Ok this is an interesting comparison....scratchers to Lotto which I'm thinkin is a ball drop and good old Fantasy 5 which is drawn by a computer.

In a 5/39 game you'll see many numbers that tend to repeat because the pool of numbers is so small. LOL any numbers you pick will eventually show up........maybe just not together. I never stick to a set of numbers because as you will find that set of numbers will continue to change.

Oh and I won over 2 thousand dollars on my 3rd ticket ever purc... [ More ]

Hello, since the repetition of a result is very difficult or slow, it was able

to her

To increase an I number previous and subsequent to filter with 18 numbers

A lottery of 6/49 example = 02,09,12,25,35,46 with the numbers

Previous and subsequent it would be like this the draw

01,02,03,08,09,11,12,13,24,25,26,34,35,36,45,46,47 would be used the lines to

create a filter with the result and adjacent

To enlarge the filter, can anybody say

It seems the threads where a question can be answered or partially addressed using math die the quickest.

I have concluded that this thread is going no where, time to start looking else where for answers.

Once the number pool size is set, the odds are automatic. All the state has to decide is the size of the payouts.

What ever ones theories of winning a lottery are, they can easily be tested by posting on the prediction board if testing them for real would be too expensive.

Johnph77, I think the state has done the math with regard to setting the odds of winning. Theoretical mathematical formulas are useful only when calculating probabilities in total. My numbers are actually physical components: They show up during Lotto and Fantasy 5 draws, not on a calculator. My formula specifies that these numbers appear regularly enough that one may use them to create a viable set of numbers to maximize their chance of matching the draw numbers.

garyo, don't be confused. My post specified certain groups of numbers that appear on NON-WINNING Scratch Off tickets. I've noticed over time that these same numbers are also picked for our Fantasy 5 games. Not each draw, though, but frequently enough to give one an advantage in selecting a group of numbers for both the Fantasy 5 and Lotto games. I asked that you wait until I could win something using these numbers, and I did. I got 3 numbers correct on the Fantasy 5 game, and missed one number... [ More ]

Looks like you're talking about checking for pairs or triples that travel together (or don't).

In a 5-ball game, each drawing has 10 pairs and 10 triples to check. A 6 ball game has 15 pairs and 20 triples per drawing. That's more than a little bit of work. Since every state will have a different history, you might have to show folks that you've found something happening outside of statistical probability to get them to stop whatever they're doing now, to also add this....

Daveyl, there are not many here that would disagree that the dynamics of the game change when the drawing pool changes, or makeup of the draw is refitted, as in adding a bonus ball.

From here I am a bit confused. You state, Second, you'll be playing for quite awhile before you win anything. Then, in your next to last sentence you say, Don't try this until I've actually won something worthy of an updated post.

Daveyl, you could 'be playing for quite awhile before you win anything.'

Johnph77,

There's a couple of ways of looking at it. Granted there are duplicates over time, and combos that have never hit. I know on the websites that allow you to search past winning numbers you can come up with combos and search for hours without a duplicate.

So one school of thought says that if your combos hasn't hit yet and a duplicate shows up your combo has just lost another turn in line .

Tens of millions of combinations, or hundreds of millions for the 5 + 1 games, two or thr... [ More ]

Coin Toss, that's funny: 483 years . Perhaps I didn't explain my system completely. The numbers I've listed are greater than those for a single draw, so you can use different combinations of these numbers. I don't mean to infer that it's a sure fire jackpot winning system, but I do see these numbers regularly on our Lotto and Fantasy 5 games. I'll try it and make a report next payday.

Coin Toss -

Probably untrue.

According to the math I've done in the past, somewhere between the draw numbering that between 35 and 40 percent of the total number of possible combinations, the possibility of a draw exactly duplicating a previous draw will exceed 50 percent if no duplicate had already occured. For instance, in a 6/49 lottery, there are 13,983,816 possibilities. somewhere between 4,661,272 and 5,593,526 draws, the possibility that a draw will duplicate a previous draw wi... [ More ]

Daveyl,

First, you have to stick with a set of numbers that results from this formula.

This has been discussed in this forum before and the consensus was that any given set of numbers will eventually hit, as long as you have 483 years to wait for it to happen.

Daveyl — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 21:58:58 GMT

As most of us know, the lottery was adjusted to thwart all efforts to win by systems. Back when it started, there was a marginal level of player ingenuity which afforded one a slight advantage against the salient odds. Today, that advantage is non-existent. However, there actually IS a formula to maximize your chances of winning: First, you have to stick with a set of numbers that results from this formula. Second, you'll be playing for quite awhile before you win anything. Third, faith is your... [ More ]
