Predicting number patterns?Reply
Hey RJOH, I was keeping charts on Little Lotto as well as Lotto and MM but I stopped around June of last year. I've just recently started tracking numbers again but this time only for Little lotto and they only go back a few months. I realized that in trying to find patterns within patterns I need to go back more than just a few months. As for previous drawings....I always go to the Illinois Lottery website and print out what I need. Keeping an ongoing file with the numbers is a good idea!

Predicting number patterns?Reply
Someone told me if you contact the Illinois lottery they will send you the Lil lotto files in excel format. If you do that don't go into a lot of details as to what you are going to do with the file just tell them it's for personal use. If you have excel you can make two files one for tracking and updating the new numbers as they fall everyday and another one to work with. Copy and paste all the little lotto drawings to a separate workbook and put in ascending order you can then see all th

Benford’s Law and The Lottery!Reply
Thoth, Thanks for the great analysis on Benford's Law (BL)! I believe that skips are the key to solving lottery games, putting yourself in the right spot at the right time with the right numbers. Great work on the Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, Indiana and Florida graphs. That's amazing how closely they parallel BL. But, I think what's more interesting is how closely they parallel each other. Skips that start with a 1 hover around 33-34% while BL states they should be closer to 30%. All

5/39 on EVEN/ODDs and PatternsReply
garyo1954, What I think of pairs is that they pay $1 in the Illinois Little Lotto (5/39, payout for 2 of 5). I know you're hinting at knowing pairs and combining them with other numbers, but that's still a long shot. Like I said before, it's obvious you've put a lot of work into this but I still don't see it passing the so what test. I haven't seen anywhere on a playslip yet to choose HL, OE, or any of that. A player could have absolute knowledge that the next drawing will produce tw

50/50 filtersReply
I would love to know of a 90% filter. Right now, the best filter I use has a 58% success rate. My worst, has a 32% success rate. Please give me an example of a 90% filter. And let me comment on a previous post to this thread. The way I am reading the post may not be what the author meant. If I am mistaken, he can correct me. Filters, by their very nature, will eliminate the winning combination most of the time, if not all the time. Hence, the odds of winning that night will be reduced t

Excel formulas for Pick 3 & 4 help needed
Hello All,I have a formula =SUM(ISNUMBER(FIND( 520 ,B3:AE21))*1) that I use in excel. It's able to take a and find one # for either pick 3 or 4 across all parts of a excel sheet.

Does any one know how to expand this formula to be able to search all combinations at once? I know there are like 24 combo's just for a
