to expect all six odd or all even numbers in a draw more often then roughly one time in a 100 draws, we don't expect all six numbers to appear on a play slip column horizontally or verticall...

The numbers on play slips are in numerical order, only five numbers are drawn so it would be easier to put the drawn numbers into a Delta or Spread and look for patterns. You could create a chart putting all 56 MM numbers into 56 randomly generated orders and it would have 56 rows and 56 columns with 3136 numbers. Check off the drawn numbers (280 check marks) and look for patterns where the five drawn numbers are connected horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

I saw a method like this on a Fred

If there was some prevailing patterns on play slips for winning combinations for any of the games, they would be unique to their states since each state design their play slips differently for the same or similar games. Most any good lottery program can compare winning combinations with each other for similar matches among them and matches of more than three numbers are rare. Even when the spacing (gaps) between sorted combinations are compared a repeat is seldom seen if at all.

It does make me want to say Hmmm. I know it is a crazy idea but just like questions,,,, the only dumb idea is the idea that isn't asked to ponder.

The lottery gurus tell us that most winners form xsome kind of Z pattern on the playslip (even if you have to look at the playslip from different angles to see it).

Still, hitting the exact Z pattern or exact pattern for any given drawing is bucking astronomical odds.

You might find patterns that are similar, like seeing 3 or 4 number matches over some time, but to get an exact match, that elusive last number digit that would hit the JP would be as difficult as tracking the individual numbers themselves.

It's like saying you want to find a murder suspect by looking for fingerprints of similar criminals with the same fingerprints. It won't happen because no two individuals have the same exact fingerprint.

An interesting idea nonetheless. I'd like to see... [ More ]

The main thing would be to create the spread sheet like the actual number per lines would be like on the playslip.

1 2 3 4 5 6

7 8 9 10 11 12

13 14 15

so on and so on.

Patterns on a play slip

Has any of you ever pondered the idea of wondering if there could be a program developed that could reconize a consistent pattern on , say , the mega million or the powerball play slip? Or any of the games for that matter. I don't have the computor programing knowledge but I know there are a bunch of you are good in spreadsheet. I just wonder if it is something worth tackling. I guess cash five would be the easiest with less blocks to put down on a spreadsheet.
