Since Powerball does test drawings pre and post draw, one would think those numbers should be figured into what the "hot" numbers are.
And let's say hypothetically 4 different ball sets are being used (not counting the PB ball sets), then one could further break down the hot balls for each ball set (the numbers that most frequently get drawn both pre, actual, and post draw.
So if someone statistically counted the hottest balls for ball set number 37, ball set number 36, etc, you could conceivably have four sets of hot ball numbers to play at a minimum. If someone keeps such stats that way they could probably make money selling that subscription or service. Maybe such a service or system exists but I have only seen people counting hot balls from actual drawn numbers which only gives you an incomplete and inadequate data picture.
As for Mega Millions--- is there a way to view the pre and post draw numbers pulled for each drawing?
I am also surprised if both Powerball and Mega Millions are both run by MUSL why they are presented so differently on their web site. For example... with powerball you can look at total winners and see right away how many winners there were for each level of any given state. I don't see this with Mega Millions. I would like to see Mega Millions consistently present the same info for their drawings the way they present the powerball info. (so I can click on a state and see each tier of winners and how many)
Also for Lucky For Life, does any site post the pre and post drawing test numbers so someone can compile hot numbers if they wanted?
