Hot numbers are numbers that occurred the most.
Cold numbers are numbers that occurred the least amount of times (during those specified number draws).
Then it does a random quickpick based on those hot and cold.
only those powerballs are showing because within those last # of draws, those are the only powerballs that came up, the program doesn't detect zero occurences of numbers.

What do you use for "during those specified number draws"? For Megamillions, I use both last 70 draws and 140.
If you play cold numbers, the zero occurrences would appear to be the most important.

my system is meant to be simple if it doesn't occur at all it's probably not going occur at all.
Like 99 will never occur so how does it know if it'll ever occur.
I do see your point about numbers that haven't occurred that are in the lot but my program doesn't handle that.
maybe consider the system Hot and Cool numbers then hehe
Warm and cool are the wheels within hot and cold.
Here's a scientific theory based on my observation: What is hot becomes cold and what is cold becomes hot. I have done many different back periods of =countif() on daily 3/4 draws that go back thousands of draws. I conditional format red to blue for a quick view of the 0 to nth occurrences over time. I have never found a non-RNG game where something becomes cold and stays cold forever. I have never found a hot that stays hot forever. The period that something stays hot or cold is totally random, can't make heads or tails which way its moving. But, this is why I play numbers weighted for coolness. The hotter it is, the less it will occur in my predictions. I also have an =iferror(blahblahblah=0,1) in case 0 comes up, it will consider that number at least once.

Thanks,
Perhaps I could change the program to tell it that here are all the possible numbers, and count zero occurrences.
but I didn't, I wanted it to only base its findings on drawn results so it has no idea what the numbers ranges are.
Even though there is a strong reasoning behind considering zero occurrences, I wanted it to base on what actually occurred. so based on those draws if a number never occurred, the system considers it outside of predictability.
To tell you the truth, I strong believe that all the different methods we use are purely for entertainment. I believe that our odds remain the same no matter how we choose. but it's fun to use different methods and see different reasoning arriving at different choices.

Hi, try a traditional frequency rating of 126 drawing or 18 weeks each single digit is drawn.This should give you a fairly consistent pattern for which digits are drawn the most often. If a digit was not drawn in 2 consecutive weeks, look for it to come in as a double in the next two weeks.
