I like to share with you my observations on Mega Millions. Adopt these observations with your system.
The chart display from left to right; date, group of numbers, results, repeated numbers, consecutive numbers, mega ball, and mega ball group numbers.
GROUP OF NUMBERS: [ discard 14 numbers ] Some groups has appeared more than others. Each groups contain 14 numbers, guessing the right group will allow you to eliminate 14 numbers with ease, leaving you 42 numbers left to pick from.
Groups:
[ A: 01 - 14 ]
[ B: 15 - 28 ]
[ C: 29 - 42 ]
[ D: 43 - 56 ]
94% of the time one of the group will not show up, the other three will. See the chart for the three groups that show up regularly, we want to focus on those, and look for pattern on what group may follow up next once the active group decided to sit out on a draw. The white "X" indicate a number that has hit under the group, another little detail to look at is how many number within each groups has appeared. For group A, 67% of the time there will only be one number appeared, while group C and D will have 2 - 3 numbers appear often.
RESULTS: All that you see on the chart is based on the result of a draw for that day. The red number(s) within the results are repeated number(s).
REPEATED NUMBERS:[ discard 5 numbers ] Mega Million results does not have a lot of repeated number(s) from the previous drawing. So far, 81% of the time it will now show up, allowing you to discard the previous results (5 numbers) with ease from your pool of numbers to select from.
CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS: Numbers that are next to one another; 1,2 or 14,15, or 47,48, etc...just one above or below from a number, rarely you get three in one row; 1,2,3 as consecutive numbers. Looking at the chart they showed up 58% of the time. Check for the consecutive numbers in your play slips, at least 30% - 50% of the numbers you play should contain consecutive numbers. If you are playing $10, then make sure $3 - $5 contain consecutive number.
MEGA BALL: [ discard 36 numbers ] This ball is important, will need this to win the jackpot! For this one ball there are 46 numbers to choose from. They are in groups like the white balls, for visual understanding of where they end up most of the time.
Groups:
[ A: 01 - 11 ]
[ B: 12 - 23 ]
[ C: 24 - 35 ]
[ D: 36 - 46 ]
Thus far the 52% of the time the mega ball will come from group D. If you like numbers from group C, well...91% of the time it will not show up. The chart helps determind which mega ball to play to ensure you win something if not the jackpot. Select one group (A,B,C, or D) you will automatically dicard 36 numbers, leaving 10 numbers for the mega ball.
Consider these observations into your method of selecting the winning numbers! Good luck to all.
