How to Create a Reference Box
Step by Step Instructions
In order to use my system you have to be able to create a Reference Box.
I will now explain in detail how to create a Reference Box or RB for short.
First you need the last 20 results of your state…..BOTH midday and evening COMBINED.
We do NOT separate midday and evening drawings in my system; we use them together.
We will use the last 20 results from New York as an example.
The 1st Position
Now we will find the top 4 digits in each position. First we will work on the 1st position. When we organize the digits from the most frequent to the least frequent in the 1st position, we get this:
4
|
2
|
0
|
3
|
5
|
6
|
9
|
1
|
7
|
8
|
4
|
2
|
0
|
3
|
5
|
6
|
9
|
4
|
2
|
|
4
|
|
(You can use a software program to do this, sort it in Excel, or count each digit individually with pen and paper. This can be a pen and paper system, all you need is the ability to COUNT digits to use it.)
As you can see, the digit 4 hit the most times in the 1st position; four times. The second most frequent digit in the 1st position is 2. It hit three times.
Now you will notice that 0, 3, 5, 6, and 9 all hit twice. What we do in a situation like this is to pick the LOWEST digit, which in this case is 0.
So the top four digits in the 1st position are 4, 2, 0, and 3.
We line them up like this:
4
2
0
3
The 2nd Position
Now we will find the top 4 digits in the 2nd position. When we line up the digits, they look like this
1
|
4
|
3
|
5
|
0
|
2
|
8
|
7
|
1
|
4
|
3
|
5
|
0
|
1
|
4
|
3
|
5
|
1
|
4
|
1
|
So 1 obviously hit the most times (five times). That is followed by 4 (four times). Then 3 and 5, both of which hit three times.
We line them up like this:
1
4
3
5
The 3rd Position
We will do the same with the 3rd position.

The digit 2 hit the most (4 times), followed by 1 and 9 (both 3 times), then with 4 (twice). And as I mentioned before, we use the digit 4 here (even though 5 and 6 also hit twice) because it is the lowest of the three.
We line them up like this:
2
1
9
4
When we put all the three lines of digits together we have completed the Reference Box.
Always LABEL the RB with the DATE. Since we started counting back from July 14, the date for this RB is February 14.
This is the Reference Box for Feb 14 for New York:
