There are many ways to attack this grid.
I have spent a lot of time on the Key digit idea. I have been working on an analysis of several Key digit inputs. Running Tests constantly for the Last Few Days and Watching My Screen Flip around and occasionally turn Red when a Straight Shows up. I am all Keyed Out, for Now. I Still Believe that There is much more that I can Do with Keys; but Enough for Now. Let’s just say that I dug onto the Guts of the Grid with the Date Key. There are Gems to be found but No Groups that I can See.
I Turned off the Key and Started to Study the Grid. As I said before this grid is a series of columns in which the Add 3 Stack is Rolled. From Upper left, the “Kentucky_Grid” as I call it has 7 rows and 15 Columns. The Grid is rolled based on the Last Draw and a pattern created by the LP Late Kentucky_Lotto aka StrikeitRich. Since the Stack is Rolled, I also include the other 3 rows at the Bottom. It is a 10 x 15 Grid with the bottom 3 rows Greyed Out (But not forgotten).
So as I gazed at the Grid I first tried to focus on the first 5 columns. The Mini Grid, I called it. I Keyed that one a bit, but It got lost while I Keyed the Full Grid. The Mini Grid generally Excluded 1 Digit from the pool in each Adjacent Position and in so doing increased the number of games that the Key locked you out of the winning Room. So the 5x7 Mini Grid is going on the shelf.
I then looked at the first 7 Columns. With the 7 rows you have the perfect 7x7. There are 2 nice diagonals that intersect at the center of the Grid. There is the L-R-Down and the L-R-Up. They form the X.
Here is what this Analysis has to Say about the TRi-State Evening game that a few of you have been following. In the Past 100 Games, the following happened.
Center was Drawn
|
33
|
1 Digit on X
|
17
|
2 Digits on X
|
43
|
Win was on X
|
34

Interesting that the Center was Drawn 1 less time than the Win was on the X. 43 times the X had 2 Digits meaning that one digits not on the X were Drawn. Generally there are 2 or 3 digits and up to 5 (Rarely) that are not on the X. So, 34 times you had combinations that came from the X. 43 Times there were 2 Digits on the X and Several of those times there was a low count of digits not on the X. Generally high counts of digits excluded from the X contain a drawn Digit. 17 Times there was 1 Digit on the X. Not Listed but derived from subtraction there were 6 Games with no Digit on the X. All of this is very interesting; but, so far trying to find the Right one to play is Still the Trick. If you do find the Right Condition, there is still a boatload of combinations from which you have to find the Filter in order to profit over time. Generally the Combinations are Reduced to around 216 that match the Condition. At $500 for a Straight, you go negative big time on a Loss.
About the Promise of Gold in this Grid, It is there but you will find that it is Very Elusive. I Found that most of my ideas with Keys did not profit when more than 1 Straight was the Result. I did find that In some States a Constant formula that produces a Single Straight will hit 1 or more times in the last 500 games. If it hits 2 times there is a $500 profit. I have not found the magic formula yet. I have a few Keyed approaches that I have automated and will continue to monitor. I am focusing on the 7x7 Grid Right Now. It strikes me that Repeats need to be added to the Mix.
