So much involved with developing a gui app!
So, the project is underway, and so much had to be altered! It is a completely different world when developing a windows app while keeping in mind it will also become an android app! The main program could be named anything in windows, but it absolutely MUST be named main.py on android. The data files could sit in any location in the windows project folder, but they need to be in the application space to not trigger read/write permission requests in the app. So I...

082, not in PA, but hit straight in OK...
So at least one of the numbers was a straight hit somewhere. The other number was a box hit in IN earlier in the week. Last draw for the mid and eve today, then using the last of the house money to play next week tomorrow. Interesting run so far. The Python QP generator for the power ball, one ticket per draw for the last 5 draws with all the add ons... cost $20 (including tonight), won so far $35, net profit $15. Progress has been made on the chi-squar...

Back in the game
Good to be back! Noticed I have been an LP member for 20 years. After a number of years in the I give up gang, I realized that the work I was doing with lottery data was good practice with excel and I am starting up a new angle. In the interim I have learned to code in python, in fact just 8 classes to go (the long path, 1 at a time) to earn a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Right now the current project is to generate predictions using Python code I wro...

Today's coding... getting the csv files to the right location.
With this app, ALL of the engineering happened on the windows side. The Android part was basically assembling the app from the blueprint I had made in windows. The plan... I know that I must copy the csv from the data folder to the folder in the app that holds user data. I need to see what that path is so I can get it there. So, I am recompiling with some diagnostic prints that will spell out the path clearly in the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) logcat output, filtering the e...

Pick 3 cycle starts today
This one was a bit of a milestone as the windows app was used to make the guess. This is also a departure from the most recent strategy. Here I am looking at the Markov Chain of followers, but instead of playing the highest frequency combo for 1 day, I am playing it for 1 week. This allows focusing on the chain transition frequencies. So this week is the basic approach, which number has the highest frequency in each column? Next week, instead of playing the same combo, the...

Graphics for the app will be started this week
The PA lottery game images (pick 2 through power ball/mm) on their website are vector based svg files. I will need a vector based drawing app to work with both getting the proper sizes and creating a logo for the app I am building. After a few days of research, I have decided to go with inkscape, an open source (free!) vector graphics program for Windows. It checks all of the boxes... 1. It's free! 2. Natively works with svg files. All source images wi...

Pick N column sorting planned for Friday morning
The process of implementing a new feature like this... 1. Have the idea 2. Look at the code so far and figure out where it is best implemented... for this script, the column is generated, then written to a buffer list while the rest of the columns are processed. The obvious best choice is in that spot where the list is calculated already, but right before the column is stored... 3. Plan how to implement the feature... this is going to be attempted with the simpli...

So far, the story remains the same
There was hope starting a new pick 3 system. There was a straight hit to fund some experiments on other games (pick 5 and Cash 4 Life) There were more losses than wins, but as of this moment the system has cost 0 out of pocket because of the 1 win. There are 2 more free weeks to play. Constant re evaluation of the system leads to some major changes... 1. Implementing the inter quartile range instead of 1 standard dev...

The new cycle, MM and PB only...
Given that just about every single thing I looked at with regard to accurately predicting numbers over the last 20 plus years has come up dry, it is time to change the strategy. The new plan, as covered before, is to take on the jackpot games in alternating weeks. The old budget was $14 per week every week, so that was $28 in a 2 week span, this new budget, which will include adding on the multiplier and double draw for power ball will cost $12 one week and $10 the next... $22 every...

So what exactly is it I am trying to achieve?
Been thinking about the current plays... did not get any hits outside of the Match 6 so far, and they were small wins. After calculations and analysis over a few decades, my conclusion is, though it MAY be possible to use computing power to help find winners, I simply lack the ability to do it! I don't see patterns because there are none! The Markov chain would have found them applied to followers... in any other data, the steps taken would have been rewarded with results... identif...
