I just started looking at this, but I think this has real promise. If you have a favorite or a few favorite numbers and you can bet online, why not track how many skips between hits for your favorite(s) for ALL STATES and when it is time, bet it or more than one on all states. To bet one number at 25 cents costs $13.75 for all states all draws each day (less on Saturday and Sunday). The minimum win is $37.50 ($75 for a double and $225 for a triple or straight).
Here are some of my favoites as an example for you. Remember these are days between hits for ALL STATES and there might have been more than one hit on a particular day, but that is not in the figures.

The first column is the date of the hit, the second column is the days between hits the red number in column 3 is the number of days skipped from the last hit to today. The last column is the skips in order. So, maybe you decide that you want to wait until the number skips 3 times before you start playing it at all states.
Here is one more. I think there may be an error in the skip at the bottom, so don't take this chart as pure truth!

The 255 is now on day 6 of skips and so I am playing it (have been last two days!!).
It will pay $75 when it hits, so I can afford to play $13.75/day for awhile!
