From my experiences, there are going to be some patterns that show up coincidentally in random data. Here are some from the Virginia Lottery:

057: all 4 daytime exact order wins have been on the 10th day of the month (10/10/1995, 01/10/1996, 07/10/1997, and 11/10/1998).

208: The first two times that 208 won were on the European depiction of that date (2 August 1990 and 2 August 1997)

247: first 11 exact order wins were all on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

505: from 1993 to 2014, this nu... [ More ]

The right numbers can't be predicted, but any information that can tell you what probably won't happen can be used to your benefit. This is why my system uses elimination. What do I mean by elimination? Well, basically taking information from past drawings to determine what most likely won't happen on the next. The computer program that I wrote is basically a quick pick generator with some tests(filters) thrown in. It picks a set of numbers at random, it runs that set of numbers against some fil...

When I made predictions long ago I made both: Good and bad predictions and most of them were bad and good or bad by making them and then seeing the results of the winning draws maybe I learned something.

On a pick 3 game there are 1000 straight numbers so there are 1000 possible outcomes.

For a 1 predicted pick 3 number a prediction needs to be accurate, if you predict a group of numbers then the prediction doesn't need to be as accurate, the more numbers predicted the less accurate that t... [ More ]

Pure random events can't be predicted, that is what pure random means. The case is really, how many real life events are pure random events? Lotteries in a barrel are not really that random as people believe. There is a quite hard proof of that as dictated by real performance outcome. In my blog here I have posted in the past numerous such incidents that show that non pure random behavior and I have a very recent one too.

A user plays a 6/45 game and picks 12 numbers for every draw. Over the... [ More ]

With pick-3 games it's 1 out of 1000, but by using all 10 digits in the first position, it's 1 out of 100 and you always get the first digit right. So with the first digit drawing when all 10 digits are used, the which digit prediction a sure thing. Another thing that is predictable is over time the ten digits won't be drawn in equal amounts in any digit position.

The numbers in jackpot games won't be drawn in equal amounts either, but because each number appears in millions of combinations,... [ More ]

While it is not very likely that we all will win jackpots then we do have to be right as often as possible, accuracy is important.

But you already know all of this even if your post says that you don't.

I have always assumed regardless of the method players use to pick their combinations, every combination they played represented their best effort to win. No player goal is to lose or to play combinations they know will lose.

My hunch is there will be no extra payouts. Especially, since the pot is empty; game is deep in the red, and the next two draws likely won't be enough to fill it.

Interesting point about the semantics ... my guess is they'll call it suspended , but if the PR gets real bad, they may decide to characterize MMC as ended , or even terminated , to make clear that failed turkey isn't coming back, ever.

Playing out the last two drawings with a ticket or two may be worthwhile to at least be in the... [ More ]

Ron5995 ... you bring up something that I have been wondering about with the Monopoly Game ending or being suspended on Dec 26, I haven't seen any talk about it so far ... if there are no top prize winners the next two Fridays are they still going to award ALL the money to empty the pot. If the 25 million jackpot is not hit this Friday then there should be 22 million dollar possible winners on Dec 26 plus the cash value of the $25 million dollar prize ... or are they just going to keep the whole...

An aspect to consider is the vast majority of lottery numbers games have roughly a 50% overall payout. Players are a huge disadvantage right out of the gate. So even if one has a system that seemingly works, it's near certain it won't be enough to cover the 50% gap...

Search the forums here for computer randomizer problems. In some instances, players noticed discrepancies that favored some combinations over others (ie. no duplicate digits, some favored over others), and yet even if players ha... [ More ]

What weathermen do is weather prediction based on past, present facts and perhaps also on physics.

The lottery not being a weather phenomenon and not having as much to do with the elements can be to some extent predicted using the facts of the game:

The make-up of the particular lottery game and the past winning combinations that were produced by the drawings.

Stats can be produced from the make-up of a lottery game and from the past winning characters (numbers or whatever is us... [ More ]

Why try to predict lottery numbers when you can do like the weatherman does and build a computer model based on what has happened in the past? After all you don't have be right all the time, if it's a jackpot game being right once may be plenty..

At pick 3 you have a chance of 1:1000 and a 499:1 net payout, if it isn't 501 for a straight.

500 loosing tickets would pay one winning ticket if there were not costs, dividends, taxes and other bs.

So predicting correctly with solid average chance, which already is a win, you loose like 50.01%.

Play 1 and receive 500 means win 499 while you had 999 chances to loose the bet against one lousy chance to win.

Let's say you predict correctly every 750 drawings, you lost 250 net and predi... [ More ]

I feel that random can be predicted -- to a certain extent.

So, one can correctly predict more high numbers than low numbers, more evens than odds, the appearance or non-appearance of certain digits, etc. But nailing that ONE WINNING COMBINATION is much more difficult.

I am slowly coming around to the point of view that lottery predictions work best if they combine some element of randomness.

It depends. If one utilizes all the possible information he has at hand, it is possible to make accurate predictions. While I don't think there is a crystal ball (or system) that can predict outcomes for every and all lottery, it is possible to use as much information to make practical choices when picking numbers. Knowledge is power.
