Notice according to your attention on percentiles between MM and PB, I think it is not quite suitable for MM, because it has be changed totals of both plain numbers and mega numbers. There are too many (75) numbers to be evaluation for their percentage. The mega numbers should not be included into the plain numbers, because they are separated into two different groups and out-put. Why should we include these two different groups of numbers together?

I think the Power Balls and Super Lotto Plu... [ More ]

Yeah, I also agree this change may get different result since this date from Oct 22, 2013, therefore, the percentiles won't follow up with the previous records. It should start a new once since #870 of 10/22/2013.

I would ilike to look up for the hot numbers and cold numbers both are important for the new numbers to be predicted. It's mega number is my most attention to care, because it may affect your whole rewards! I try to put each record into a cur line graph drawing for the purpose to wa... [ More ]

True but when the drawings didn't include any numbers higher than 55 it didn't matter whether you used the new matrix or not was the only point I was making.

03/04/14 - 10 29 31 35 45 +10

02/21/14 - 23 29 32 45 46 +15

01/31/14 - 03 09 13 47 52 +08

01/21/14 - 08 23 33 45 52 +04

01/17/14 - 01 10 26 31 51 +11

12/27/13 - 04 15 35 48 49 +11

12/17/13 - 08 14 17 20 39 +07

11/22/13 - 17 23 35 36 44 +08

10/29/13 - 20 33 50 53 54 +07

@RJOh: I respectfully disagree. Oct 18, 2013 was the cut in date for the new matrix. I count 41 draws, not inclucing tonight.

If you go back 63 drawings instead of just 41 when the 5/75+1/15 matrix started then all the numbers except 61 and 68 have come up. You'll want as much history as you can get to pick your pool. Good luck

Percentiles piss me off. But not as much as quartiles.

Try percentiles in Excel. You need input values to try.

Please help me gain a better understanding of percentiles.

I have a MM/PB system that creates a pool (array) of numbers that favors cold numbers. If a number was drawn last, it gets one ball entered into the array, two draws back gets two balls , etc. For the MM, the number 9 came up on Mar 11, so it gets one. The number 11 came up on Mar 7, so it gets two. It only gets a number based on the last time drawn, so the number 11 that came up on Feb 7 does not count. Additionally, most drawn numbers, such as 23 and 35 which have come up 7 times, those common... [ More ]
