Noise is the right term. Conspiracies have a signal-to-noise ratio of zero. There were 9/11-type conspiracies before 9/11, and there are 9/11 conspiracy theories today.

But back to the lottery -- buying tickets with numbers that everyone else plays is the exact OPPOSITE of what you should do. The probability of any number combination being the winner is exactly the same. The difference is that if you win $100 million and no one else does, you get $100 million. If you win $100 million and so d... [ More ]

Sir

What I mean was - If I knew that this draw - the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6

are the numbers that has been bought The Most by all the lottery buyers

I would then buy that same numbers for the next draw

heck

If I have a months statistics for the Most Bought Numbers

I would buy all the months Most Bought Numbers for 1 single draw

who knows ... sounds creepy to me ... but the internet Noise was not wrong

I am betting that the Mass Consciousness of the Lottery Folks c... [ More ]

I read somewhere that 10,000 tickets are bought with 1,2,3,4,5 a week. Why would they ever draw those numbers then? 10,000 people sharing a jackpot? Unheard of.

According to the LP search drawings, 1,2,3,4,5 has shown up twice in Pick 5 games. Interesting that they were almost a year apart and nothing since then. Would be super curious to see how many winners there were!

well the reason why i am asking for the past numbers that folks have bought

is because as - creepy as it may sound

back in 911 ... just before the planes hit ... the internet was abuzz with a lot of Noise of folks who seem to know that 911 was going to happen

The Noice on the internet was from the folks who used the internet to search on search engines like google and yahoo back then

I thought well since folks are very excited about winning the big one

They will have it. They won't publish it. They will show that information during audits. To my knowledge It's not available publicly. That's too much unnecessary information.

I am not sure whether anyone has asked any state lotteries for those details. May be somebody in LP already tried it. They can let us know.

They definitely have that info for the Pick 4 and Pick3. How else would they be able to say a number is Sold Out on a particular drawing

70% of tickets purchased are QP, so for that part of it you can approximate the numbers chosen by writing a computer program to pick random numbers millions and millions of times. The fact that your computer doesn't pick the exact same numbers that thousands of QP terminals did in the past means nothing.

The other 30% tend to have more 7's ( good luck ), fewer 13's ( bad luck ), more 1-12's (months of the year), and more 14-28/29/30/31 (days of the month past the 1-12 month range), than QP's,... [ More ]

Exactly.

Why would they give it out? For auditing purpose they will provide those information and even more.

Even though the OP gets this information(impossible), he/she will end up with a count that falls within the reach of statistical probabilities. May be he/she is trying to do some kind of prediction or projection saying on 3rd of a month or on Wednesdays of an year people chose a particular number and it came after so many days and similar after draw predictions using dra...

this was asked by you before

Is there place where I can get all the 6 numbers bought by everyone per draws

answer is basically the same

You're likely not going to get that information.

You'd have to beg the state lottery for that kind of info; which they probably do have and not willing to hand out.

It must exist in some form, otherwise they wouldn't be able to regurgitate the fact that 70-80% of combos played are Quick Picks.

Also, you might discover some trend that's not... [ More ]

I think OP is not asking about draw history. He is asking about the combinations people bought

For example:

On a PB game day, how many people had 01 or 02 or ... 70 in their tickets(EP/SP) pick-3/pick-4 how many people bought 0-9 in first digit, second digit, third digit or fourth digit - or combinations as box/straight bought by all people who played.

He is not asking about draw history - He is asking the player's played data history. Except revenue information Lotteries don't p... [ More ]

When I wrote this, I wasn't expecting him to go thru all those numbers. I don't believe he's even trying to do what I did, but rather wants info on all the combos BOUGHT by people for those games. I have no idea what he is going to do with that very large group of numbers, but my main point was to let him know that he could contact them and maybe they'll indulge him.

There is usamega.com. I haven't really used it that much, however, there are stats and stuff you can check out.

This site search will do too.

It certainly would take longer than three days to write out the more than twenty five millions possible combinations of PB or MM. With knowledge of a computer language you may be able to reduce the time to an hour or so. While millions of the combinations probably were played, only a few thousands of them have ever been drawn. You may even figure you had more information than you needed with just the history of past winners.

Just click on the lottery's official Contact link on their website and simply ask them. I did a similar thing years ago before I had a computer. I won $3,000 in the pick-3 due to this effort. I wanted to know what Florida pick-3 numbers have not drawn since the inception of the game, so I asked for every number that showed from the beginning. It cost me like 15 bucks I think.....So it took me three days to write out all numbers from 000-999 on a sheet of paper...then cross out every number that... [ More ]

The one website that shows the total number of combinations sold per PB and MM drawings have figures of ten millions plus. That's a lot of data to mine.

I don't think lotteries release those information. The only thing that I saw was revenue information - nothing about purchased numbers.

Is there a way to mine Pick4 or Powerball or Megamillion data ?

DrDavidBowman — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 03:49:13 GMT

For example is there any website that will show me

1) All the Powerball numbers that was bought for a particular date ?

2) All the Megamillion numbers that was bought for a particular date ?

3) All the Pick4 numbers that was bought for a particular state and date ?

Kind Regards
