The only thing I would use is my Gail Howard power wheel after looking at the other numbers to reduce my group of numbers. If 2 numbers I would use a wheel for the 2 power numbers. 3 numbers a wheel for the 3 power numbers. Why? because I am not on the guru level of working the numbers like a lot of people here. A lot of yall are on a level I can only say, WOW!!! So I would use my paid for program and use it to cash in as many tickets as possible.

Reprint:

It might be the best use for that kind of a program as any-more than 1 to 3 winning numbers are very hard to come by.

No more waiting needed if 1 or 2 bankers is all that you need.

A program that might give the 1 or 2 Almost For Sure Numbers is LottoSync.

Is anyone still trying to get that program to work? For a long time some of the members who bought it were waiting for an improved version. Last I heard, they got tired of waiting and moved on.

Before you use any filters check the stats of the past draws, as a particular game at a particular time as seen on these past draws might not abide by what might be considered Normal Filtration

By the way I made the wheel and yes with 2 Key-Banker Numbers you get:

17,296 Combinations.

A regularl 50 Numbers wheel gives:

2,118,760 Combinations.

If you only know one number for sure then the wheel makes:

211,876 Combinations, very good when compared to the regular wheel.

-----

If you know 2 numbers for sure and filter out like so:

Last Digit Even 2 to 3

Last Digit Odd 2 to 3

Last Digit Low 2 to 3

Last Digit High 2 to 3

You then reduce that wheel to:

Whatever you did to get the 3 numbers - go back and figure out how you got them and then try for the others.

Then go with your gut feelings.

Whatever you do, do not throw too much money on one draw.

Yes, in those 17.296 tickets, all 50 numbers (48 numbers + 2 key numbers which will appear in each ticket) are included.

With the 2 key numbers correct you will win the following prizes:

14.190 x 2 correct numbers (the key numbers of course)

2.970 x 3 correct numbers (the key numbers and one of the other winning numbers)

135 x 4 correct numbers (the key numbers and two of the other winning numbers)

1 x 5 correct numbers (the key numbers and the three other winning numbers

In a Cash 5 or pick 5 kind of game or 5 main numbers game.

There are 5 positions, that is 5 groups.

For the first position group the lowest possible number for a 5/50 game is 1, because the lowest possible number is 1 2 3 4 5.

And the highest possible number is 46, as the highest possible number is 46 47 48 49 50.

So the first position group can only have numbers from 1 to 46, that is 46 numbers not 50.

Second position group = 2 to 47, I guess, unless I am making mistak... [ More ]

GAme Belgium when you say: 17.296 tickets in a 5/50 lottery is that grouping the 2 key numbers with all 50 numbers of the range, or is that just grouping 2 numbers with a particular size wheel....

Because if they are with all 50 numbers of the range they are music to my ears...If they are not i guess is a big dissappointment...And does the 2 key wheel number guarantee a 5/5...

if for some reason GameBelgium can't post the answer can someone tell me if is true...

Yep Paurths, my eyes are playing the same trick on me

So, if you would indeed KNOW 2 of the 5 numbers to hit for sure, you can make a full wheel with 2 key (or power) numbers. To cover all possible combinationsn, and therefore be sure to win the jackpot, it would take:

17.296 tickets in a 5/50 lottery

12.341 tickets in a 5/45 lottery

8.436 tickets in a 5/40 lottery

5.456 tickets in a 5/35 lottery

and 3.276 tickets tickets in a 5/30 lottery

Hope this is helpful in some

Too bad pumpi that there is really no way to know for sure not even 1 number.

It is all a chance, some chances might be better than others, but chances they still are.

But what people said is right if there was a way to know for sure.

I would take those two or three numbers go to the store and quick pick the remainning 3 or 2 numbers.

The way I see it, if you cover your odds, luck has a better chance of covering the rest of the odds for you.

OTOH, you could play one draw 9,139 times - the number of possibilities in a 3/39 draw - and win every prize on the books - jackpot once and everything else multiple times.

Hi,

i don't know how much it costs to play MM or powerball, but here's an example for the belgian lotto.

It is a 6/42 game.

One ticket costs 0.5 euro and the prizes start at 3 correct numbers.

The prize for 3 correct numbers is fixed, it is 2.5 euro.

So, in this case, if one would be certain of 3 numbers, each draw, one could not care less for all 6, because one would only need 3 to become a millionnaire.

Draw 1: 5 euro = 10 tickets - win 10 times 2.5 euro = 25 euro

Draw 2... [ More ]

If you knew two numbers were going to be drawn for sure it would give you quite an advantage.

For MegaMillions with 56 numbers you would have 2 key numbers plus the possible combinations of 3of54 or 24,804 possible combinations to match 5of5.

For PowerBall with 59 numbers you would have 2 key numbers plus the possible combinations of 3of57 or 29,260 possible combinations to match 5of5.

In a MegaMillion state your prize would $250K and in a PowerBall state it would be $200K or $1M with p... [ More ]

I think I'm misunderstanding the question.

I'm not clear on 2 or 3 numbers matching 5 out of 5 on the main field of numbers... for example, Mega Millions main 5/56 field.

LANTERN — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 02:16:02 GMT

So you are talking only about the 5 main numbers and not about the 5 + 1?

5 out of 5 does not pay that much unless you are on a state like Tx where with 1 more Dollar per number you can MegaPly smaller wins such as 5 out of 5 from 1/4 Million to 1 Million.

2 out of 5 not enough I guess, but maybe 3 or better yet 4 out of 5, yes you can wheel, but you probably will get way too many combinations, I don't know, let us see:

54X54= 2916

54x54x54= 157,464.

It better be 2 or 3 for sure i... [ More ]
