I am not sure I understand your question, Extremegain. The rundown I shared here is really not my system, but just one of the many used by pick 3 players. Some folks like to rundown 314, 317, 618 and there are a few others.

Right now back testing the 317 rundown for Ohio for 2023 and 2024 games just from the Midday to the Evening---it's mindboggling how often the next draw is there with its numbers touching one another by doubles and/or mirrors. I'll share it when I'm done.

I look at your images here and I see embeds of choices to choose from within the workbook. Your workbook looks like excel to me, but how the heck did you do all that dividing up of content on the same worksheet? Or is this something you coded from scratch.

I use PureBasic for most of my coding projects, including this one. The code I am using now was actually started a couple of years ago with one of my other projects. It sat idle for quite some time, until I saw this thread, and decided to... [ More ]

Thanks, Mr. B.

I did a good read through of this tread, and was mind boggled with the chatter on code. I so wish I knew more about what was being discussed. I've been using AI to help me code my excel sheet---I've made some major strides using it, but when I wanted it to help me find all the possible touching numbers into combos it didn't return correctly, but that could be because of a bad prompt on my side, so I sat and got them all myself, one by one. The grids produce so many combos, it... [ More ]

Nice work TheseStars!

Collecting the cells for each combo was the hardest part in terms of time. Took me a good work day to do the pick3, I would imagine you might need two days to do a 4 grid.

Ain't that the truth! I went through multiple algorithm before finding ones that work. I'm still refining but seem to have a grasp on it. Here's what I have come with so far. Not 100% satisfied yet, but getting closer.

Using excel, just this past weekend I built myself a rundown grid filter for the Pick 3 (not interested in the 4 at the moment). It took me a good full day to make sure I got collected all cells/numbers connecting by row, diagonal, column, and the multitude of zigzag arrangements the grid produces. I then programmed a filter worksheet that collects each combo and alongside of it columns populated with vtracks and Sums for each produced combo. I used a conditional format to tell me which combos h... [ More ]

I want to note that since a combo can hit multiple times, it can therefore appear in 2 ways (one or the other or both)

1. Surrounding/touching/passing a highlighted digit or including the highlighted digit

2. Away from any highlighted digits.

In instances where the combo only appears away from any highlighted digit, that combo would be removed from the set.

In instances where the combo appears at least once surrounding/touching/passing or including the highlighted digit AND any

Hey

By subtracting the total number of sets from the total sets with a key digit removed still gives a larger number of sets. In this approach, you would still need to input a permanent function to list only sets that have at least 1 digit surrounding/touching/passing the remove... [ More ]

What I'm hopeful to see is that the number of sets touching/passing a highlighted number is between 125-225 at most.

For assessing the frequency of hits in this lottery system and examining where/how the winning numbers appear, here's how this system did in the first week of February.

Color Legend:

Blue: Unique daily highlighted number that's used to pick numbers passing/touching it.

Green: The unique daily number is also a digit in the combination from the draw result winning number

Yellow: The different ways that the draw result winning numbers are found in the grid.

A plain text grid can be pasted , entered manually, or auto filled by the program. Currently, a 10 row grid takes just under 2 seconds and the 11 row grid takes about 2.5 seconds after you click the Show Me button. I should be able to shave some time off of those numbers in the future.

This is great!

It seems that your program automatically arranges each digit in numerical order (eg. 3567 instead of 7365 as it could appear on the grid) and calculates the number of hits (important in my filtering process).

I also like that it shows the number of combos. As I see from those two examples on a 4x11 grid, the total number of box combos is within the range that I was expecting of 450-550.

Your program is on the right track with the totals for the number of combinations in the grid. You might be right as well in that this unknown program counts each variation of a linked cell. We might be able to discover this unknown program by working backwards and recognizing its features.

Are you able to put your program to the test and see if it gives out reasonable outputs for my 4x11 grid

It would work the same as any other state/province pick 4 style game. The grid would still be 4x11 but have the numbers arranged differently for each draw prediction.
