A static list is usually hot then cold then hot again like that. You can't expect the same degree of results each drawing. It may do 2/6s (or worse) several drawings in a row before dropping a 5/6 bomb
The odds of picking a 6/6 winner out of a few numbers (picking 6 from 48) is higher(harder) than eliminating the 6/6 winner from all possible combinations (removing other 6-number combinations). It is much easier to build the list with the winner, just create all possible combos. But now, how to filter out so many losers while leaving the winner in AND having an afforable list?
The first part ~ What makes the winner SO different than the losers, before the draw?
The second part ~ as it stands (current odds and prize), if you had the cash, you could "buy" a win. No filter required.
I'm not making a trip to Indiana to play the Hoosier Lotto tonight but if I was these are the combinations I would be playing today:
If nobody wins tonight, I'm going to give a lot of thought to maybe actually playing later.
6-20-24-34-38-47
Tonight's winning numbers. A new adjusted list based on the most recent winning numbers did much better, 70 lines = 20 free plays, 1 match 3 and 1 match 4. If no one wins tonight, I think I'm ready to take my system to Indiana.

Estimated Jackpots:
Hoosier Lotto -$52.5 Million Powerball -$34 Million Next Drawing: 10/24/2007
The jackpots continue to roll. Maybe one more test-run before I play.
The winning numbers were 6-20-24-34-38-47. Line 54 of my list had 05 20 24 34 39 47 and matched 4. I know why the 39 wasn't a 38 but I don't know why the 05 wasn't 06 so I may have to tweak my system a little more before taking it to Indiana.

4 of 6 is an amazing hit in my book but if you want 5 of 6 or 6of 6 then keep doing what you have been doing and im sure your system can get you there when you are ready to make the drive to indiana. i can understand wanting to wait because i drive to georgia once a month to buy megamillions futures so if it wasnt for the gas prices i would go more often

4 of 6 is worth about $1,000. That'd at least cover the gas and buy a few more tix.

For this drawing a 4 of 6 paid $44 and a 5 of 6 paid $1189. $44 doesn't cover the price of the 70 lines that I would had played but gambling for a $50M jackpot in Indiana would be a one shot deal for me so I would want to take my best shot even if I lost $50.

those payouts are complete garbage
Um, could you EXPLAIN your reasoning behind that statement? Looking at the 4/6 and 5/6 payouts for other state lotteries, I will say they aren't really that much better, if at all. That was just another attempt to bash the Hoosier Lottery, and of course, WITHOUT any type of explanation.

i was saying that overall that's bad no matter what state 1,000 for 5 numbers how heartbreaking would that be and i wasn't bashing the hoosier lottery although they are doing some dirty stuff trust me i'm from there
