Hello:
If you take any 4 distinct numbers between 0 and 9, in the long run, at least one of these numbers will appear approximately 80% of the time in the past draw sample set. Since it's common for hot spots to occur over a short run, we should be able to find a set of 4 numbers, from which, at least one will occur in 100% of the past N draws, for some number N. You can try this with pencil and paper(and some patience), starting with the last 20 draws. If you can't find a set a of 4 key numbers for this set, drop the oldest 2 draws and repeat the search. You should gain success by the time your past draw set has shrunk to about 16. Most times you will get only one set of four numbers, other times you might get more than one. In the latter case, you might want to only stick to one set for the rest of the analysis. The theory of the usefulness of the generated key number set(s) is as follows:
Since 100% of the time at least one of the 4 numbers appeared in the resulting past draw set, there's probably enough "key number spunk" left in this number set to squeeze out for the next, let's say, 5 future draws. It's not likely that the power of this set will rapidly stale off and show no key numbers over the next few or so draws.
I wrote a program, keyNumberFinderP3, to generate key number sets based on the above description, and found the theory to hold up. Very often a pair within the 4 key numbers shows up, but rarely does a 3 out of 4 occur. Here are the key number sets generated keyNumberFinderP3, good from 3/16 - 3/21:
Ga. All day - Key Number Set -> 2,5,7,9
NY. All day - Key Number Set -> 0,6,8,9
Texas Day - Key Number Set -> 0,4,7,9
Texas Eve - Key Number Set -> 0,2,4,6
Comments welcome.
