Hi bobp. I've read a lot of your post. You seem to be an expert when it comes to the lottery and so i just wanted to get your opinion (as well as others who would like to share) on the program "windows lotto pro 2004". Have u ever tried it? If so, where does it stand compared to all the other programs? I'm basically looking for a program that eliminates digits for pick 3/4, rather than predicting numbers. Lotto Pro seemed to work more times than not from my experience. The only problem is that i can't give it credit because the version i tried expired and so i can't say for sure that the program is consistently effective for my intentions.
Thanks.
At various times I've run Pick-3 draw data through Lotto Pro and was never impressed, nor have I been impressed with any Pick-3 software over time.
The original Lotto Pro ran a template against past draw history and put numbers into hats based on hot, cold, due and previous draw, then picked randomly from these hats. The last version I tested no longer picked randomly and instead picked the hottest, coldest, etc. At that point I stopped testing because I could do the same thing with other software, it was the unique everyone got something different every time that made the program "lucky" for some. I guess people prefer consistancy to luck.
No program I've seen has found a way to "predict" the winning lottery numbers even when allowed to select over half the field. I'm reaching the conclusion you're better off letting the program pick all the numbers and looking for blocks of numbers among the picks where winning numbers often appear and throwing those on a wheel.
