Thanks RJ. Just a little something I threw together last night. I PM'd Todd to see if he would like to host it here on LP, otherwise I'll decide if my web space will be decent for hosting the downloadable app. The only problem with my web space is that I am re-designing my site (and name) here shortly, since it's based on a half-built Flash application which I no longer develop in.

I have just come up with a Jackpot Games Basic Universal Filter System, I will let you know about it, it is not so basic at all compared with the above, but basic when compared with some of the most complicated filter systems, but it has plenty of possible filtering power and can be applied to most jackpot games maybe from:

4, 4 + 1, 5, 5 + 1, 6 and 6 + 1, that should cover most games and maybe from 00 and or 01 up to 99 for main balls and 00 and or 01 to 99 for bonus ball, with a p... [ More ]

Lotto Buster has a full working trial program Steve33825. I think its a 10 or 14 day trial. It has a ton of information in it. Hot, cold, neutral, and pattern analysis to start. Its a great program. Only $40 bucks if you want to buy it.

I am new here also. I hope to gain some more skills on numbers analysis. I am working on the Calif Fantasy 5 at the moment.

Alrighty, I'm just about done with an .exe Windows Application for creating 'full wheels'. It also has a 'Calculate Combinations' function that will allow you to calculate odds (or total number of tickets) for any input of Numbers Per Ticket, Max Ball, and Bonus Ball Count. ..Well almost any, it will calculate anything up to (and slightly over) 6 numbers per ticket with 300 balls and 50 bonus balls (1:48,141,142,335,000 by the way), which should be plenty. The application prints all combinations... [ More ]

We will talk, but I have to go now.

It should be or might be easier to filter for pick 3 games and you should as they are the basic game and the basic filters, you can learn with them.

Bye for now.

Sounds good. I am from CT, but we also have pick 3/4 twice daily. I haven't been down the road there for filtering yet, just started with general filters I have been applying to jackpot games. I'll take a look see when I can.

I don't make software by myself, I don't know how, I give people like you ideas and you all make the software.

You are from NY and there is pick 3 and 4 there, Right?

To start to learn about filters I suggest that you first look at pick 3 filters software and then at jackpot filters software and then go from there, we will talk sometime, maybe soon, but in private.

Stew12 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 02:46:33 GMT

I like your strategies. I am still new to the filtering game and haven't applied that much code (or research) to it yet. ..At this point I simply throw a few filters at my ticket selections based on general stats, but I will defintely be looking into it in more detail in the near future.

Should you ever come up with something that proves great and need a bit of code (not sure if you write software or not), feel free to shoot some ideas my way

LANTERN — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 02:42:07 GMT

But due to the obvious reasons, one is not as free to talk about jackpot games as one is about pick 3 games and good programs can not be made public for the same reasons, winning is already hard enough to do and competition is very high also.

Yes, but that is, because most combos are in those sums, that equals very little filtering power.

That is not how one filters, filter as you would on a pick 3 game more or less, but adapted to jackpot games.

Look at my last post for example.

-----

Filter according to the make-up of the game and the stats of the filter patterns, but not in that way, filter out individual sums and groups of sums for example, according to stats.

Stew12 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 02:19:01 GMT

I see what you're saying. The tricky part is to find the right combination of filters that reduces yout ticket output, but also allows a high amount of winning combinations through. Finding filters that match all winning draws and also reduce your ticket choices by a significant amount is difficult.

For example, in PB 84.88% of all winners have fit the sum range of 100-200 (292 of 344 draws).

LANTERN — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:43:54 GMT

If a game has somethimg like from 15 to 250 or so sums, one might not want to Band-Pass filter a range such as allowing the 100 to 200 of the sums, as perhaps most of the combos are in that sums' range, there might be little filtration there and you might cut out the winning combo.

That is what I am saying not to do.

You need stats per all individual sums and also for particular groups of sums and then you filter out sums and or particular ranges in accord to what you see on the stats, jus... [ More ]

you should be able to filter individual sums and groups of sums and other things that I don't much like to talk about.

Got some trade secrets eh? hehe.

I agree. I typically filter groups of sums, usually for MM and PB I user fairly vague filters (along with other filters, naturally) somewhere in the range of allowing anything from 100 to 200.

Thanks a lot!

Now 100, 000 combos it is sure much smaller than 4, 000, 000 combos!

You maybe can hope to filter down 100 000 combos with the right stats and the right filter program, but that might be much harder to do to 4 Million combos.

One must know the stats such as How many combos per each pattern of each filter? and must also have the stats of the history for those patterns for many filters, then you might have a chance.

For example the Sums filter is not to be used as you see... [ More ]

So now please How many combos for a 28 number wheel

98,280 combinations.

The algorithm for combinations in a full wheel is 28!/(5!*(28-5)!), where ! stands for Factorial.

For a 20 number wheel with 5 picks it would be 20!/(5!*(20-5)!), etc.

LANTERN — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 01:00:16 GMT

but if a person was to cut down the numbers in half from 56 it would be 28, it is more likely that for a MM and still get the winnin gnumbers maybe than just 20.

Sounds about right for a text file without line numbers. With line numbers, it would be half again that size - about 85Mb. Easiest way I've found to transfer files of this size is to load the text file onto a CD-R/W and mail it.

With the MegaBall included there's no way currently to include all the combinations in just one file - it'd be just too big - in the area of 3.5Gb+.

I have a similar file that I use. It contains all possible 5+0 combonations. The only problem is that its a 56MB file, that contains 3,819,816 lines. If you're interested i'm sure I could find some way to share it with you.

a text file or something of all possible mega million number combinations

Looking for a little light reading while you're bed-ridden for a couple of months or something? If you settled for a list showing only 4 numbers to match with each first number you'd have a list of 341,055 combinations. That's a lot shorter, but I'm guessing it would still be a dull read.

RJOh — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:31:42 GMT

You start out with a simple loop with 4 or 5 other loops nested within it, add a few features to skip or print combinations by sums, gap between numbers or numbers in certain positions and pretty soon you got the start of a complex program.

You'll probably decide it's easier not to print a combination you don't want rather than filter it out later because if you have 300,000+ combinations you'll spend a minute searching the file on disk for one combination to delete and after you've deleted... [ More ]

Yeah Well I mean eventually i would get them all, i just feel bad about clogging ur PC for 30 hrs, dude lol... I'll let you decide, if you want to give all of them, thats cool - If you want to just give me all the combos that only begin with 1 out of 56 numbers, thats great too. Which do you feel more comfortable doing

Stew12 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:23:03 GMT

I know what you're saying, but that would result in a number of duplicates and be a PITA to clear out by hand. You sure you are going to be able to work with 175,711,516 combinations by hand

If you really want to play all the wheeled number it is 773,059 so you have 8000 to throw away go for it. It takes two black in cartreges to wheel them. Also Gail Howard has a disc that does it for you.

steve33825 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:19:09 GMT

Stew,

If you could, thats great, I hope its not too much work for you. If I could just all the possible combinations that begin with the first number as 1, I think it will be easy for me to do the rest myself, all I will have to do is copy/paste it 56 times and keep changing the first number for all 56 sets of numbers until (eventually) I have all combos that begin with every number.... if you get what I mean. Sorry if that sounds confusing what i'm explaining.

Stew12 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 01:09:35 GMT

I have it built into my software. The code itself isn't complex, just a nested 'for' loop that prints out all possible combinations for any max number input.

Ion Saliu has a program Combinations.exe on his website. I got a copy a few years ago when it was free. I think he has since required a fee to get copies of his program.

This program generates lotto combinations in STEPS at user's choice;

e.g. lotto-6 combinations skipping 1000 combinations.

The program looks at all the combinations in the game

in lexicographical order. For example, in a 6/10 game

there are 210 combinations; if STEP=90, then only the combinations

Welcome to Lottery Post steve33825!

I don't know the answer to your question, but maybe there is some who has more experience with adding lottery data can help you. However like four3me and x1kosmic have mentioned that is a lot of combinations and it would probably take days for you to be able to sort or print or do whatever with the number sets.

Now I'm sure that if you'r looking for something like, the ones that have already been played. well then, yea your in the right spot. Mabey look for a member named Raven62. for the ones that have already been played.
