Texas nw in MegaMillions. I use alpha-numeric substitution to generate numbers for the 5/52. Anyone want to collaborate with me in creating various hot sheets, inventories, x-y charts? It works for Pick 5 and also for Pick 6, when Texas had such a lottery. No jackpots yet, but substitution is good guide in picking future numbers based on prior drawing results. Basically, subtitution used defaults A=1 to 9, B=10-19, C=20-29, D=30-39, E=40-49 and F=50-52 to analyze past results on a position-position basis. There are 252 alphabetical sequences representing all possible number combinations, 21 pairs each for positions 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6; 56 triples for positions 1-2-3, 2-3-4 and 3-4-5. Also 10 X.Y charts showing number pairs, without regard to position (10 charts instead of 40). So far, my data shows that sequence BBCDE has come up more often than any other. AB is popular in P1-2, BC in P2-3, DE in P3-4, EF/DE in P4-5; ABC in P1-2-3, BCD in P2-3-4 and DEE in P3-4-5. Hot sheets give good indication of what might come next. Would appreciate comments.
