Yeah, if you really like to complicate things, try making the numbers add up to the jackpot of the game you're playing. Which would be 20- over 300. Those high numbers get pretty interesting.

For powerball tonight that would be 49. So every game it is a different total.

Of course, I should warn you that I explored this possibility fully with little to no results in winnings., so just keep in mind it is for fun only. The total of the numbers are almost never the total of the game's jackpot... [ More ]

Interesting spy153.

I wish I had a program that could do that or know programming.

That looks like fun.

Sorry for the late reply, editgap.

An example would be:

for the pick 3 ----------numbers 421=7 (4+2+1=7)

for the pick 4-----------numbers 5011 (5+0+1+1=7)

for the pick 5, you can do it two ways: like above where all the numbers total, oh, let's say your age. I'm 39 years old, so 1+3+10+15+20=39

or you could use only numbers that add up to 7, for instance (not in order) 43-34-52-25-16 ect... where 4+3=7,3+4=7,5+2=7,2+5=7 and 1+6=7.

Same with pick 6 as above.

Good idea but I don't get the total of seven.

On the next rainy day weekend,I plan to apply TTT to PB for chits and giggles using ranking and 5 rows of 12 to see if a general area of a good hit if it's possible can be pinned down once every 3 months...sounds crazy, but I haven't heard anyone mention using ttt for JP games

How about choosing only the lines that add up to a certain total? For instance, only the numbers that total 7, or whichever is your favorite number.

When I was regularly playing the Ohio Rolling Cash 5, I experimented with smaller abbreviated wheels using from 12 to 18 numbers and I had all five numbers a few times but never in one combination. Even though I was using a system to pick the numbers I still had to find a way to put them in the correct order.

RJ suggested using all the numbers in the minimum number of combinations; 8 combos in a 5/39 game and 12 in a 5/56 game. There is no win guarantee, but since you're using all the numbers... [ More ]

This is one of the fewer posts that I can say I am plum confused with what the object of the original posters question was!

A method is a SYSTEM. Plan and simple

This is not how to pick the winning numbers.

If you aren't trying to pick winning numbers then why would you want it to be interesting

add up the numbers of the sets---choose by range,even,and odd sum.

Choose by quantity of even numbers or odd number quantity. 2/3 ect.

good luck

Okay someone read this again.

This is not how to pick the winning numbers.

It is about how you can scroll through a list of numbers.

It is really that simple, just for fun.

Example a list of numbers from 1 to 1000. I could choose all the prime numbers from 1-1000.

Sometimes just to change up I'll use pennies that I have numbered, and pick them out of a jar at random. I'll do this for however many lines I want to play.

Has it worked?

No.

Thanks everyone for the reply but, I am not looking for a system.

What I need is a simple mechanics for selecting lines to play.

Example, After you applied your filter, you generate 1,000 5-number combinations for Powerball listed from 1- 1000.

Say you only play 10 lines

You want to select 10 out of 1000 lines

Do you know any interesting methods to select the 10 lines

ie, I could chose to pick every 100 lines, (lines 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000)

I could... [ More ]

Hi Editgap,

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question but this is my method:

First I look at the last 5 games to see whats been happening (sometimes I may go back up to 10 games) Mostly I'm looking for repeat numbers, consecutives, if the last few games had numbers all out less than 10 games, if the majority of numbers have been out more than 10 games, if the sum total was too high or too low on the last few games, if several numbers have hit or not hit from the number groups, stuff...

Always save your play slips no matter what method you use to select numbers

Every once in a while take all the playslips and shuffle them like you would a deck of cards

Divide the stack in to 3 separate piles

Close your eyes and using your left hand pass your hand over the three stacks until one feels right

Use that stack to lay out a Tarot spread (do a Google search for Tarot card spreads if you don't know what I mean)

Then play the slips that come out in your spread

I've won... [ More ]

Collect some fortune cookie predictions and put them in a hat. Pick one at a time and select 1 number from each prediction until you have your 5 or 6 numbers. Rinse and repeat until you have all the tickets you want to play. Friend of mine won several 2nd przes in NJ Cash Five using this method many years ago. Good luck.

Thanks Rjoh,

but I am not looking for a system for selecting the combinations.

I am interested in just the method of randomly or formulaically picking the lists of combinations.

Just creativity.

Using all the numbers at least once until you run out is a good way to get coverage of all the winning numbers but you can combine that with other things such as number distributions patterns, low and high or odd and even or hot and cold numbers, sums, gap size between numbers and etc. I even like to check the combinations with previous drawings to avoid repeating any match fives or higher since winning combinations seldom repeat.

You guys know any interesting methods (not system) of picking your numbers.

After you generated your combinations from one to a quater billion or whatever the odds are.

Do you know any intersting ways to select you numbers.

There is the common random picks.

There is the key number method were a number or two appears in all the lines which is good if your timing it right.

Currently, I am using the method of randomly pick a combination, block those numbers in any other lines and pic... [ More ]
