dragon, I agree. The sample size is VERY small. With an average of 104 picks a year, if you lived to 100 and played every year, you would only see 10,400 winning picks in your lifetime! (10,400/42,000,000 = 2.476X10-4 percent

the problem with states is that you cannot see the practice draws... you are only getting to see one drawing of at least 2 or 3 that evening... we have history only for the draws that counted ... states rely on info we don't have... I did look into it, and the whole problem is made worse with things such as multiple ball sets, multiple machines (such as the travelling set used by powerball and their rare on-location draws).That was just my experience... I don't want to discourage you from mak... [ More ]

Rjoh, Yes, that's exactly where I got it from.My feeling is that, what is old to some is also new to others.And being that this is the mathematics forum, any info, reguardless of source, might stimulate new thoughts, new view points, and possibly new solutions if looked at by a new set people. So, as time goes by, don't be supprised if I pull other sources into this forum occasionally.I'm glad to see you go to google also. They occasionally have some useful articles.I'm actually getting some pos... [ More ]

I defined active and inactive numbers in a similar manner in a program I used. I compared the average hits of each numbers during the entire period of the data file with the average hits of a shorter recent period of the data file to see if the hit frequencies were higher or lower than normal and only played the numbers that were more active. I didn't improve my winnings, so I abandoned that idea. RJOh
