Ok, so after a search of the topic on Lotterypost without finding anything similar that I have been working on, I thought I would post my thoughts to see if the collective can progress this further:
Note that to ease the work, I did all the calculation process in MS Excel
The overall idea is to take the sum of the digits, by drawing position, plot them out for a period of time (10-15 drawings?) to potential identify the next sum of digits resultant to be expressed by drawing position.
Sum of Digits
Example of any given drawing - any states Pick5/Cash5 game (this is a Pick 5/34 game)
| Date |
Day/night |
N1 |
N2 |
N3 |
N4 |
N5 |
| 1/11/2020 |
Day |
5 |
6 |
14 |
22 |
26 |
Sum of Digits
N1 = 05 ==> 5
N2 - 06 ==> 6
N3 - 14 ==> 5
N4 - 22 ==> 4
N5 - 26 ==> 8
Determining potentially drawn numbers (using the above N5 number)
Lets say you believe that the sum of digits 8 will be expressed again in the next drawing for N5.
Then this would mean that the next potential drawings for such a resultant are
For clarity, the potential drawings for N5 could be 8, 17, and 26
Given that analysis of the game based on drawing position had yielded that historically speaking, the smallest number expressed in this particular game at N5 was a 10, we can with greater probability, speculate that the 8 most likely will not be one of our choices for N5 sum of digits 8, leaving the 17, and 26 as optimal choices for the sum of digits 8 we think will be expressed.
As common sense would say, if you have determined that you believe that say N4 and N5 will likely both be expressed as 8 on the sum of digits, then N4 would have be a 17, and N5 would be a 26.
The above process can be expanded to the jackpot games (PB, MM, Euromillions) by expanding the calculation of the sum of digits as follows:
| 8 |
| 0 |
8 |
| 1 |
7 |
| 2 |
6 |
| 3 |
5 |
| 4 |
4 |
| 5 |
3 |
| 6 |
2 |
Again, with the belief that multiple 8's would be expressed in the next drawing series, elimination of potential numbers can be accomplished based on the expression of others in increasing numbers
The question will inevitably be ask: have I won anything with this strategy? The answer is no. This is primarily because I was approaching this from an expectation of mean reversion in sum of digits expression, only having recently learned of the mean reversion hypothesis primarily revolving around expressions/presentations on the extreme basis.
Do I believe this has a high potential for success? Yes I do!
I would appreciate constructive feedback and any insights you all have with what has been laid out here.
