BobP
With respect I disagree.
For a pick 6 from 49 Lottery my system tracks 13,983,816 specifications and six sub specifications and when they are filled with numbers.
For a particular Lotto History the results after a 1000 Draw run can be agregated. For the particular scenario being mooted here I can state uneqivocally that the results would produce for the lower prizes a return less than that obtained by random numbers.
On the other hand if the 164 Combinations you gave me are played for the Wisconsin Lotto they produce very good results. For 500 draws they give 3 fives to give a percentage return of 24% compared to an expected 15%. BobP's 164 lines are in the SUMS thread (some interesting reading there).
Let's not play with the truth or be too kind. If something when the facts are considered shouldn't work and in practice doesn't work then it doesn't work - ditch it.
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
Kind regards
