Best pick options per position to actual win ratio?

I Remember back when California first started it's Lottery. I was working for a developer at the time and the Lottery was looking to lease a space in an industrial building for Office Space and a Stage Set where they conducted a Live Draw before a Studio Audience. There was no opportunity for the Lottery to sort out a combination of it's Choice. I don't recall any problems but, I might be wrong.

Over Time the Lottery began to block independent observation. The kind you can Trust where anyone... [ More ]

What you thought is exactly correct. Lotto commissions can scan the numbers picked for a combination that no one has picked or very low frequency to appear. Lucky numbers for example never ever show up except one or two per drawing. For that matter, unlucky numbers. The reason I say this is noting how many times the draw results are not announced until hours after the draw time.

The numbers that others play do not have an effect on what they draw. That is correct. 1,2,3,4,5 does have the exact same chance as all the others do of course. It has been close to that and probably has happened somewhere. I don't have time to track every draw, but know it has been close. If and when it does happen though, the only ones that will win with it will be the ones that played those numbers, just because. LOL. Not many systems players will ever see that come up in a workout and actual... [ More ]

We'll have to agree to disagree because I don't believe the numbers that other people choose to play have any effect on the numbers the lottery draws. If you play 1,2,3,4,5 and that's the numbers the lottery happens to draw, then yeah you will be sharing the jackpot with tons of people. But your odds of winning with 1,2,3,4,5 are the same as yourbodds of winning with 2,14,23,24,45. They both have the same chance of coming out of the machine. Good luck to you in any case.

They are the real odds, yes. But they are odds that include quick pick sales. Most tickets are quick picks. You also have the ones that play 1,2,3,4,5 and the likes. Can you guess how many tickets are played with those numbers? Maybe do a little research and see. It's many.

Just a little bit of thinking though and a whole lot of work, and those odds will drop. I guarantee it. Seen it.

I do something similar but not with software. I eyeball the past dozen draws to pick out four numbers that were drawn and then I pick a fifth that wasn't drawn in that time frame.

I don't claim to be a math genius, but the odds posted on all the lottery sites are the real odds, assuming the lottery is random. There are no secret hidden real odds unless the lottery is rigged or very nonrandom. Yeah there are cases of bad RNG programming, but they aren't the norm. If you're thinking the lottery is nonrandom, how did it get that way? Unevenly weighted balls, bad RNG programming, tampering

Hi aquariuslottery,

Ain't it though? I'd say none of us will actually hear of it if it did happen. I've not really gave out any info other than some stats. Not going to either. And we all have to dream about something. For me, it's just achieving a goal of completion and results.

1) Correct. I kind of got into this in my last post. I'm willing to bet that most all systems do the same thing/s over and over. I think that's why they work, then they don't. We're doing the same thing for 3,500... [ More ]

Hello AB,

That's what I'm talking about. Exactly. By setting a guideline of what would be really useful for an excellent chance of that win. Preferably THOSE wins. A standard that could or would be set for a starting point to go off of. If everyone could agree on what that standard was, then we would all know if what we was doing was worthwhile to begin with or just a waste of time. I hate wasting time. It's like looking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The closer you get to th... [ More ]

Good good! Still praying for ya here!

I used to research that stuff years ago. Just got so tired of worrying and thinking about it. It's gonna be what it's gonna be so no point in it. Not going to go crazy worrying over what they're going to do.

I can't really see another way of actually making it happen without elimination. Some sort of or sorts of ways to make it happen. Just too many number option per pick without reducing options.

I'm looking to put in the draws and it spit out only the winners.

That's what everybody is looking for, whether on LP or not. I haven't heard about anybody finding such a method and personally consider this a dreamland territory. Nothing wrong with dreaming but do not take it as reality.

A couple of axioms I believe relate to lotteries:

1) No system, no matter how promising, wins forever.

2) No system looses forever, either.

3) Therefore you have to look at many systems at the sam... [ More ]

It s all about the INVENTORY MAN!

That is what Most Statistical Based Systems manage. In addition to tracking (logging) the numbers themselves and then calculating their frequency and skip, all of our Systems assign Labels to Each Number and Each Position in the Draw. The Very First and I think Basic Criteria is to Set the Numbers in the Draw in Numerical Order. Actual Drawn Order in my opinion is a waste of time and memory and was the first thing to go into the discarded pile. A System can

Hey, Green Fox...!

No, I wasn't saying that your cookies may have been read,.. I was saying that they may have read MY cookies when I visited their website...

That's why I mentioned that I had been researching positional number strategies..1st time doing so..

Hey Greenfox,

Things are ok here. Mama is still working toward getting better.

I get a laugh out of folks like Stat and their conspiracy stuff.

Something I do with games like Texas 2 Step, and Cash 5 which is here in Texas is eliminate numbers. BobP had an idea in which you can wipe a lot of combinations off the board simply by not playing the numbers that were drawn in the previous draw. Does it work every time. Of course not. But it's a strategy better than QP's. I take that a step fu... [ More ]

Hello lottolologix,

I've noticed that and been told that by a couple of good friends from here. It is incorporated into this in a visual sense so it's shown in the options results. Both for the full set of draws and the past 30 games. (The 20 previous does need some adjusting, but it's there.) I do appreciate any input and thoughts though, so thank you! I do like the idea of combinational parings, and how they would come about, but never twice completely in our lifetime. That is not incorpora... [ More ]

Those cookies come right to my PC and IP address and they know how to find that easily. Plus my picture right on here, it'd be kinda hard to deny that I am me. Not going to lose much sleep over if they do or not to be honest. Or they could just pop a virus straight into me here and wipe out all my work and PC if it was that big of a deal to them.

I haven't even updated or checked the PB numbers in a while now. That is an odd low pick, but it does happen. I'm SURE it has nothing to do with me at all. Besides, what I do really doesn't necessarily mean that I'm going to have a small number always as my smallest. THEY don't know what I'm doing because I've not posted anything that actually shows or says. Just that I cut my pools down. Cutting my pools down only means that I'm using my tricks to cut each down.

While I a not a huge fan of the BIG lotteries since PB MM whent to 2 bucks per play. I find that if you look at the last 15 plays you will find all or most of the 5 digits without power or mega ball will show up in the next play. All 5 digits seem to come out about 35 ish percent of the time. Of the number that seem to actually come out in the next game alot of the time seem to be numbers that only came out 1 time in the last 15 games.

So....

You're saying MUSL checks his state's lottery website, then follows him to Lottery Post and researches what he posts here, THEN meet and say hey, he's on to something, let's draw numbers that start with 49, that'll fix him!

They pick out one guy out of thousands of players and fix a draw? From balls drawn out of a hopper? For a jackpot that is really not out of the ordinary for MM or PB?

Whatever drug you're on is something special.

Hey cotton,

It's similar to that but not really related to that post. The way I've got this worked out, there will be times that there is the same digits in other picks options, but it lays it out that you have to reach up the ladder for the next highest rung to get to the next step. It's basically just an idea of what results would really make one take a completely serious look with a knowing that something was really working as it should.

What is an exceptional starting pool and what criteria does a starting pool need to pass to be exceptional?

I've only been home a little while today so I didn't get to do much work. Going on about an hours sleep, but fairly awake and alert still whilst running some tests on some PA 5 draws for a good friend. Running these tests, it really came into my mind to just ask what really would be an exceptional pick option set per position with how many wins combination.
