I haven't been getting any hits with this either. I like the idea because it's so simple, but nothing to show for it so far!!

Combinations & % Error ChallengeReply
LP has a 2if5 wheel with 25 combinations that uses all the numbers in a 5/39 game. Granted playing $25 with a win expectation of $1 doesn't look all that great, but it costs nothing to experiment with the wheel. The wheel is unbalanced; 1 number will appear 7 times, 6 numbers 4 time, 30 numbers 3 times, and 2 of the numbers will appear twice. It might be easier to break this wheel down and create a system that raises the win expectation than using a system that is more expensive to play.

Quick Picks can't match the power of Self PicksReply
I understand it just fine. He never said it isn't theoretically possible, but you haven't claimed to turn a profit, which would be the analogy to winning with nothing but field goals. If what you win is less than what you bet, you lose. You're free to think that you're doing well or that you're getting closer, but you're deluding yourself if you think you're winningwhen you aren't even breaking even.

Preferred lottery prediction methodsReply
I couldn't believe my luck. I played some numbers and it hit, but only once. I played a few time again and nothing. I just don't understand the logic. Isn't Lottery drawings supposed to be random? I posted again because I think I posted in the wrong section.

Another stupid math questionReply
In that case, then the chance of getting nothing from 3 $2 ticket is 76%*76$*76%=45%, the chance of getting at least one prize from them is 1-45%=55%.

A Better Method for Pick3Reply
PaurthsI thought you had the entire database as one giant 87,000 - didn't realize it was State by State - a little thought on my end should have figured it was State by State. No, certainly nothing to do with errors.

PaurthsI see, you have your database setup the opposite of what I thought.It's nothing critical...you've done a massive amount of work already. My experiences simply showed that you can't necessarily count on predicting with results of that type.

A Better Method for Pick3Reply
I just looked at a visual of this , and the last thing i wrote is not exactly true, that about 1 in 3 times on of the gems will follow.It happens a lot that two or more of the mirrors totals fall together within 7 draws, before a gem$, so the count is still valid, but the 1 in 3 odds are not correct. In fact, i think it rather goes to 1 in 8 or something... i will have to check my code again for this counter.Also i noticed that it works some periods, then nothing comes at all.They also like t

The Math and The LotteryReply
RJOH nailed this discussion before it ever got started. That is, number crunching is entertaining, and there is nothing wrong with that, but so far no one has come up with a system to break the bank. It seems that LUCK is still the big factor in winning a major jackpot.
