  The RC5 jackpot rolled to $323,000 for tomorrow. 

  I played the 20 lines I posted on the prediction board and got back $13 of the $20 spent for tickets, however when I checked the reject file of my RNG program I noticed a $10 winner was rejected in favor of combination that didn't win anything. 

  Good new was it wasn't an auto reject but a reject that I personally made after viewing the combination. I usually set the auto reject to stop when a combination that is going to be written to the play file comes up so I can over ride its decision.  The program usually look at 2000-3000 randomly generated combinations and consider 50-100 close to the set parameters which it writes to a reject file with a reject code and accept 10-25 of them which are totally within  those parameters for a play file.  I can look at the reject codes to see why a combination is automatically rejected and adjust the reject parameters accordingly but when I reject a combination personally, the code is NN meaning I didn't like its looks even though it was totally within the set parameters.

  I think I will reset the program to pick 20 combinations the same way for tomorrow drawing but maybe skipping the override feature.

  I had a simular occurance yesterday. Didn't have time to go get tickets today. Here's what yesterday's tickets looked like...

  

  Won $14.00 and spent $20.00, so wasn't a total loss. Some of the numbers reappeared this evening. I was one number off, (34), from a four match. Look at D and E lines on the first ticket. At least I had four of the numbers in play.

  You should post your picks on the prediction board when you don't buy tickets, some one else might get lucky too.  I'm still trying to figure out a way to separate the winners from the losers when I have all 5 winning numbers in a group of 24 of less.  I can usually get a match 3 which get me some of my money back but I would like a match4 or 5.  Good luck tomorrow if you play.

  Now that RC5 have rolled to over $400K, I don't expect many predictions posted by LP members in Ohio.  That amount of money is getting near the cash value of the Classic Lotto starting jackpot with over twenty times better odds.  Good luck to you if you play.
