The 805 combo was the top combo in the 7-Day Trending Numbers Workup. I ran my usual workups for all the states and went trolling for states which had hot workups for combos of 805. Missouri and New Jersey both had hot workups, but Missouri was by far the most interesting. Then I hit a snag. Missouri had drawn a combo of 805, 058, a few days ago. When I run into a situation like that, I have a firm rule - If those numbers have repeated before, then play 'em. If not, forget it. In this case, when I searched back through the Missouri numbers, I found a pile of 805 combo repeats, even a couple at exactly the same number of days apart. I was thinking that it was a pretty good workup, and then I found this:
01/07/1998,XXX,805
01/08/1998,XXX,956
01/09/1998,XXX,927
01/10/1998,XXX,186
01/11/1998,XXX,197
01/12/1998,XXX,935
01/13/1998,XXX,735
01/14/1998,XXX,826
01/15/1998,XXX,060
01/16/1998,XXX,850
Does that look familiar? It should! Here are the recent Missouri draws:
12/15/2017,058,008
12/16/2017,135,045
12/17/2017,563,965
12/18/2017,269,867
12/19/2017,870,217
12/20/2017,975,060
12/21/2017,805,???
And then I thought, Holy C#@!
Folks who follow my stuff know that I usually post straights. That's why in this case I made it very clear that I was chasing a combo. The reason why I was chasing a combo is that the number originally came out of the 7-Day Trending Numbers Workup, which is all about combos. This worked for me before in Missouri and it worked again today.
