  This is a list of 28 combinations that have never hit more than three during  the entire history of the Buckeye5 drawings (2,109 draws). Playing them tonight and not doing any better would be similar to playing them 2110 times or playing over 59,000 combinations and not matching four or better.  So far they would have matched two 6700 times and three 712 times for a payback of $13,820 or a loss of $45,232 had they been played.  Can any group of numbers be that bad?  In the past I've sometimes played Buckey5 for $8 - $10 and most of the times won a dollar back and occasionally won $10 win, about one win of $1 for every $9 played (about the same as the overall odds),so I thought I would run this simulation to see if I had invested more, would I have had a better return.  In the simulation I would have got $2 back for every $9 played (a little better than the overall odds).  I wonder if these numbers will do any better tonight.

  If these numbers do any better tonight, I will have to use a similar simulation to pick my future numbers.
  
  Goodluck

  Tonight's winner 10-12-19-23-30 had never matched more than three, but it wasn't on my list.  It had matched three 25 times and two 263 times for a lost of $1596 if it had been played 2109 times up to now, but it payed $100,000 tonight.  For me if I had played my list, I would have won my aveage of $1 for $9 played, because it did match two 4 times for $4.  So much for the simulation.

  Hello RJOH,

  seems you and I are in the same boat, we both appear to have conversations with ourselves! Anyhow,...

  I was toying with the Pick 3 Ohio and started to make some good monetary advances with an idea that is bearing fruit and thought maybe that this idea could be incorporated into the Buckeye 5. I will start a tryout for the 16th Wednsday. I am using the last five winning sets of digits. Highest digits to the lowest, ignoring pairs or more of same digits in the count. This would/should give me an edge on the needed five numbers for an win hopefully more than the occasional $1.00/$10.00. Seems plausible, since five number and ten number games are similar instructuring.

  Check it out!

  Hello Teufellj,

  Didn't understand the similarity between the two games, but I would like to see your list when you compose it.  I may make a similiar simulation for SuperLotto tonight and see what happens, maybe a list of 20 combinations that have never match 3 in the 235 draws.

  Goodluck
