Used to be able to go to luckygene and test wheels with past results, then they went pay.
I have found smaller pools with good coverage to work better. My two threads on EASY5 and Lotto (LA)
show some of my experiments. I've not been doing them lately. There used to be a software called Lottery Statistics Analyzer (LSA). The website is down now. His system, which is I suspect adopted by other systems, is called MNA. Used to be on wikipedia entry for wheeling. I will include it below. I used to use it and did get some hits because of the coverage. Interesting. Here follows the wikipedia entry that they removed:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximized Number Arrangement (MNA)
MNA is a wheel in which the target result is to cover as many different winning combinations as possible within the tickets purchased without repeating a single winning combination.
Example:
In a pick 6 draw with prizes for 3, 4, 5 and 6 hits the player has 42 chances to win per line played. Combination Count Possible Combinations
3 Balls 20 XXXOOO, XXOXOO, XXOOXO, XXOOOX, XOXXOO
XOXOXO, XOXOOX, XOOXXO, XOOXOX, XOOOXX
OXXXOO, OXXOXO, OXXOOX, OXOXXO, OXOXOX
OXOOXX, OOXXXO, OOXXOX, OOXOXX, OOOXXX
4 Balls 15 XXXXOO, XXXOXO, XXXOOX, XXOXXO, XXOXOX
XXOOXX, XOXXXO, XOXXOX, XOXOXX, XOOXXX
OXXXXO, OXXXOX, OXXOXX, OXOXXX, OOXXXX
5 Balls 6 XXXXXO, XXXXOX, XXXOXX, XXOXXX, XOXXXX
OXXXXX
6 Balls 1 XXXXXX
If a single line were to cost $1 to play then that single ticket gives the player (100 / 42) = 2.38c per possible winning combination within the bet.
For the pick 6 draw, a correctly configured MNA will always maintain the 2.38c per bet regardless of the number of tickets played.
The following wheel demonstrates a basic MNA
------------------------------ Start ------------------------------
01 06 07 10 12 15
02 05 09 11 12 13
03 04 08 10 12 14
------------------------------ End ------------------------------
3 Ball Combinations = 60 out of 60 possible within 3 tickets: 100.00%
4 Ball Combinations = 45 of 45 possible within 3 tickets: 100.00%
5 Ball Combinations = 18 of 18 possible within 3 tickets: 100.00%
6 Ball Combinations = 3 of 3 possible within 3 tickets: 100.00%
Total unique combinations = 126 of 126 possible unique combinations within 3 tickets: 100.00%
The new bet price divided by the unique combinations in the 3 line wheel = 300 / 126 =2.38c per
Therefore, it can be said the MNA is designed to cover the maximum number of unique combinations within the tickets played providing the player with the best possible coverage for the money spent.
The result is an overall increase of prizes covered per play compared to wheels that inherently repeat combinations .
