bobby623 and winsum, Here is what I came up with for this. I know that winsum has most of this already programmed, but I told bobby I'd look at it for him and see what I could come with. You may be able to incorporate it into what you have already and it may just be as useless as I am. There are 5 sheets in the book. Each doing something different, but all serving the same purpose. This is the only sheet that need anything filled out in it to take care of the rest. You just have to put the

Chi-Squared Goodness of Fit Test for LotteriesReply
Another issue is that even if you successfully identify a lottery with an exploitable weakness, it gets patched up pretty quickly -- either when the physical balls or machinery become deprecated and replaced, or when the PRNG machine undergoes scheduled routine service and updates. Funny how an innocuous software update can completely change the behavior of a PRNG. The best anomaly that I found in a PRNG lottery several years ago just up and disappeared when there was a leadership change in

Another random selection puzzleReply
I had forgotten the identity Ln(1/(1-a)) = (a^n)/n, n=1 to n= for a 1. It's one of those really elegant formulas. Funny how those transcendentals sneak their way into probability questions.

Neural Net Lottery PickerReply
What I would like to know.... Is the model produced on the predict page with what ever settings you use, being used to back test on the training page or is looking at different models to produce those matches? It seems funny that that model can give that many good matches and only produce a 4 match for the next unknown draw.(see my last post)

Daily and Evening Pick 3 and 4 draw similarities.Reply
Hello Mz. How funny I was just putting Missouri into a set of these for testing. We'll see how it does for there. Best of luck to you!!!

The Number 6174, Kaprekar's OperationReply
The funny number 6174 had to be a multiple of the magic 9 and it sure is (6+1+7+4=18=multiple of 9). And I've got news for those that try to find some meaning* that could be used in some lottery system: the number contains the Jackpot symbol 777: 6174 = 2X9X7X7X7 *like in at least being related to some well-known gambling-related lucky charm/symbol.

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
I didn't find RL's remark to me light hearted. Some people think they're the LP police, and can't help themselves. You'd think this was the first time EVER, that someone wrote something off topic on LP. Looney Tunes..... Then of course, Ridge had to put his two cents in, but it's so funny how RL never has a problem with his remarks. I guess you have to be a Christian, then you can write whatever you want without scrutiny from the rigtheous patrol....

Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
Jim! Jimmy! Jimbo! Duddddddddde! People gonna think you be hating on me now! I can't help I was born stupid! Hind site. Hindsight. No big deal, just funny if you think about it. I make enough mistakes to fill an encyclopedia. But don't underestimate me, as soon as I've done the stupidest thing you can imagine, I'll do something stupider just to prove you're wrong! Would like to tell you how I come up with the megaplier 4 last night but my dog is eating my ham and egg croissant. It's an old

Neural networksReply
Precisely my point only I am not being funny. As there is no definitive answer to randomness at this point in time, we have to look at everything and see if the principles involved can be applied to the lottory. Case in point: For hundreds of years no mathematician could chart for you the path of comets. Then along came Mr. Newton and his Calculus. Edmund Halley, using Calculus, then determined that the comet named after him returned to this vicinity of the universe every 75 years and has bee

Math and LotteriesReply
Thats is an interesting idea gasmeterguy. The two branches of mathematics that are most commonly tied to lotteries are probability and combinatorics. I feel that when one understands how both of these branches are interconnected he can truly see just how the flow of randomness really operates. Its funny how the big picture is already taken well in advance of the future: the percentages of what can, what will, and what does happen are all known prior to any long series of upcoming draws and al
