Good point!

But there are people out there who truly think yall are serious about me needing a new computer!

Next time somebody makes an offer I'm asking for a Dell XPS, 8th gen Intel Hex-core i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4, 512 GB SSD, a 2TB HD, and a Geoforce GTX 1060 with 6Gigs graphics memory, prefer Windows 10-Pro!

Any color. I'm not picky!

Load the entire matrix into an array, and work from there. You could also build arrays for pairs

trays, quads etc.. This will vastly improve the crunch time.

I do appreciate the advice. Its great to see people who want to help. I did have a look-see. And didn't see anything that wowed me. So I'm in no hurry and not computer needy.

We've asked before for a programming segment for the board. We don't have one. And personally, I agree since it would only lead to numerous posts turning into (arguments and) opinions on what programs, what language, what computer, and all inclusive, my program is better/faster than yours, and, if you want to be as good...

A multi-threaded program could churn out things pretty faster on a multi-core(2x logical threads), pure SSD based, high RAM...

e.g., the time to run probability and statistics look up runs on millions of MM,PB combinations(full runs without algorithms to derive) can be cut short by 3x or 6x

In long run, 1000$ can save so much time than expected ...

Sorry, didn't mean to imply I was forced to use XP. I keep XP machines for use with the laser and CNC router.

I have two Win10 machines for surfing and printing, and a Win 7 that's crippled but has Excel installed. The laptop with Vista and Visual Studio crapped out. Hard drive crashed.

And it helps that I have a son who enjoys computers too.

I just write, throw it on a machine and let it run. Haven't considered a new computer.

But I do have a birthday coming up!

No problem. 10 years ago you had to write a really efficient program, multi-threaded to use all your available processors, and count your clock cycles to grind thru all the possible combinations. Now with 12-core and 16-core computers you can do these type of calculations in minutes instead of hours and days as before.

I think another idea is to group the 35 numbers into groups of 7 and find the best five groups of 7 where one ball from each group hits in the draw. With today's modern compute... [ More ]

Very interesting!

Particularly impressed to see so many combinations with 17, 20, 23, 26, and 29. Those have been on my radar a bit.

Thank you!

I dusted off an old program I wrote 10 years ago and got the following best 12 wheel results since 09/24/2018 for Texas Cash 5

m2 - match 2, m3 - match 3, m4 - match 4, m5 - match 5

The first 25 are trying to find the best 12 wheel result for matching 4.

The next 25 are trying to find the best 12 wheel result for matching 5.

Analyzing 12 of 35 from drawing 1 thru drawing 244.

Final Results:

Analyzed 834,451,800 out of 834,451,800

Your understanding is spot on!

The manner in which it was done is a much older Pick3 idea posted around 2007/8 by Win D.

There is really nothing new about it, excepting the difference in stats.

I spent the afternoon rewriting the program as close to the original as I remember and ran the Texas Pick 3.

I was just about to post it (fact, I'd already hit the New Topic button).

From my little understanding u are running programs to find static numbers that have appeared most often in the draws

Such a confusing comment is best ignored because what I posted has NOTHING to do with how you look at numbers, or how I look at numbers.

And this is NOT MY system. Its my interpretation of a posted open ended system. If you have a different view, post it. But, please, address the system.

Realistically, if you ask 100 people, 75 have their own idea of how to look at numbers. So take it to heart you are normal in that regard.

And if you don't like wheeling, you aren't alone there eith... [ More ]

I do not look at numbers the way you do but it does not mean you are wrong and I am right or the other way round. Just different approaches. I never wheel numbers just stick to what I get after analyzing data subsets and not numbers per se. It happens quite often that I get combinations consisting of nearly the same numbers as the final output and I play them. In most cases these are my top plays.

The chart agrees with you! And its not hard to see. (Let me apologize first for that chart. When you're dealing with 100,000s of rows of data you're eyes become accustomed to the spreadsheet look. It doesn't always translate well to copy and pasted charts in forum. So my bad for not thinking ahead on that.)

But let me make it easier and attempt to prove what you just said. To do that we'll take the top 3 ball hit producer 4 14 15 20 22 26 which brings 58 three ball hits.

The issue is having the right numbers between our picks and that is hard and we can never know for sure. Well is it really so?

Let me tell you the story of a draw over here in Poland a while ago. It was 5/42 game and 9 tickets hit the right numbers. 8 of them were played by one guy and he played one combination only. People find it hard to understand why he did it, though he or she was perfectly right. The prize was split among those 9 tickets of course and the other guy got 35,000 wh... [ More ]

Somebody posted a system not long ago that described the idea of compiling the best four number patterns in your lottery and playing those as a regular play in expectation of hitting the lower prizes. Can't find it now and the question struck today if we're playing four number patterns derived from 6 numbers, aren't we adding numbers to the set?

It would seem we have to be since playing a 6 ball lottery we need 6 numbers and a five ball lottery we need 5 numbers.

To put it another way,... [ More ]
