  Hello everyone 👋,

  I wanted to share a concept I’ve been developing for a while for Pick 5 and Pick 6 games in general.
  It’s an approach I call pyramidal reduction, and it doesn’t work like traditional reductions or standard filters.

  What is it about?
  Instead of eliminating numbers using fixed filters or a single-pass reduction, my algorithm performs an exponential, multi-layer reduction, where each stage narrows the set while preserving:

  • the balance between high and low ranges,

  • the even/odd structure,

  • sum stability,

  • internal distribution,

  • and number compatibility based on historical behavior.

  The idea is that the initial set is gradually “refined,” almost like an inverted pyramid: it starts broad, and each layer reduces it further without destroying as many useful patterns as aggressive reductions usually do.

  Advantages I’m observing:

  • It reduces the pool significantly while preserving more statistical structure.

  • It doesn’t rely on hot/cold numbers.

  • It works for any Pick 5/6 game.

  • The final set feels more stable and less random than when using simple linear filters.

  I’m currently implementing the entire process inside an application I’m building, which helps me automate the pyramidal reduction and test different variations of the algorithm more efficiently.

  I’d like to know:

  1. Has anyone experimented with multi-layer or exponential reduction methods?

  2. Which patterns do you consider essential to preserve when reducing large number groups?

  3. Does anyone here use methods that don’t depend on typical stats like hot/cold or repeats?

  If there’s interest, I can share a practical example showing how a large initial set goes through the pyramid stages until it reaches the final reduced group.

  Thanks for reading, and I’d be glad to hear your thoughts.

  I heard of a farmer in Texas that wrote the lottery numbers on a sheet of paper .  He then took the paper and sprinkled chicken feed on top of the numbers. He took the paper outside and placed it near his chicken coop!    The chickens then poked holes in the  paper and the farmer used numbers near  the holes and won  the lottery. Thats about out as high tech as you can find.

  Win!

  I understand your skepticism, and I respect it. I have spent years perfecting my method, even writing a book about it, and a recognized expert in the field, “Joya Covering,” has congratulated me on my knowledge.

  My recommendation: keep an open mind, because with such a closed mindset, it’s difficult to make progress.

  My system works, and sooner or later you will surely hear about it.

  Best regards.

  Here’s a small illustrative example to show the kind of coverage my system can achieve.
  Using 9 numbers, I generate 7 combinations of 6 numbers each, ensuring 100% coverage for 5-number matches.

  01 02 03 05 06 08
  01 02 04 05 06 09
  01 02 05 06 07 09
  01 03 04 05 06 07
  01 03 05 06 08 09
  01 04 05 06 07 08
  02 03 04 07 08 09

  
  This is only a small-scale illustration. The full system works with larger sets and more combinations.

  Please excuse my English; I’m not a native speaker

  In case anyone happens to answer (which is true) what can be achieved with 5 bets.

  Many people focus on small sets of combinations, like 5 bets guaranteeing 5-number matches. While that works on a tiny scale, the coverage quickly decreases with larger sets.

  My system uses a pyramidal reduction approach, which allows me to maintain 100% coverage for 5-number matches even with larger combinations.

  For example, a 7-bet set can cover more numbers and variations than a 5-bet set, giving better flexibility and higher consistency as the pool grows.

  It’s a logical advantage: bigger sets don’t just increase quantity—they increase coverage efficiency.

  I’m confident in my system, but please understand that for now I want to keep my algorithm private. I hope you understand.

  Well that is confusing. You started the topic like you were going to show us something about reducing the 69 Powerball numbers down to smaller group and now you are saying that we will see no more. Thanks for stopping by and good luck on tonight's PB if you are playing. Perhaps your system will win for you on the future.

  There is no confusion.
  My intention from the beginning was to share the concept behind my system, not the full algorithm.
  I’ve provided examples and explanations, but the core method will remain private for now.
  I’m here to discuss ideas, not to give away years of work for free.
  Thanks for understanding.

  I show this to illustrate there is more than one way to win.  Question have you won with this method you showed.?     Good luck.

  Win!

  I've been a round the lottery scene for decades. I've seen almost every wheel, math systems etc.    I've seen a similar ideas from a man named a Ion  Salui who is on the internet.

  Win!

  I’ve been perfecting this system for a long time, and only recently I’ve started applying it to a lottery here in Spain (I’m Spanish).
  And yes, I’ve already won one second-tier prize and several third-tier prizes.
