This might get a little heavy duty, but here goes.
What if we could take the combo's from every T5 drawing (all 7,059 of them) and sort them from lowest to highest? What would that tell us, if anything? Does it even make sense to do something like that?
For instance, the very first combo would be 1 2 3 4 5. (That's never been drawn, but that line is the very first combo.) Likewise, 35 36 37 38 39 is the very last combo. (That line has never been drawn either) Neither of those two combo's would appear in the list, only the combo's that have been drawn, and each combo would be listed only once.
Of course, we know that 44 times the same set of five numbers has been drawn, and there's been a lot of lines that had the same four numbers drawn. Same thing goes for triads and pairs. So in the final analysis, there would be less than 7,059 combo's listed even though there's been 7,059 drawings.
What patterns would we see/notice if we had that list?? Once again, I wish I had coding skills. Maybe a list like that wouldn't be of any value whatsoever. I have a list of all the combo's from every drawing, but it's in draw number order, so it's all over the place. The list I'm thinking of might not be of much use/value, but I'd still be interested to see it. G5
Turns out I didn't need coding skills to create the list I spoke of in the above post. Just now, I was able to create it using Excel. If anyone would like to see it, send me a PM and I'll email it to you.
I thought about it for a long time last night, and I attempted to do it this morning. To my surprise it worked. The bad thing about it is there are no drawing dates associated with each line (set) of five numbers. If I kept the dates, it screwed the whole thing up, so I had to delete them to make it work.
Here's a fun fact I've learned by creating the list:
There have been a total of five drawings where all five numbers came from the same number group. Two from the singles, two from the twenty's, and one from the thirty's. Five out of 7,060 drawings!! That's absolute proof that you're crazy if you play 1 2 3 4 5!! If anybody wants to know what those five lines are, let me know and I'll post them here.
I gotta keep studying the list.. hopefully it will reveal some more clues for us to use in our hunt for a JP. But hey, maybe it was a completely worthless exercise too. I dunno. We'll see. G5

I know there isn't anybody who reads this thread who plays 1 2 3 4 5, but that aint gonna stop me from posting something I just spotted in my new spreadsheet! (toy?)
Here's the first 8 lowest sets of five numbers ever drawn:
01 02 03 06 33
01 02 03 06 38
01 02 03 07 39
01 02 03 08 16
01 02 03 09 33
01 02 03 20 23
01 02 03 35 36
01 02 04 07 13
Did you notice something? In the entire history of Take5, not even 1 2 3 4 has ever been drawn!! So what makes anybody think 1 2 3 4 5 is gonna come out is beyond me! OK. I'll now I'll stop beating that dead horse.
Here's the highest four sets of five numbers ever drawn;
28 30 35 36 38
29 32 33 37 38
29 35 36 37 38
31 32 33 37 39
See what I see? Only twice has #29 appeared in position 1. Oh, and that last line, it's the highest set of five numbers ever drawn, and that happened on Christmas Day, 2014. Maybe my new toy aint so bad after all. G5

A guy could go crazy fooling around with lottery spreadsheets like I do....
But Hell! I went crazy 40 years ago, so that don't make no difference to me.
I'm looking at my new spreadsheet and I see lotsa stuff. I don't know what to make of a lot of it either. This is gonna take some time gettin' used to it. But one thing is for certain, it definitely is telling me things about T5 numbers that I never knew before. Trouble is, it's telling me things about that happened in the past, and I want it to tell me about what's gonna happen in the future, And very specifically too. That's the part I don't like about my new spreadsheet. G5

Hey there's no going crazy now ... we need those analytical skills! Now that we know what lines NOT to play, we have to start breaking down all this info you're getting to figure out what to play and when. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I filter out all the drawings for a particular month (Aug 92 - Aug 2015) and then closely look at what has hit the most during that period relative to the entire history. So far this method tends to deliver a few companion pairs and an occasional triad ...

I didn't think about using my new list to check for combo's that have been drawn before. That's probably the best use of it. But there have been 44 sets of five numbers that have been drawn twice since T5 started, so checking the list to see if a combo has been drawn in the past isn't totally fool proof. G5

This is true, nothing is fool proof. But those repeating pairs, triads, quads, etc. can be a great starting point for building strings ... especially when they are "active" within the last 10 games. Gotta start somewhere and there's no need to go AGAINST the grain ... or should I say trend?

One thing I noticed on the spreadsheet is that out of 7,060 lines (combo's) on it, 5,320 of them have a single digit number in position 1. That's 75% of the lines. What that really means is 75% of all drawings have a single digit number in position 1. That's not "new news", but it does say that it's a real good idea to begin each of your lines with a single. G5

I did something tonite that I typically don't do.
I bought the T5 promo by asking the clerk for $10 of T5 QP's. I did it for a reason. I just checked my tickets against the new spreadsheet I made that lists all the T5 combo's that have been drawn. I was looking to see if I got any QP lines that had all five numbers drawn in a previous drawing. I didn't get any, but I did get one line that had four numbers previously drawn. I also got quite a few lines that had three numbers previously drawn. It's certainly possible that in the past, I couldn't have picked five numbers on one line that had been previously drawn. I'm sure I must have done it, but I simply didn't know that I had done it.
As for that line that had four numbers drawn in the past, the four numbers were drawn on January 7th of 2011, but that was the only time they were drawn together.
So we'll see. I don't really know if it's a good thing or bad thing that I got a line with four numbers that had been previously drawn together or not. G5

Here's a question for you;
In the entire history of Take5 (7,061 drawings) has there ever been a drawing where five consecutive numbers were drawn? (Like 2 3 4 5 6 or 18 19 20 21 22)
Here's the answer for you: NO!
There have been a handful of drawings where four consecutive numbers were drawn, but never five. Closest set of four that almost made it to five was 23 24 25 26 29 which was drawn on July 13, 2006.
This interesting (but completely worthless) fun fact was brought to you courtesy of G5
Now why do you suppose I like to screw around with my T5 spreadsheets and learn info that not a soul on this earth even remotely cares about? I don't know either. I'm nuts, it's as simple as that.
