  If you had to pick two out of three numbers correct

  #1-#2-#3

  #1 has a 54% chance of hitting

  #2 has a 39% chance of hitting

  #3 has a 7% chance of hitting

  Past 10 results

  1. 2
  2. 2
  3. 1
  4. 2
  5. 1
  6. 1
  7. 1
  8. 2
  9. 2
  10. 2

   

  The #2 repeated 3 times in a row, all you have to do is pick two numbers right.

  what two numbers would you pick for the 11th number?

  Would you bet $640 to win $900?

  No. To take a phrase from poker, "the pot ain't right".

  The pot in this case is $900, and $640 of it is yours. A net gain of $260 would be nice, but one loss and you're playing catch-up football. To me the idea of playing lotto isn't to bet more to win less.

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  I understand where you are both coming from, you only gain $260....The question about the cash has to do with the question about picking two out of three numbers I asked.

   

  The number #2 has hit three times in a row, you have to basically rule out one number out of #1, #2, and #3; Thus, choosing two numbers right.

  The odds

  #1 has a 54% chance of hitting

  #2 has a 39% chance of hitting

  #3 has a 7% chance of hitting

   

  Each number does not have an equal chance of hitting because the numbers represent categories(groups).

  To eliminate the #2 from the choice I would base that judgement on reviewing a longer history. My choice would also be based on what type of numbers are in the group.

  Numbers are where you find them.

  With a 7% chance of hitting on #3 it boils down to a matter of when to choose the #3.
