What are the oddsReply
Hi all I just noticed an error in the D-trap program, The error is tied to the matrix values. If you set the first value, the number of balls drawn first then set the pool value, the pool value does not update within the program. This could prevent you from being able to enter digits into some cells. There are 2 ways to correct this for now, the first would be to set the number of balls in the pool first then set the value for how many balls/numbers are drawn. You could also set t

Please help me gain a better understanding of percentiles.Reply
If you go back 63 drawings instead of just 41 when the 5/75+1/15 matrix started then all the numbers except 61 and 68 have come up. You'll want as much history as you can get to pick your pool. Good luck!

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
Actually, no, there IS a pot or as lotteries call it, a prize pool/fund, based on a percentage of sales, usually 50%. Not all lotteries are fixed prizes. Check out CA and NJ lotteries which are pari-mutuel for pick 3/4 and have variable prizes based upon sales and number of winners.

Who has better odds of hitting 3 of 5 ?Reply
May be he thought someone outside his pool was using the information he was posting better than they could. In one of his post he said he would continue answering their questions using his private forum.

return for investmentReply
If you average 3.95 hits over the history of the draw, would it be wise to step one up and use a 4 if 5 or 4 if 6 wheel for that large of a pool.

Algorithms for number selection?Reply
While predicting can be a good way to see what happens when the rubber hits the road, it can also null ones expectations. Even with all the winning numbers in a pool of 25, it's hard to get even three in the same line with 20 lines. It appears the targeted numbers has to be even more defined to get a decent win.

Trying to calculate the number of combinations with criteriaReply
Sounds like you're back where you started picking 6 numbers from a pool of 45. Choosing at least three of them from the lower 15 doesn't change the way the number of possible combinations are calculated.

ff Conditional odds. Setting these types of perimeters is a great way to play. Even if your assumptions are incorrect because your tickets still carry the same odds as a QP. If on the other hand you are correct then you have a much better chance of winning something. Removing one ball from a 5-59 matrix reduces the pool by 424,270 sets. If you can remove one digit from a drawing successfully, say digit 7 for instance, you reduce the pool by 2,036,701 sets for the above matrix a

I cracked Pick6...But to do it i first need the answer to these 2 questions..Reply
the same way you box pick4 or Pick3...If you have 6 numbers of delta numbers: 1-2-3-4-5-6 boxed it will be: 1-2-3-5-4-6 1-6-2-3-4-5 6-1-2-3-4-5 and so on.... It can work on Powerball/MegaMillion but MegaMillion/Powerball will have 120 permutations...However for Powerball/MegaMillion you will see more numbers of the delta numbers from 1-14 and 1 of those 5 will be from 1-25 possibly....However the number from 1-25 if you can predict it, you will have won powerball... my approac
