people here are misunderstanding me somewhat...i'm not saying that most numbers will come from one particular 10s group...i'm saying that one must skip one tens group all the time (and skip two of them 85% of the time)..this maximizes your chances...posting numbers from all 6 groups is not ideal because you diminish your potential....when you know that at least one or two of your numbers will be wrong since the beginning of challenge (because 5 balls cannot come from six groups) why not take a chance with skiping one group (1/6 shot of being right) and post more #s in the other groups that you think will hit...of course you dont know for sure what 10s to skip...but 50s can be skipped most of the time (6 balls in 50s compared with 10 in others (0s has 9))..what i'm saying is instead of some picks like this: 2-6-13-17-23-28-30-37-43-46-54-55..one that looks like this may be better: 13-16-18-22-26-29-31-35-38-39-43-47...now lets say i guessed correctly that the 0s and 50s group will be skipped for next draw(it did for 3/29 draw: 18-20-25-31-36)....my bold picks would have been better suited of having more correct #s compared to previous example picks becasue by making a guess in the skip i gave myself more chances of picking numbers in the other groups that hit....covering all groups is like shooting yourself in the foot when you know that one (or two) of your numbers will be wrong to begin with...this last sentence is the core of what i'm trying to say...
i'm not saying that there is something wrong with the challenge..i like it just the way it is...the challenge is great becasue is supposed to be hard....12# is the right amount...people here that are saying we should get 20 numbers to post are missing my point.....it will be the same mistake if you post from 6 groups even with 20 numbers

The great thing about the challenges is that if you have a theory and use it consistantly...it's success will be measured and scored,,,,The thing to remember when you pick your 12 numbers is knowing that at least 7 of them will be wrong (and most times more)......My goal is to hit the jackpot or 2nd teir once,,,,,I'll worry about getting consistancy in my hits after that,,,,,,
Good luck with your theory!!

benmas,
You make a point and as fja says "if you have a theory and use it consistantly...it's success will be measured and scored,," in the challenges. I'll be watching your results.
Good luck

I agree with what Benmas is saying but from a different point of view.
I think the key here is prioritizing numbers. Going from a high priority to low priority.
Take my picks for example 3/26/08 - 9 12 20 37 49 - 1 played 9 12 39 42 47 - 1 line.
3/29/08 - 18 20 25 31 36 - i played 16 2025 39 54 - 1 line.
Yes I could have gone to the store a bought 1 qp with 5 + 1. I definitely don't get this lucky all the time. But my point is that you can hit numbers that have high priorities easily.
It goes something like this: 1
2 2
3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
It gets more complicated down the path.
But you can hit consistently at the top of the priority. It depends on your observations, data and stats. The deeper you go the more luck you need. These could be called repeats, hot numbers, etc. ( You definitely have to be more creative it is not just that simple.)
If we all shared these high priority numbers, somebody will be matching 4+0 or more every month.
If you are picking 55 numbers and you get the first 3 numbers correctly, you are just a step away from getting 4 numbers especially if you know what numbers are correct or in this case highly likely

To explain a little bit about priority.
If you played 5 top priority numbers in one line, you will be matching at least 1 number almost every drawing. When you should be matching every 11 drawing(or so)
For example,for PB 3/29/08 18-20-25-31-36, why did 20 "repeat" from the previous drawing?
You can say repeats are due. But statistically the first position have been pushed down below other positions IE it is due. Due because numbers in the first position has a high priority than say second and definitely 10Th. Therefore doesn't get usually this low in the hierarchy.
What about 25? Same thing. It is in postion 2. Which suffered the same faith as postion 1 before postion 2 hit in the previous drawing with 49 (PB 3/26/08 - 9 12 20 37 49) Because it went that long without hit in postion 2, it was likely to hit again soon. Therefore the pair 20-25 become significant because the difference b/w the numbers is significant. ie 5 was cold. 5 has more priority than the difference of 10(more combinations of 5 have a difference of 5 than of 10 or something)
Yes it might seem complicated but that is why it will require us working together. Nobody will give us $200,000 for free.
What if the numbers didn't hit that way? Now isn't that very interesting.
Sometimes you will see these things and not think much of it.
It takes discipline to see and stick with these thing.
But if the numbers doesn't hit in the 1st or 2nd position this drawing, It more than likely hit them in the next drawing.

whatever balls that are set in the middle of the machine are the ones that come up in the drawing.
takes luck to figure it out. its just like the board game "mastermind". how many tries are you willing to take to guess it right. but theres ones catch, pay $1 a try.
what is it like 59 numbers plus an ADDITONAL 59 balls, 165 million to 1 odds?
whatever it is i know its not ME right now. i think if you want to try and crack it and hope luck is on your side i think you would have to throw down about $20,000 and hope you can get atleast $13,000 back in winnings with a chance at 200,000 or the MILLIONS. So that may mean you need to cover any loss during the weeks if you still want to keep that same chance.

Editgap,
If you had something that works then what others do shouldn't effect your results. Pick the numbers you think will come up and play them, that's what I do and so far the best I've done is matched 4+0 in 20 lines once.
Good luck

how much more do you think WE can work together on getting EVERYONE paid? if everyone gave you their predictions youd be spending that $20,000 .......lol...........hey man good luck with your dream, there might not be better things to dream about but there are more livelier things.

you are excatly right...hitting the big one is the target when i play pb or mega..if i want to win $10K i play P4...and i dont care about consistency either...what i was trying to say earlier was to start taking some shots and make some guesses in order to maximise the chances if one's guess is correct...playing it safe and trying to cover all bases i dont like as a strategy...i'm ok if my guess fails 20 times and works 1 time because most likely that one time will more than make up for the 20 failures earlier...

i get what you are saying, I'm just saying that when you see my 12 selections, all they are are the numbers from 2 lines I will be playing (plus 2 wb's from a 3rd line) I do not pick 12 numbers and then wheel them,,,My numbers have been selected for a long time....They are run through a scoring system and the 12 numbers I selected are based on the 2 best lines I have (+2 Wb's from a 3rd line) that score the best ..... I am just giving them to you in numeric order....I been ther and done that with your theory,,,,but like editgap says, there are many different theroy's with similar results, but it takes a combination of those theory's to work.....And it's always changing.

I too play more than twelve numbers because I usually play 10-20 lines and it has been my experience that if all 5 winning numbers aren't in them somewhere my chances of having more than two of them on the same line is zero. Most times I can eliminate 15-20 numbers without eliminating more than one of the winning numbers. Usually the 12 numbers I use for the challenges are the ones that come up the most in the 10-20 lines that I play.

Where did you come from mister bringmedown. If you and your buck are such genius what are you do on this website and reading 6 pages of post for that matter. You should think about saving that $1 of yours mister highandmight.
I didn't ask anyone to give their numbers. Maybe I should use that invisible idea of yours to win.
I guess you are one of those people who play not to win and those who want to win are sick so you have to come here to let us know.
Thank you very much. You point of view has been duly noted.

Dream it is, no doubt, and everyone here - including YOU with 129 postings - knows it.
