Hello from Colorado!
So I started playing the lottery last year late in the summer for the first time in my life. Started with Mega Millions, then I added Power Ball and now I’m playing Cash 5. Problem with Cash 5 is, the jackpot is only $20,000 and at times I really feel it’s not worth it unless I can win the jackpot like one a year to supplement my income. I’m still undecided if I will continue playing Cash 5, although I’ve developed a pretty decent system for Cash 5 which I’m improving every month. On the average most months I win at least 50% of my money back and this is why I keep playing. I play $1only one game daily.
I have read about wheels and other systems and those really don’t appeal to me because I’m not able to spend a lot of money per day and play multiple games on the lottery. I also don’t like the randomness of wheels.
My system is pretty unique I think, I have not read about anyone doing it this way. Basically, I have figured out certain patterns that occur in each type of game and I play the configurations that come up most frequently. Cash 5 seems to be the most predictable game, Power Ball isn’t too bad either, Mega Millions even though is the same type of a game as Power Ball is very hard to pin down on what numbers will be hitting next. Not a lot of patters in this one.
So what is my system? I started tracking winning numbers with spreadsheets since I’m at a computer all day long but after a couple of months I changed over to a binder that is divided in to three sections, Cash 5, Power Ball and Mega Millions and each section has different kind of sheets that help me record different kind of date about each game.
I track so many different things about each game and my strategy for each type of game is different based on what I find out about each game. So what works for Power Ball, doesn’t really work for Mega Millions. Needless to say I spend a lot of time looking at the numbers and trying to figure out what else should I be tracking. The system I was using even 6 months ago is totally different now, as I keep adding more things to it. I really wish I was smart enough to put that in some kind of a data base or write some custom program that utilizes my date and can runs some predictions for me, but for now I do it manually. I choose new numbers for each game.
The numbers that are drawn in these lottery games may be totally random but after you have analyzed the games for a few months you can definitely see the patterns. There is a lot of luck involved still, knowing the patterns and having a certain formula that allows you to pick ‘smart ‘numbers helps, although it’s still a guessing game to which numbers with repeat and which pair will come up etc, but at least when I’m picking my numbers, I know that those numbers have a very good probability of winning.
My system is still work in progress and I actually really enjoy working on it, so I’m having fun but I also want to win.
