Introduction:
Would you be surprised to learn your method of playing the
lottery makes it virtually impossible to win?
Actually it depends on what your definition of win is.
Optimal lottery playing strategy calls for a decision to be
made to target lower tier prizes or to go for the jackpot. If
you don't know which your lottery system or software was
designed to do, chances are it aims to make users happy with a
series of small regular wins.
It is only common sense when creating a system to be used by
the general public to ward off complaints with a method that
provides a strong chance of three number wins and maybe the
occasional four number win to give the impression you're on
the right track.
It has taken me many years of research and lotto play to learn
the information you are about to review. Some information is
directly contradictory to current advice, it may help to
explain why you haven't already won. If your lottery playing
expertise hasn't reached the level where this information
proves helpful, print and save a copy for another time.
Why We Win Why We Lose
There are two sets of odds we deal with in the lottery once we
get past buying just one combination.
When you buy more than six numbers among a group of
combinations for a drawing there are specific odds that come
into play telling us the chances of having some to all the
winning numbers among those we are playing. Then there are
also the odds of winning prizes once you have winning numbers
among those you are playing.
Here's a good example using a typical 6/49 game.
You decide to play 12 numbers in two combinations. While the
odds of having six winning numbers among any six numbers are 1
in 13.9 million, the odds of having six winning numbers among
any 12 randomly chosen numbers are 1 in 15,134. Now you know
why it's better to play more than one combination.
Let's take a look at the odds of having winning numbers among
groups of 12, 18 and 22 randomly selected numbers in a typical
6/49 game . . .
6 if 12 = 1 in 15,134.00
5 if 12 = 1 in 477.20
4 if 12 = 1 in 42.42
3 if 12 = 1 in 8.18
6 if 18 = 1 in 753.28
5 if 18 = 1 in 52.65
4 if 18 = 1 in 9.83
3 if 18 = 1 in 3.81
6 if 22 = 1 in 187.42
5 if 22 = 1 in 19.67
4 if 22 = 1 in 5.45
3 if 22 = 1 in 3.10
Take the line "6 if 22 = 1 in 187.42" it is telling you to
expect to average having all six winning numbers among your 22
one time in 187.42 tries. If you don't have all six winning
numbers among your 22 in the first 187.42 tries then you can
hope for two times within 374.84 tries. Of course you might
get lucky and have all six among your 22 on the first try, see
what happens if you do . . .
Odds of winning a prize.
6 with 6 among 12 numbers played = 1 in 924.00
5 with 6 among 12 numbers played = 1 in 25.67
4 with 6 among 12 numbers played = 1 in 4.11
3 with 6 among 12 numbers played = 1 in -2.31
6 with 6 among 18 numbers played = 1 in 18,564.00
5 with 6 among 18 numbers played = 1 in 257.83
4 with 6 among 18 numbers played = 1 in 18.75
3 with 6 among 18 numbers played = 1 in 4.22
6 with 6 among 22 numbers played = 1 in 74,613.00
5 with 6 among 22 numbers played = 1 in 777.22
4 with 6 among 22 numbers played = 1 in 41.45
3 with 6 among 22 numbers played = 1 in 6.66
Now you know the horrible truth. The more numbers you play
the better your odds of having the winning numbers among them
and the worsening of your odds of winning a prize.
What about wheeling? Wheeling is a net of numbers woven to
catch a prize. Any two combinations containing 12 different
numbers guarantees at least two 3# prizes if six winning
numbers should fall among them, hence you see a negative -2.31
in the chart above. This is because the most likely result of
having six winning numbers fall among 12 is 3 on a side, while
the odds go up to 1 in 924 of them all landing on one side or
the other. You might note a full wheel containing all the
combinations necessary to guarantee a 6# jackpot win with all
six winning numbers among the 12 also happens to be 924
combinations.
What keeps things interesting for lottery players is a wheel
to guarantee a 4# prize when all six winning numbers fall
among 12 wheeled requires only 6 combinations. While it takes
77 wheeled combinations to provide a 95% chance of a 4# win
when all six winning numbers fall among 22 being played. Plus
you can always luck out and do much better than guaranteed.
To sum up what we've learned so far . . . it doesn't matter
whether we wheel 12, 18 or 22 numbers, the odds of having all
six winning numbers among them isn't very good and the odds of
winning a jackpot when we do is slim to none.
So the first question we ask at this point is why we don't get
all six winning numbers among the 12, 18 or 22 numbers
wheeled?
Why We Don't Pick the Winning Numbers:
Number Distribution is the key to everything about the lottery
you need to know. There are many distributions in the lottery
from the ratios of odd and even, low and high numbers, to how
many numbers come from each decade, share the same last digit,
etc.
The most important distribution in the lottery is the one that
tells us where the winning numbers come from.
To find where the winning numbers come from we need to build a
chart not generally found in lottery systems and software. To
do so we need to select a range of history to work with and to
define our terms.
Our first step is to decide how much history to use. We want
to give every number an equal chance to perform within the
scope of what's happening now. We could use the last 50 or
100 previous draws, but the lottery could have changed out
their ballsets or repaired a machine which could mean relying
on outdated information.
The best range known to date, is to use enough draws so every
number has the opportunity to be drawn twice. In a 6/48 game
6 goes into 48 eight times which means in 8 draws each number
has one chance to be drawn. To give each number two chances
to be drawn we'd have to use the last 16 draws. In a 6/53
game like Florida we would divide 6 into 53 to get 8.83 or 9
and use the last 18 draws for our data.
Working with the Florida 6/53 game . . .
On scrap paper we list all the numbers in our game and using
the history from the last 18 drawings we make a mark next to
the numbers for each time they were drawn. This gives us a
chart like this . . .
For draw 874 based on draws 856 through 873 (04/10 - 06/08/02)

""
Simple enough frequency chart to make isn't it, takes about
two minutes on a piece of scrap paper with the game history in
hand.
Next we want to arrange the numbers in the order of those that
hit most to least or you could say "Hot" to "Cold" and
transfer that information to graph paper as we'll stack a pile
of these charts like steps to see where winning numbers fall
in the game. After the draw we go back and highlight the
winning numbers (*).

See the 20 5 below under draw number 916, that means the
number 20 had 5 hits in the last 18 draws. See the 36* 5

in the last 18 draws and was drawn as one of the winning

You're seeing here the actual raw data showing where the
winning numbers came from positionally in columns of numbers
ranged from "Hot" to "Cold" based on hits in the last 18
draws.
The chart above should be more enlightening printed out and
viewed as a whole. Trouble with demonstration charts is how
they look like just a big bucket of numbers. Until you make
your own charts, your focus and subconscious can't go to work
on interpreting, so the above chart won't make much sense.
For now we'll condense the above chart along with the last 50
draws from the Florida 6/53 in order to make the point, your
chart you'll need to determine for your own lotto game.
The key is to define our terms. For the purposes of the above
chart and the following condensed chart we'll stipulate . . .
HOT: A number with 3 or more hits in the last 18 draws.
AVERAGE: A number with 1 or 2 hits in the last 18 draws.
COLD: A number with zero hits in the last 18 draws.
(If the need arises, Average can be split into Warm Average (2
hits) and Cool Average (1 hit). Hot can be split into Just
Hot (3 hits) and Hot (4 or more hits). Cold can be split into
Just Cold and Very Cold. Do what works for you as necessary.)
X/Y = Hits / Number of Hot, Average, Cold.
FL 6/53 in groups of 18 draws 856 - 873 through 905 - 922
Hot 3 or more, Average 1 or 2, Cold 0 Zero, hits.

Direct your attention to the "Hot" number column. What should
leap out at you is how the "Hot" numbers do not have more than
four winning numbers!
Hot numbers contribute from one to four numbers toward winning
the jackpot, at no time does the jackpot come from Hot numbers
alone. Playing "Hot" numbers virtually guarantees you won't
get the chance to win a lottery jackpot!
Next look at the "Cold" numbers and you'll see any strategy
based on waiting for those Cold Due numbers to all hit
together is not going to happen.
What about the strategy of playing the Hot and Cold numbers?
There is only one draw in fifty where this would have worked,
not an opportunity that comes around often enough to take
advantage of.
To put this into perspective. Your software picks the hottest
12 to 22 numbers to wheel, a nice 3 if 3 or 4 if 6 wheel would
give you some three number wins or a lucky four number hit
about 19 times in 50 and we're talking a high odds 6/53 game
so winning several times a month sure looks like we're on the
right path. The reality is, at no time in the last 50 draws,
was a jackpot ever possible playing the Hot numbers.
How about playing all the numbers? Have you ever looked at
one of the wheels that plays all the numbers? Look really
close and you'll find they are really made up of two or more
totally independent wheels. What does this mean . . . ?
Most of these split or Franken-Wheels start with an excellent
3if3in22number77combination wheel, what a coincidence your Hot
numbers would land in that portion so you'd see some lower
tier wins. The rear portion is a 3if4 wheel, so if the worse
case scenario comes up and Hot contributes only zero one or
two winning numbers to the 3if3 portion, then there would have
to be four or more winning numbers for the rump portion to win
a three number prize and so the "guarantee" of a 3 number win.
These split wheels turn up in all sizes. It's not uncommon to
find the favored 3if6in24number20combination wheel to be made
of a 3if3 and a 3if4 portion often intertwined in an attempt
to disguise its flawed construction. Even 3if5of6 wheels are
not immune being made up of two 3if3 wheels. These wheels
seem ingenious often being tighter than a properly made wheel,
but don't be fooled as they make it harder to win.
Remember the odds of getting winning numbers among those
played? If your split wheel front end is 12, 18 or 22 numbers
the odds of having all the winning numbers among them is
greatly reduced compared to playing a non-split wheel. You
might as well be playing two totally independent wheels,
either way your odds of getting all six winning numbers on one
side or the other are the same as getting all odd or all even
or all high or all low numbers on one side or the other. OUCH!
At this point you will usually be reminded every combination
has an equal chance of being drawn, so how can being part of
one kind of wheel make them less likely than being part of
another? To understand this you need to know a little bit
about how odds work in the real world.
There is a big difference between an event being possible in
every drawing and how often an event is likely to occur.
It's just common sense, the more there are of a thing in a pot
the more likely you will pull one out in a draw.
Some will say there is exactly one type of each combination,
only we're not talking about combinations right now, we're
talking about having the numbers that make up the winning
combination being among a group of numbers we're playing.
Say you have a pot with 500 white marbles and 10 blue and you
give the thing a good shake. Without looking try drawing a
blue marble, what color would you expect to find in your hand?
Obviously anything could have happened, but reality is more
often than not a white marble will be drawn. If you didn't
put the drawn marbles back, white marbles would be drawn 500
times and blue 10 times. If you did put the marble back after
each draw it is highly unlikely you'd draw a blue marble at
any time.
Now let's change things around. Instead of 500 white marbles
and 10 blue, we'll try 255 white and 255 blue, now how many
white and blue marbles would you expect to have in your hand
after six draws? After 24 draws? The odds now favor half and
half every time.
In a typical 6/49 game before the first ball is drawn we know
to expect the following breakdown off odd and even, low and
high, with an approximate range of hotter to colder numbers to
follow.
3/3 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 4,655,200 = 33.28(991)%
4/2 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 3,491,400 = 24.96(743)%
2/4 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 3,187,800 = 22.79(635)%
5/1 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 1,275,120 = 09.11(854)%
1/5 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 1,062,600 = 07.59(878)%
6/0 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 177,100 = 01.26(646)%
0/6 odd/even, low/high, hot-av/g-cold = 134,596 = 00.96(251)%
The hot-cold ratio isn't as precise as the odd/even, low/high,
numbers and simply divides the field somewhere within the
average numbers as if hot were numbers with two or more hits
and cold were numbers with one or none. What matters is how
the distribution shows what balances need to be in your
combinations to have a chance at winning in the most possible
draws over time.
The breakdown chart above could be counter-intuitive as many
people would look at it and think they should play 3/3
odd/even, low/high, hot-cold on every ticket to have a shot at
winning in one third of all drawings. Nothing could be
further from the truth!
The odds of the three 3/3 groups hitting together are . . .
YYY, YYN, YNY, NYY, YNN, NYN, NNY, NNN or 1 in 8 of the 1 draw
in 3 this opportunity arises.
Do you filter your combinations? If your first step is to
remove all but 3/3 odd/even, low/high combinations the chances
of winning a jackpot are slim indeed.
The trick if there can be said to be one, is to make
combinations like those that win in your game and to avoid the
extreme long shots when trying to win a jackpot. This means
selecting or building combinations with a good assortment of
qualities.
In other words, well constructed combinations can contain 1 to
5 odd, even, low, high and 0 to 4 hot, average or cold numbers
for a jackpot attempt. If we break these down into three
groups covering all the numbers we see 17 working proportions.

There are 28 ways to split the numbers up into three groups as
shown below, of course some distributions are less likely.
01-16 17-33 34-49
6 0 0 = 8,008 combinations unlikely
0 6 0 = 8,008 combinations unlikely
0 0 6 = 8,008 combinations unlikely
5 1 0 = 69,888 combinations rare
5 0 1 = 69,888 combinations rare
1 5 0 = 69,888 combinations rare
1 0 5 = 69,888 combinations rare
0 5 1 = 69,888 combinations rare
0 1 5 = 69,888 combinations rare
4 2 0 = 69,888 combinations rare
4 0 2 = 218,400 combinations fair
2 4 0 = 218,400 combinations fair
2 0 4 = 218,400 combinations fair
0 2 4 = 218,400 combinations fair
0 4 2 = 218,400 combinations fair
4 1 1 = 495,040 combinations good
1 4 1 = 495,040 combinations good
1 1 4 = 495,040 combinations good
3 3 0 = 1,142,400 combinations better
3 0 3 = 1,142,400 combinations better
3 2 1 = 1,142,400 combinations better
3 1 2 = 1,142,400 combinations better
1 3 2 = 1,142,400 combinations better
2 3 1 = 1,142,400 combinations better
1 2 3 = 1,142,400 combinations better
2 1 3 = 1,142,400 combinations better
2 2 2 = 1,958,400 combinations best
Best 2-2-2 is still only 2 million out of 13.9 million
combinations so we need a good mix in any combinations we
make. If it seems confusing at first, the thing to remember
from all this is to have a good assortment in picking your
numbers. What really hurts your chances is having everything
one way and the winning combination comes in another. You are
better off with some chances to win in almost every draw than
waiting for a type of draw that may not be drawn at all.
How to Eliminate Some Numbers:
Even though we'd like to put all the numbers into play, the
cost can be prohibitive. Even the addition of a few numbers
to a game sends the odds soaring and eliminating a few numbers
has the reverse effect.
The Florida game odds were raised from 6/49's 1 in 13.9
million to 6/53's 1 in 22.9 million. Four additional numbers
almost doubled the odds!!! On the other hand the successful
elimination of four or more numbers has an exactly opposite
effect lowering the odds an equal amount.
The standard method of eliminating numbers to bring a 6/53
game back to a 6/49 or to bring a 6/49 to 6/48 for wheeling or
even to 6/43 to eliminate 8 million combinations, is to not
play some or all of the numbers drawn in the prior draw. 45%
of the time none of the numbers from the prior draw are drawn
again in the next.
In other words, if on Sat. 12/07/02 01-03-07-32-34-49 is drawn
don't play any of those numbers in the next draw. On Wed
12/11/02 08-10-15-24-48-53 was drawn containing none of the
numbers from the previous drawing. This trick works about 45%
of the time and more often if you only eliminate one or two of
the previous drawn numbers for an easy divide by six.
The reason lotteries use games like 6/49 rather than 6/48 is
to make it harder (requiring more combinations) to cover the
numbers evenly. You can play all 48 numbers on 8 combinations,
but it becomes confusing trying to cover all 49 when 5 have to be
specially picked to go with the 49th.
How to Eliminate More Numbers
Sometimes you want to remove more than six numbers from play
at a time. The following method does this again about 45% of
the time. It can NOT be used in conjunction with the above
method of eliminating the previous six numbers, in fact it
requires you play them.
Print out the last 20 draws or more, whatever's easiest.
Draw a line after the most recent 3, the next most recent 3,
then most recent 4, and the next two most recent 3. This
gives us two groups of 3 draws, followed by a group of 4 draws
and finally two more groups of 3 draws. Like this . . .
Group E
907 10/05/02 Sat 09-15-16-26-28-42

Write out the numbers in your game, in this case it would be
from 01 to 53.
If the number appears in group A or C make a check next to it.
When done you should have 42 check marks. Count them.
If the number appears in group B or E and is not already
checked, put an "X" next to it. (ignore those with checks)
Play the numbers with and without check marks, don't play the
numbers with "X" next to them.
Let's see how this works out . . .
01 ** 16 X 31 * 46
02 X 17 ** 32 * 47 X
03 18 33 48 *
04 * 19 * 34 * 49
05 *** 20 ** 35 50 X
06 21 ** 36 * 51 *
07 * 22 * 37 *** 52 X
08 23 *** 38 * 53
09 * 24 X 39 **
10 X 25 * 40 *
11 ** 26 X 41 X
12 ** 27 * 42 X
13 28 * 43
14 29 ** 44 *
15 X 30 45
As you can see we have 42 checks [*] and 11 with an "X" so we
eliminated 11 numbers from play.
And the winning draw on 923 11/30/02 Sat was 05-07-12-13-43-49
all from the checked and blank numbers a success!!!
As I said this works about 45% of the time. When it does as
in this case we eliminated 11 numbers from play taking the
game from a 6/53 at 1 in 22.9 million odds to a 6/42 at 1 in
5.2 million, a 17.7 million combination reduction in odds!!!
If this had been a 6/49 at 1 in 13.9 million combinations game
the successful elimination of 11 numbers would make it a 6/38
game for the draw at 1 in 2.8 million and this is before
you've created your first combination!
The Incredible Super Wheel
It's nice to know what a winning combination should look like
and the balances of hot to cold, odd to even, low to high that
should be in it. You should keep those factors in mind when
picking your numbers, for we have here the wheel that can make
you a millionaire.
Yes folks, this is the Lotto-Logix Miracle Super Wheel
appearing here for the first time anywhere (I know of).
How would you like a wheel whose matrix is so simple you can
carry it in your head? Perfect for when on vacation to play
any state Pick-6 game.
How would you like a wheel you can use whether you play only
one six-number combination or hundreds?
How would you like to walk right around the 3if6 wheels to go
after the higher tier prizes at lower playing costs for you?
How would you like a wheel that can put multiple 4-number prizes
or a 5- or 6-number prize in your hands if its conditions are met?
Here is how it works . . .
Write out the amount of numbers you want to play, put a line
between them in groups of 3, like this. 01-02-03 | 04-05-06 |
for as many numbers as you like up to all the numbers in your
game. To demonstrate we'll start with 18 numbers.
01-02-03 | 04-05-06| 07-08-09| 10-11-12 | 13-14-15 | 16-17-18
With the distribution concepts we learned, we would make a
wheel like this with a hot, an average and a cold number under
each pointer number alternating between odd and even, low and
high numbers. Try to randomize the selection, don't just take
the first of each, the second of each next, that rarely works.
To play we put each 3 number subset into contact with every
other one time. Like I'm doing here with the pointer place
holder numbers, of course you'd be doing this with the numbers
you selected in the place of the pointer numbers . . .
01-02-03 | 04-05-06

15 combinations covering 18 numbers, what could happen?
If you get 2 sets of 3 right, GUARANTEED JACKPOT!!!
If you get 1 set of 3 right and a set of 2 Guaranteed 5-number win!!
If you get 1 set of 3 right and 1 number guaranteed 4-number win!
Any set of 3 right guarantees multiple 3-number wins!!!
Even a set of 2 right and 1 number in another means a 3-number win.
How can you lose? Have only 1 or none right per 3-number set.
Playing One Combination:
Make up two subsets of 3 with the balances in mind and combine
to make one combination.
Playing 12 Numbers:
Make up four subsets of 3 with the balances in mind and
combine to make six combinations.

04-05-06 | 07-08-09
04-05-06 | 10-11-12
07-08-09 | 10-11-12
Playing All the Numbers:
It takes 120 such combinations made up of subsets of 3
numbers to cover 6/48. We can cover the full 49 by taking
the 46-47-48 group and adding fifteen 46-47-49 additional
plays for each subgroup combining. Like this . . .
01-02-03 | 04-05-06
01-02-03 | 07-08-09 on to
01-02-03 | 46-47-48 and we add
01-02-03 | 46-47-49 until we reach
43-44-45 | 46-47-48 and
43-44-45 | 46-47-49 or we could use our elimination routines
to take one or more numbers out of play for the draw.
When playing all the numbers, we have the opportunity to make
up subsets that reflect the various opportunities we learned
about in the charts above.
For example: You can have some subsets with 2 or 3 hot
numbers, some with 2 or 3 average numbers and some with a hot
and two average, or two hot and a cold, etc.
When playing all the numbers, or when we have all the numbers
after successfully eliminating some from play, some additional
guarantees come into effect.
As before any two subgroups of 3 numbers guarantees a jackpot.
As before any subgroup of three means there must be three
numbers among the remaining subgroups. If there is a subgroup
with 2 of the winning numbers then you must have a 5-number
and a 4-number win.
If there are three subgroups with 1 number than you must
have three 4-number wins plus multiple 3-number wins from
the subgroup with 3 correct. Even a sub group with two
correct and four subgroups with one number correct means
at least four 3-number wins. The only way to lose is to have
only one or none numbers correct per subgroup.
Here is the complete wheel for playing all the 6/49 numbers
ready to copy and paste into your software for loading and if
you like a little fine edge filtering if you have a program
like Lottery Director or even its free demo which allows you
to import pointer number place holder wheel lines. Download a
copy at http://www.ldir.com/ or you can import to CoverMaster
and exchange numbers, practice first on a small wheel as it
won't print your exchanged numbers unless you save it and open
it in notepad for printing. 135 combinations.

Do NOT play the pointer numbers, clusters of three numbers in
sequential numeric order are rare and two sets of three
numbers in sequential numeric order in the same combination
almost unheard of.
One thing that makes this wheel so powerful, is every twelve
numbers played in every possible way four subsets of three
numbers can be combined each make a 100% 4if6in12number wheel.
So you are not only playing a big 100% 6if6if3and3in49number
wheel you are also playing so many 4if6in12number wheels I
can't pick them all out.
Economy System
Not ready for the Super Wheel or want to use the hot, average,
cold distribution for Pick-5 or Pick-7? Here's how to do it.
Examine your game's past draw history focusing on the lowest
drawn number in each winning combination. Here's some Florida
draws . . .
12/04/02 15-27-29-34-38-48
12/07/02 01-03-07-32-34-49
12/11/02 08-10-15-24-48-53
12/14/02 06-14-18-36-39-45
12/18/02 02-04-19-24-26-45
12/21/02 09-20-21-34-37-47
12/25/02 07-13-21-29-39-47
12/28/02 22-23-29-35-38-50
Excluding any real aberrations, see how the first numbers run
from 01 to somewhere between 20 and 25. This gives us a
min-max range for the first number and suggests how many lines
to put into play. Go with a figure that would apply to
roughly 9 out of 10 drawings over the last 100 draws.
We write out the numbers 01 through 20 or 22 or 25, whatever
works for your game, down the left side of a sheet of paper.
We are now virtually guaranteed to have a combination with the
first drawn number correct.
For the next part you need any lottery software that will tell
you what numbers hit together most often in your game.
Numbers that hit together are generally referred to as "Pairs"
or "Co-Occurrence" and will be found on a Pairs Chart. As the
stock market guys would say in their ads, "Past results are
not always an indicator of future performance." but it's all
we have to work with. There really isn't a lot of other good
reasons to select any particular number for your combinations.
Your Pairs history doesn't have to be current to the latest
draw so if you don't have good lottery software you can use
the Pairs Chart in the demo of Lottery Director software found
here http://www.ldir.com
We already have the first number for each combination, so find
the number that was paired with each of these most often and
write it next to the first number. Next find the number that
paired off most often with our new second number in the line.
Of course if we would have two of any number just go to the
next most often paired, can't have two of the same numbers in
a combination you know.
Stop when you have four numbers in the daisy chain of most
paired together for each line. At this point it doesn't
matter how screwy the combinations look, we can bring them
back into conformance with our final completing numbers.
With this system we want to put most or all the numbers into
play so run through what you have so far and see if any
numbers are missing you wanted to use, make a list of these to
be sure to work in.
Review each combination for the expected 1/5, 2/4, 3/3, 4/2,
5/1 balances of Odd/Even, Low/High, Hot/Average/Cold and use
any number that "feels right" to complete the combinations.
If you are really into the balances often referred to as
"filtering" it helps to remember almost every winning
combination has at least one variance that would cause it to
be deleted, so don't be too tough on what to allow.
Pick-5 games are generally smaller than Pick-6, so expect to
have only 15 to 20 lines to cover the lowest drawn numbers.
While there are min-max ranges for each position in the
winning combinations (remember we're modeling on combination
styles that win, not just any combination possible) they don't
guarantee a winning number on the same line with the lowest
drawn winning number. To do so positionally would still take
millions of combinations. That said you can consider such
when selecting your finishing numbers for your combinations.
Someday I expect there will be software that will do all this
for us, until such time we must build combinations by hand.
Suggestions for improving this system are welcome and may
possibly be added to this article without credit given, feel
free to help your fellow lottery player.

How to Win Your Pick-6 Lottery Game
When All Else Fails How To Pick Numbers With Cards, Cash and Dice
When all else fails, there is nothing like playing random against random. Why shouldn't the same process that keeps us from winning work equally well against itself? These methods call upon Lady Luck to help us select winning lottery numbers.How to use playing cards to select lottery numbers.
The simple method is to grab an old deck and with permanent marker write 0-9 three or four times for Pick-3/4. For larger games mark the cards with the game numbers. Discard unused cards. Shuffle and deal draw size hands until the cards run out. The more complicated method is to assign each card a value. Clubs: Ace - 10 = 01 - 10 Diamonds: Ace - 10 = 11 - 20 Hearts: Ace - 10 = 21 - 30 Spades: Ace - 10 = 31 - 40 Clubs Face: J = 41, Q = 42, K = 43 Diamonds Face: J = 44, Q = 45, K = 46 Hearts Face: J = 47, Q = 48, K = 49 Spades Face: J = 50, Q = 51, K = 52, Joker: = 53 For larger games add hand marked cards to the deck as necessary. Shuffle and deal draw size hands until cards run out. For the incomplete hand, return all other cards to the deck, shuffle and draw from them until the short hand is a complete combination. This method works better than expected, because it puts all the numbers into play. With Pick-5/6 only 5 or 6 lines or less may have winning numbers among them so we are automatically playing in a reduced odds game of 5/25 or 6/36.How to use cash to select lottery numbers
Every bill has a unique serial number. Unless the bills are brand new in original banded stacks, the order of serial numbers will have been totally randomized by human events. Take bills randomly acquired since the previous draw and note their serial numbers. Here's what I have today . . . K74226595F H63814337A L93041384P EA29203219B GC48355930A Looking at k 74226595 F I see a 7, a 4, a 42, a 22, a 26, We can also take the 74, and reverse it to 47. Better to move on to the next bill then use all the single digits in a serial number otherwise we become overburdened with numbers between 01 and 09. Of course for Pick-3/4 we like 7-4-2, 7-4-2-2, 4-2-2, 4-2-2-6, 2-2-6, 2-2-6-5 and so on.How to select lottery numbers using dice
There are several ways to select lottery numbers using dice. The first and most obvious is to roll a single die, adding each number on to the previous and wheeling the string. Therefore . . . First roll will be between 01 and 06. Second roll will be between 02 and 12. Third roll will be between 03 and 18. Fourth roll will be between 04 and 24. Fifth roll will be between 05 and 30. Sixth roll will be between 06 and 36. Seventh roll will be between 07 and 42 Eighth roll will be between 08 and 48. Ninth roll will be between 09 and 54. Say the first roll is a 2. Second roll is a 5, this means our first playable number is a 2 and our second is 2 + 5 = 7 so we have 2 and 7 so far. Our third toss is 4, so 7 + 4 = 11 we now have 2-7-11. Fourth roll is 1 so 11 + 1 is 12 we have 2-7-11-12. Fifth roll is a 6 so 12 + 6 is 18 and so on until we have somewhere from 9 to 12 numbers to wheel. Another method is to use one die for the first roll and two or three dice for the remaining rolls. For those who prefer numbers in the higher range use two or three dice for each toss. As above, add the results from the roll to the number from the previous roll. For Pick-3/4 throw two dice per digit. We must use the numbers 2-11 for 0-9. 2 = 0 3 = 1 4 = 2 5 = 3 6 = 4 7 = 5 8 = 6 9 = 7 10 = 8 11 = 9 12 = discard throw Results will be somewhat skewed toward the central digits because there are more ways to make them. This isn't all bad because more formed Pick-3/4 numbers also come from the center range than the outer ranges for the same reason. Remember: For the 120 boxed all different Pick-3 numbers only 10 are all low digits and only 10 are all high digits.How to use dominos to select lottery numbers
The dominos are placed face down on a table and swirled about. As each is turned over it is added to the previous to create the next number in turn, like the dice method. Likewise they can also be turned over in groups of two or three and added to the previous number to form the next.How to use the lottery to select numbers
Write out all the numbers for the game. Working back through past draws, scratch off the numbers that have already been drawn. When down to a reasonable number of unscratched numbers, play them on a wheel. While it is relatively rare, for every time all the winning numbers are found among the last x number of draws, there is expected an equal number of times none of the winning numbers will be found in the same number of recent past draws, hence the method.How to use coins to select lottery numbers
While I've heard of systems of using coin flips to mark each number in turn with a yes or no, I've never heard of anyone using such a system more than once. There have been reports of winners using cats, dogs, children, dart boards, dreams, fortune cookies, magic candles, parrots, washers and dryers to pick numbers. I'm more ready to believe such claims are used to hide the real means of number selection by winners who think they've found the magic formula.If all else fails, stand the game on its head
Carefully select your numbers for play, discard them and pick from the remaining numbers.

Two big fat bloated Pick-5 games and I thought Florida was tough
to beat at 1 in 23 million, these are six to seven times harder.
Your odds of winning a jackpot are effectively zero whether you
buy one ticket or one hundred tickets.
The real truth comes out when we look at the 5of5 prizes.
Mega Millions 5of5 = $250,000
Powerball 5of5 = $200,000
These second prizes are well within the reach of local Pick-5
games at 5/36 to 5/39 odds. If $200,000 or $250,000 would make
your day, play these smaller games instead of Powerball and
Mega Millions.
Sorry, maybe I haven't caught Powerball Mega Millions fever as
Florida doesn't offer these games. However, Florida lotto has
announced Powerball will start in 2009, though members of the
Florida legislature are pointing out the same lottery director
who is saying this also said Florida would never go multi-state.
Ah well, I'm prepared with a plan for when they do and I'll
share it with you right here and now.
With games this big, it's a waste of time and money to play
the standard abbreviated wheels. A 3if5in45 numbers wheel
takes over 400 lines to win what? A $7 prize, whoopee!!!
How To Win Mega Millions and Powerball
Here's how to make the directors of all Pick-5 games sweat
a little.
Form your numbers into groups of 2's and 3's your research
indicates are likely to hit together. Or in groups of 2's
and 3's that are well balanced, a low and a high number, a
odd and two even, an even and two odd, etc.
You do not need to have an equal number of each, but do not
duplicate any numbers, they must all be unique totaling no
more then the game's 55 or 56 numbers.
These are pointer numbers, you can use any numbers you like.
[01-02-03] [04-05]
[06-07-08] [09-10]
[11-12-13] [14-15]
[16-17-18] [19-20]
[21-22-23] [24-25]
What we do is play each set of 3 against every set of 2 for
a total of 5x5=25 sets. Get any 3 number and 2 number set
correct = automatic second prize worth $200,000 to $250,000.
A standard 3if5in25 number wheel requires 64 lines to cover.
If we choose to use 6 sets of 3 numbers and 4 sets of 2
numbers, they would combine to make 24 sets or lines. All
55 numbers as 11 sets of 3 and 11 sets of 2 = 121 lines.
01 02 03 04 05
01 02 03 09 10
01 02 03 14 15
01 02 03 19 20

21 22 23 14 15
21 22 23 16 20
21 22 23 24 25
end 25 lines 3 + 2 = JP
Think about what we've done here. We've walked right around
the 3if and 4if nonsense and gone right for the second prize.
Even so, the opportunity for lower tier prizes remain, as you
can see. Get 2of3 and 2of2 right that's a 4 number prize or
get 3of3 and 1of2 right, that's a 4 number prize and 5 of the
3 number prizes. Get 1of3 and 2of2 right that's a 3 number
prize.
Alternative Method
Read the chapter Win Your Lottery parts 2,3,4 and apply the
Drill Down technique to your Mega Millions Powerball game.
What about the Mega Power Ball?
There are three basic strategies for dealing with Mega Power
type balls. The one to use is best determined by watching what
has happened in the game over time to see where the winning
Mega Power Balls come from.
1. Does the Mega Power Ball tend to repeat or skip a draw and
repeat?
2. Does the Mega Power Ball tend to come in 8 or 9 draws since
it was last drawn, give or take a draw or two?
3. Does the Mega Power Ball tend to come from the 3 to 5 longest
out since last hit?
Strategy: Take the 3 to 5 most likely Mega Power Balls and
randomly rotate them against the lines you are playing.
How to Win with LD Free Wheeling
When the topic of classic lottery software comes up, Lottery Director is always among the top five. Their motto "Excellence in Lottery Software" hits the mark.
After a quarter century of making lottery players happy, the good people of Lottery Director Software decided to give back to the lottery community in the form of a totally free software called Free Wheeling.
Now I gotta tell ya, most lottery players never heard of it, and those that took a look, didn't know what to do with it. Well, you and I are going to take care of that right now.
To get a copy of Free Wheeling, go to the Lottery Director web site http://www.ldir.com while online. Download the free demo of Lottery Director. The Free Wheeling software comes with it.
After you install the software, then download and install the Game History file from the same web site. It will give you over 200 game results, and you can use them in your wheeling to eliminate combinations that have too many repeat numbers in them.
If you have a registered copy of Lottery Director, Do Not Install The Demo, it will remove your registration. Instead download and install the free LD Update. It will give you the latest version of all the software, including Free Wheeling.
After the software is installed, you should see a Lottery Director icon on your desktop. Click on it, and you'll see the icons for your LD Free Wheeling and LD Professional software. We'll be using the Free Wheeling here.
The LD Professional software has 800 wheels, including 350 Pick-6 and 250 Pick-5 wheels, filters etc. The demo never expires. The only limit in it is that you can't save your updates to a game. In the demo, you can enter numbers into your game's history, but they won't be saved when you exit the program. To update the games, you can use the weekly updates at the web site, which are a free download.
In the registered software, you can update your game using your mouse and keyboard, as well as using the download.
In either version, demo or registered, you can still wheel your numbers, filter your combinations, print playslips, and check for winners after the game's draw.
There are plenty of lottery players who use another method of picking their numbers and then turn to the free demo of Lottery Director to wheel and filter them.
Free Wheeling has four main parts. WheelGen, FastPick, PrintGen, and CheckGen.
WheelGen (Wheel Generator) makes a wheel, like the name suggests. FastPick is a quick way to get some combinations, when you don't have time for wheeling. PrintGen prints playslips, and CheckGen checks your combinations for winners after the game's draw.
We'll be using WheelGen (Wheel Generator) here.
When clicked on, the opening screen of LD Free Wheeling displays two choices for naming our wheel using up to 6 characters so we can find it again later if we need to.
The only caution here is if you might later want to import the wheel into the Lottery Director collection of wheels, you must start the wheel name with LDW and the amount of numbers in a combination. For example, a Pick-5 wheel always begins with LDW5, and a Pick-6 wheel always begins with LDW6.
The Help screen explains how to name a wheel.
Do not use the name of a pre-existing Lottery Director wheel unless you intend to replace it with your new wheel of the same name.
If you're not concerned about importing your wheel into LD wheels collection, then just go ahead and call it anything you like using six characters or less.
Suggestion: You can just use the letters "Test" for your wheel. Or just press Enter, and the software will automatically use the name "Custom".
The third screen is where we provide the software with the game or wheel size we intend to work with. In this case we're working with a 6/53 game so 6 and 53 are what's called for. That's what we'll be using.
Now in our example, we'll make a 6/53 wheel and try to drill down to our example combination Florida 6/53 06/25/2008 07-09-21-22-44-47
After 6 and 53 are entered, Free Wheeling tells us how many lines or combinations are involved before reduction. In this example 6/53 equals 22,957,480 lines.
On the bottom of the screen we're offered the option to continue (Y or N). Just press Enter to continue, or click your left mouse button.
The next Free Wheeling screen requires a bit of thought. There are three options for putting numbers into our wheel. KEYBOARD allows us to enter our numbers directly into the screen.
FILE SET will bring in numbers from a file. That's handy if you want to use the same numbers over and over, because you can put them into a plain text file using Notepad or the built-in LD Files Editor. Free Wheeling will read the file and bring your numbers into the program. When clicked on, File Set opens a screen where the user may select, in this case, any of the 53 possible numbers and save them to be recalled. Much faster when testing various filter combinations, than hand entering the numbers time and again.
POINTERS puts the numbers in numeric order, 1-2-3-4-5 etc. an 18 number wheel would have Pointers 01-18. We would use Pointers when we want to make a wheel template to import over to LD Professional to exchange for our numbers in the order we want them dropped onto the wheel template.
There's another reason for using POINTERS here. We are playing ALL the numbers from 1 to 53, so POINTERS simply saves us the job of entering each number individually. One click and they're all entered for us.
Note: You can either press a key as shown (K, F, or P), or you can click your left mouse button on one of those lines in the menu.
Also Note: You can press your F1 key for Help at any time. Let's continue with this 6/53 example. Choose POINTERS for our wheel.
We're now looking at the main Free Wheeling Filtering screen. Our objective is to remove every line, every combination, except for the jackpot winning one!
We'll start with selection A on the menu.
Mouse or Keyboard: You can click your mouse on the words "A Standard Filters", or press the "A" key on your keyboard.
Choose A -- Standard Filters. These are five filters that turn out to be anything but standard.
Sums Range: The first filter is Sum Range. Sum is the number we get when all the numbers in a combination are added together hence 07-09-21-22-44-47 = 150.
Free Wheeling is telling us the sums for a 6/53 game range from 21 to 303. The lowest combination 01-02-03-04-05-06=21, and the highest 48-49-50-51-52-53=303.
Naturally most draw sums tend to land in the mid range. Our goal is to select the smallest sum range the next draw might fall within without going outside our range.
Most lottery filtering software will provide the user with a handful of broad ranges to choose from. Free Wheeling allows the user to set one precise range excluding all others. Get this one right, you're better than halfway there.
Even Numbers: This shouldn't be confusing. It's a Pick-6 wheel, so there are six numbers in each combination. If you choose how many Even numbers you want to have in each combination, the rest will be Odd numbers. If 2 to 4 Even is selected, then all combinations will have 2, 3, or 4 Even numbers. If 2 to 2 is selected, all combinations will have only 2 Even numbers and therefore 4 Odd numbers.
Low Numbers: This works in the same way. If 1 to 5 is the selection, all combinations will have 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 Low numbers. None will have 6 Low numbers, and likewise none will have 6 High numbers. If 3 to 3 is selected, only combinations with 3 Low numbers and 3 High numbers will pass the filter.
Final Digits: There are 10 possible final digits in the numbers, running from 0 to 9. This filter allows you to decide how many of those digits will be the same. For example, 15-25-35-45 all have the same final digit, the 5. This filter is easy, because a quick look at the stats page will tell you almost 89% of winning draws are expected to have one of three outcomes.
The draws in this game will have all different final digits 20% of the time. 1-1-1-1-1-1
They will have just two digits the same, with that happening just once in the combination, 49% of the time. 2-1-1-1-1
They will have two and two digits the same, with that happening twice in the combination 20% of the time. 2-2-1-1
In this filter, a 2 to 2 selection will set it for two digits. Then you will be asked if you want to allow Multiples of those digits, with a Yes or No choice.
Here's how it works.
If you choose 1 to 1, your wheel will have combinations with none of the final digits the same. 1-1-1-1-1-1
If you choose 1 to 2 with Multiples, then you will get three outcomes. You'll get all different digits, like 7-10-15-24-31-50.
You'll also get combinations with two matching digits, like 7-11-15-24-31-50 (one match in the 11-31), and with multiple matching digits, like 7-11-17-24-31-50 (two matches in the 7-17 and 11-31). You'll also get a few combinations like 7-11-17-31-34-44 (three matches in the 7-17, 11-31, and 34-44). All together these combinations are like about 89% of the draws in the 6/53 game so while a broad filter like this is great for passing 89% when filtering a standard wheel, they are too imprecise for drilling down to a specific combination.
If you choose 2 to 2, your wheel will have combinations with two numbers having the same final digit, like 07-47. If you choose "N" without Multiples, then you will have combinations with only one set of matching final digits, like 07-09-21-22-44-47. Here the one set of matching final digits is in the 07 and 47. This happens in about 49% of the draws.
If you choose 2 to 2 "Y" with Multiples, then you can also get combinations with several sets of matching final digits, like 7-11-17-24-31-50. In this combination, the 7-17 and 11-31 are two sets of matching final digits. This happens in 20% of the draws.
To continue with our example, choose 2 to 2 with No for Multiples.
Consecutive Numbers: These are adjacent numbers in a row, like 11-12 or 19-20-21 or 33-34-35-36.
A look at stats tells us more than 2 in a row is rare. With Consecutive Numbers, no numbers in a row is 53.5% so 1 to 1 consecutive is expected in 53.5% of all draws. Two consecutive numbers 14-15 is expected in 37.3% of all draws, so selecting 2 to 2 with No to Multiples gives you those kinds of numbers. The third most likely is 2 and 3 (14-15, 42-43) with only 5% of the draws.
If you choose 1 to 2 "N" with Multiples, then you will get two outcomes. You'll get no consecutive numbers, 1-1-1-1-1-1 like 7-10-15-24-31-50. You'll also get combinations with two consecutive numbers, like 7-14-15-24-31-50, 2-1-1-1-1 (one match in the 14-15), and with "Y" multiple consecutive numbers, like 7-14-15-24-42-43 (two matches in the 14-15 and 42-43).
Combining these combinations are like about 90%-95% of the draws in the 6/53 game so while a broad filter like this is great for passing 90%-95% when filtering a standard wheel, they are too imprecise for drilling down to a specific combination.
To continue with our example, select 2 to 2 with "N" for Multiples.
When you're finished with the Standard Filters, you can click your left mouse button or press "Y" (Yes) to return to your filtering menu.
The beauty of Free Wheeling's set of Standard Filters is how the user may choose from a broad brush approach to an narrow focus. The tighter the focus, the fewer combinations left to play.
Previewing Your Wheel: At any time after setting some filters, you can return to the filtering menu and preview your wheel. At your filtering menu, just click your left mouse button on any open part of the screen. Or, you can press Enter. You'll see a menu for Additional Reduction Techniques. Just bypass this menu by again clicking your mouse or pressing Enter. This will take you to a screen to Preview your wheel.
You use the Preview to make sure the filters are working or already eliminated all combinations. Just because Preview may show zero combinations at first, doesn't mean there won't be some later in the build. Let it run a bit before shutting it down and returning to your filtering menu.
To stop the Preview, just press your Enter key. Follow the instructions on the screen to stop the wheel, and you'll return to your filtering menu.
Note: When reopening a filter, the settings will automatically default to blank for fresh input..
Back to your filtering menu, the Free Wheeling main screen.
Now we'll look at some more filters.
B -- Even/Odd Sums: This is a 50/50 filter that can sweep about 50% of all combinations off the table. Obviously the correct answer will shift back and forth or come in clusters like playing Red or Black on a Roulette table. Free Wheeling does not require all filters be used.
Roots of Sums: This filter reduces the combination's Sum down to a single digit. It does it by adding together the Sum's digits. For example, the combination 07-09-21-22-44-47 has a Sum of 150. When we add together the 1+5+0, we get a Root of 6.
All combinations can have their Sum's digits added together to make 9 possible Roots.
Our example draw 07-09-21-22-44-47 has a sum of 150 so the sum of the root is 6.
07-09-21-22-44-47 = 07+09+21+22+44+47=150 1+5+0=6
The Roots filter allows us to select a specific root sum such as 6 or a range of root sums such as 5 to 7.
Roots of Sums allows us the opportunity to select a range of Roots the next draw may come from. Within the main Lottery Director Professional program there is a screen showing how many draws have come from groups of Roots 1-3, 4-6, 7-9. In that program, at your game's main screen select "W". On that program's Wins menu select 1. Sums and Roots.
Decades: A 6/53 game has 6 decades, with the numbers 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-53. While most draws will be missing one or two decades, there really aren't valid reasons to select one decade over another to appear in the next draw.
The filters control the mini-max amount of numbers coming from each decade. 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 numbers from each decade is a reasonable setting. The specific setting for our example combination 07-09-21-22-44-47 would be 2 to 2 for 1-9, 20-29, 40-49.
Decades also lets us set how many decades in a combination. A look at stats tells us to allow 3 to 4.
Note: A very specific filter setting for one filter can allow a more broad setting of another filter we're less certain of.
Spread of Pairs: This is the numeric difference between each pair of numbers, side by side in your combination. The numbers 1-5 have a difference of 4. Use this filter to control the smallest and largest difference you want to have between any neighboring numbers.
For example, our working draw 07-09-21-22-44-47 has spreads between numbers like this: 2-12-1-22-3, so for this draw to pass our choice would be 1 to 22.
The unlikely draw 01-02-03-04-05-53 would have a Spread of Pairs of 1 to 48.
Spread of Line is the difference between the lowest drawn number and the highest drawn in winning combinations.
01-XX-XX-XX-XX-53 is as rare as 22-XX-XX-XX-XX-27.
For example, our working draw 07-09-21-22-44-47 has a Spread of 40*. (47-07=40) Setting the filter for a Spread of 40 would therefore allow a combination's lowest and highest numbers to be 01-41, 02-42, 03-43, 04-44, 05-45, 06-46, 07-47*, 08-48, 09-49, 10-50, 11-51, 12-52, or 13-53.
Positional Limits allows the user to predetermine the range of numbers the software may select from, for each position in the winning combination.
For example, our working draw 07-09-21-22-44-47 would pass filters set to 01-15, 05-19, 12-24, 18-30, 24-50, 36-53. Once again it is up to the user to use or skip filters.
Zone Sets A: Here is where you can group numbers together, and make sure they go together in each combination. It's like Positional Limits with more control.
You have 6 Zones, and each Zone can accept up to 10 numbers.
You put the numbers you want into each Zone. Then you choose how many of them you want to go into each combination. The numbers do not have to be in numeric order. They can come from Hot, Warm, Average, Cool, Cold and Repeat numbers.
Make sure that the Minimum amounts you choose, from all the Zones, is enough to fill your combination. For example, we're making a Pick-6 wheel, so make sure a minimum of at least six numbers will go into the wheel.
Zone Sets B: This is similar to Zone Sets A, but it has 3 Zones and can take up to 20 numbers in each Zone.
It is handy for a large wheel, where the three sets can handle up to 60 numbers.
This is where we would apply the strategy of using three groups consisting of a Hot Group, Average Group and Cold Group of numbers. They can be set to 1 to 3 Hot, 1 to 3 Average and 1 to 2 Cold, or exactly how you feel the next winning combination will be constructed from the Hot, Average and Cold numbers.
Game Histories: Here you can filter against a game history. You have two groups of these filters, for a total of 12 game filters. Naturally the draw history needs to be up to date to use this filter.
You can use these Game Histories filters for different ranges of draws in one game, or you can even use them for different games.
For some examples, most draws have 0 to 2 Repeat numbers from the previous several draws. You can set a filter to reject combinations with 3 or more Repeat numbers from the last four or five draws. Then you can set another filter to reject 4 or more Repeats from the last 30 draws, another to reject up to 5 Repeats from the last 200 draws, and so on.
You could even filter out combinations which have won in another game. If a combination of 6 numbers just won last week in a neighboring game and you feel it's not likely to repeat now in yours, you can filter it out of your wheel.
In these Game Histories filters, you select the game (or games) you want to use, how many draws to go back, and how many numbers to reject in each of your wheel's combinations.
Note: To use the Game Histories filters, you need to have installed the LD Game Histories file. See the instructions at the beginning of this chapter.
Just click on the game you want, Game 1 through Game 6. Then you'll see the list of games installed.
Personal Picks: This is actually a banker, key, king, monarch number maker. The user selects from 1 to 4 numbers per line and chooses how many of these, 0 to 4 must appear on each line in the wheel.
Personal Picks can also exclude up to 4 numbers from the resulting combinations, such as numbers not expected to repeat into the next draw, or dead numbers expected to remain dead in the next draw.
View Filters: allows the user to review their filter choices.
Load Filters: allows the user to load a saved filter set.
Save Filters: allows the user to save a filter set.
Reset All: wipes all filters taking the user back to step one.
Enter key, or click mouse on any open area: opens the final filtering options menu, called Additional Reduction Techniques.
Additional Reduction Options
Free Wheeling took the Florida 6/53 lotto from 22.9 million lines down to 54 lines, using less than half the filters, and got the winning combination among them. Imagine what you could do with Pick-5.
The Lotto-Logix strategy is to use LD Free Wheeling to drill down to the absolute minimum number of lines using precise filter settings. We believe there are more valid reasons for filter settings based on number populations than there are valid reasons to select one number over another.
The best way to learn this technique is to start with a known winning combination and set the filters to end with the known winning combination among the final lines.
Seriously, try this with any other lottery software. Delete the last draw and see if the software can come back with the winning combination by any and all methods available.
Even when lottery software is successful in selecting all the winning numbers within a reduced field of say 12 to 24 numbers what are the odds a 4if6 wheel that lacks an internal jackpot shot (3+3) is going to put them together in one combination?
With a little practice to get comfortable with LD Free Wheeling the user will soon determine what filters may best be set and those that need tweaking to a wider or tighter setting allowing more or less combinations to pass on to the next filter.
How To Win Using Advanced Lotto Tool
If you haven't already read How To Win Using Lotwin Lottery Line Builder, please go back and read it. At first inspection, Advanced Lotto Tool would appear to have a lot of features in common with Lotwin Lottery Line Builder. The difference is, Lotwin went on to add additional filters, until it became possible to filter all the numbers down to a line or a handful of lines. When we try to drill down to the same Florida 6/53 draw for July 25, 2008 - 07-09-21-22-44-47 using only the same Lotwin filters available on Advanced Lotto Tool we get 1,738 lines. Understand, in the greater scheme of things, reducing 23 million combinations down to 1,738 and still having the jackpot winning combination in there, is pretty amazing. See line 277 in the image below.To deal with this, Advanced Lotto Tool offers reduction to a lower prize tier. To get close to our desired handful of lines, we'll try a reduction to 3if6 using all 53 numbers leaving our filter selection in place. To do this we can either click [Reduce] in which case we'll be asked what prize we want to reduce the 1,738 lines to, or we can change the prize tier on the left under the numbers grid and [Build] the lines fresh. Well, we ended with 28 lines, none of which have all the winning numbers, so we reduced away our jackpot. On the positive side, we do have a 5# win! (line 9)
Another option is to make random lines using the same numbers and filters. In this example I'm going with 100 random lines using all numbers and same filters. Not bad, a 5# prize and multiple 4# and 3# prizes.
Considerations Advanced Lotto Tool does have one additional filter we didn't use not found on Lotwin, First Digit. This is a considerably harder filter to predict accurately which may account for it's lack on Lotwin, but would reduce the total number of lines. Advanced Lotto Tool also offers some Logical Functions filters, only due to a lack of any help files with this software are only going to be used by players who already understand them. What does make Advanced Lotto Tool well worth it's price is its ability to make pair, positional, group and triple wheels. In the next image I've selected From the Filter drop down tool bar "Number Groups" which opens a box showing the numbers selected for play. I'm going to make 3 groups, one for two decades each. I can make these in blocks 01-19, 20-39, 40-53 (or if applying a different strategy I could jump around) any of the numbers I select for my first group will occupy [2] positions in the resulting combinations. See the silver or bluish box on the upper left corner to the left of the red "X"? That's the box that advances us to the next group we're going to select numbers for. The [OK] on the bottom is only to be clicked on when we've finished the last group. We can move back and forth through the groups, but if we make mistakes once we've clicked [OK] all the filters must be [Removed] and redone.
Now that we've created three groups for our numbers, click [Build] and in seconds we have passed all 23 million lines through our filter reducing them down to 40 lines. And what do we find among our 40 lines? Wow a Jackpot and 4 - 5# prizes, cool huh? Of course we're boot strapping, we knew in advance to make 3 groups. We'd have gotten the same result if we'd used the First Digit filter which is really a "decades" filter and gone with the relatively rare 2-2-2-0-0-0 choice. Remember my telling you every draw will have at least one long shot, this was it at 5.7% odds of occurrence.
The point is, the Advanced Lotto Tool proved it was able to put a jackpot in 40 lines if you the user can make around a dozen correct decisions. While it's hard to find a valid reason to select one number over another, it is somewhat easier to select filters. The software does all the work if you know what you're doing. If you're not impressed, try this. Take any lottery system or software you happen to own, delete the last draw and try to make the software predict the jackpot winning combination by every means possible the software offers. Cheat, trick it, yell at it, can it give you the winning combination or not? Can your software put all 6 winning numbers for 6/49 among any 24 numbers it selects by any method any more often then the 1 in 104 tries probability says is expected? If not you do not have a chance to win in 103 draws out of 104. Ouch! Remember EOL (Entertainment On Line's) Power Player Lottery Tracker and Wheeler with Cumastat which is now abandonware? Thousands of people bought it over the years including me. Cumastat would show various methods, numeric temperature, numeric aging, normal followers, weighted followers, delta sigma analysis, double entendre analysis, hit sequencing analysis, numeric occurrence, skip and hit analysis, etc. contributing up to 90% to the previous win. I'd delete the last draw and test run only those high contribution methods and never found 4 or 5 numbers right among the high picks. Drove me crazy the software couldn't do what it was claiming its methodology had just done the draw before. Lottery software can be useful in many ways. For research, storage of draw history, wheeling, checking for winners. However, when lottery software is used to predict "cough" forecast "cough" suggest winning numbers, we need to know whether it does so better, the same as or worse then probability tells us we'd do by pulling numbered slips out of a coffee can. This is why it is so important to back test lottery systems and software to know what they can do before putting money on it. Advanced Lotto Tool is arguably the best buy for the money out there at this time considering what it can do and what it costs (cheap) to buy. It is well worth learning to use.
How To Win Your Lottery Using Lotwin
Lotwin Lottery Line Builder is an extremely interesting software because it builds wheels on the fly around user selectable adjustable filters. While most filtering software remove filter offending combinations and the wheel's guarantee along with them. Lotwin builds the wheel incorporating the filters so we have a 100% conditional prize guarantee when the filter choices prove correct. Not only can Lotwin make filtered wheels, it can treat the entire game as one big wheel in all its millions of combinations, and pass the entire game number universe through any set of filters you select. If this results in too many combinations to play, they can be reduced to a lower tier prize guarantee. Lotwin can also scan a user selected range of past draws and report what group(s) of numbers in every quantity of numbers produced the most prizes (jackpot, 5#, 4#, 3#) and how often they recently did so. Seriously, you can look back say 100 draws and find the 18 numbers that produced the most jackpots and see that they did so 9 draws back and 6 draws back and 3 draws back. While the past isn't always an indicator of what will follow, what else have we got? What else we've got, is really pretty incredible. Up front I've got to be honest with you. This isn't a sales pitch for Lotwin. The software is so expensive you lease it rather then buy it, though there is also a purchase price for those who can afford it. Wheels built around filters tend to require more combinations then straight up abbreviated wheels, though each of the combinations pack more prize winning punch when the filter selection proves correct. No, I'm not here to talk about the value of features Lotwin advertises. We're going to talk about the one they don't. Like most lottery software, Lotwin has a history file of your game's past draws. They only handle Pick-5/6, no Pick-3/4 games, just so you know. Each draw can be high-lighted and among the add, edit, delete options is one you don't find anywhere else called [Analyse (British spelling)]. This function performs an instant autopsy on the drawing selected and sends to the main screen . . . are you ready for this . . . the filter settings that would have produced this very same winning combination! Ok, the filters that produced the winning combination are now on the main screen. One click on [Build Lines] and as if you had set the filters, Lotwin passes all the game's combinations through this filter set and out pops the winning combination that has been analyzed. This is absolute proof the game can be filtered down to one line, you and Lotwin can do it. Yes, it is 100% possible to play one computer generated line and win. Let's look at some typical filters Take Odd/Even or Low/High for Pick-6/49 there are seven possible settings of which we must pick one. 0/6 = 134,596 combinations 1/5 = 1,062,600 combinations 2/4 = 3,187,800 combinations 3/3 = 4,655,200 combinations 4/2 = 3,491,400 combinations 5/1 = 1,275,120 combinations 6/0 = 177,100 combinations As you can see, our choice makes a big difference in the number of combinations we allow to pass on to the next filter in line. Lotwin helps us make our decision by telling us which was drawn last and which is past due to be drawn along with other skip and hit data for each group.Clearly 3/3 is one third of the combinations, will be drawn a third of the time, likely in clusters. It is the center point, the return to equilibrium we can expect more often then not followed by 2/4 and 4/2. Say the last draw was 5/1 these occur roughly 10% of the time, so another 5/1 draw isn't likely real soon. Will the next draw compensate with 1/5? More likely 2/4 or a 3/3 return to equilibrium. Not that selecting the biggest filter setting for each filter is going to work, that will just result in too many lines with no jackpot among them. Every draw has a wild card factor, at least one filter setting that is a 5% to 10% likelihood long shot that must be selected. What if there were 10 filters, and each had a 10% filter choice. We would know to expect zero, one or two of these long shot winning filters in every draw. On the other hand, what if there were 10 filters and each had roughly a 1% chance. We would know we're safe from these coming up in roughly 90% of all draws. The trick to this method, is to select the one filter choice from each and have them all prove correct. What other method can turn relatively simple choices into a jackpot? After all, the game is random. It is very difficult to come up with any valid reason to select one number over another. Whereas filter groups are the gross probability factors we knew exactly how often they were expected to take place before the first ball was drawn in all games. We know playing all the numbers at the start makes a lot of sense. When we make 8 lines of 6 with an eye to all the balances, we're actually using filters in the hope one of the lines will turn out right. Think about this. Using the Money Matters method to "win" 4# and 5# prizes, we can easily afford to acquire Lotwin and play this, "If You Can Pick 21 Filters system." The savings alone recovers the cost and for once a jackpot actually becomes possible. Walk Through the Process with me. Here we have a screen shot with the history file open. The Florida 6/53 draw 06/25/08 07-09-21-22-44-47 is high-lighted. The [Analyse] option has been selected and is ready for [Load Filters] to send the analysis to the main screen.
In this screen shot the winning filters have been sent to the main screen. 4 Odd/2 Even, 4 Low/2 High, and so on. There are 21 filters in all, don't worry we can trim these down some. I call your attention to the upper left side of the screen shot. See where it says . . . 0 Lines: (1) <0.001% 21 Filters: Untitled - 1 jackpot (1) 0.068% The software knows what we are doing, telling us one line will be revealed when [Build Lines] is clicked. Also that 1 unique jackpot combination of these numbers has been found in the draw history file.
In the third screen shot, [Build Lines] has been clicked. Lotwin is in the process of running all 23 million lines of the Florida 6/53 lottery against the 21 filters, this takes place in seconds even on my trusty old 2002 Compaq Evo P-2.4
Here in the forth screen shot [View Lines] has been clicked and the one line that can pass all 21 filters is, the line that just won exactly: 07-09-21-22-44-47
In the final screen shot, I've used the high-light and the [Remove] option to remove the final 5 of the 21 filters taking them down to 16. I've run the [Build Lines] again and clicked [View Lines] to reveal there are now 2 lines to be played, one of which matches the jackpot. Not a bad price to pay for dropping 5 filters. Just so you know, if I drop the next 4 filters, taking us down to 12 filters we get 3 lines to play. When I drop the 12th Filter we go to 40 lines to play. Not impossible considering a 4if6 wheel for 18 numbers takes 42 lines to play. When we drop Lucky Numbers the 11th Filter, we jump to 197 lines and when we drop the 10th filter Prime Numbers we have 408 lines, but the jackpot is still in there! I know because the numbers in the upper left keep me informed of the results with every move I make. Of course this is all hindsight, boot strapping so to speak. We have no way of knowing which filter will take out the jackpot line for future draws. The point is, we can pretty much skip using the final 9 filters and do no harm. Not that I always use the strategy of skipping the final filter choices. I'm often torn between two choices on some of the more important filters and as a result have too many numbers when I hit the last filters and end up using them to bring down the total number of lines. That's part of the beauty of Lotwin, you can jump back to any filter and make a change and see it instantly reflected in the ticket count, so you always know exactly what you've accomplished. You don't have to build the lines each time to know the results of your changes. Note of Information: See the 11th Filter, "Lucky Numbers." Those aren't your magic lucky numbers in a file somewhere. No, they are the 14 numbers universally regarded as "lucky numbers" you decide how many may appear on the winning line same as "Prime Numbers".
The next screen shot shows the Lotwin - Winning Numbers Statistics page. This chart is showing number drawn frequency from the number drawn most often "41" drawn 21 times, to out of sight least drawn "39" drawn only 6 times. Note: In this case we're working with the last 104 draws drawn prior to Florida 6/53 06/25/2008 07-09-21-22-44-47. Recall in "Why We Lose" we talked about every drawn combination being made up of Hot, Average and Cold numbers most of the time? It doesn't matter where in the screen shot below we draw our line between Hot and Average. Whether between 15 and 14 or 14 and 13 or 13 and 12, we have only one Hot number in our field the 47. Just below the Hot numbers the "22" and "44" appear as Average numbers with 12 hits. If the screen shot could scroll, a little further down we'd see the third Average number "7" with 11 hits. If we were to draw our line between Average and Cold at 10 and 9 hits, we'd find "21 and "9" in third and second from last place among the Cold numbers with 7 and 6 hits. Cold does NOT mean Dead. Cold numbers are drawn, just not as often as Hot, but they do get drawn roughly a third as often. If we don't play them, we make it impossible to win in most draws, same if we don't play the Average numbers. This is why we begin by working with all the numbers ! Clearly any system that leads us to playing all Hot or all Cold or Hot and Cold numbers leaving out the Average numbers also leaves out 3 of the 6 winning numbers in this case and so many more like it.
In the following screen shot we see what should be our first filter. The Number Sets filter displays all 53 numbers in a frequency graph. When a number's color bar is clicked on, a black bar is shown in its center to tell us it has been selected for play. Once this is done and [Ok'd], [Build Lines] will only work with selected numbers. That said, let me show you how to make it work for Hot, Average, Cold strategy. In the screen shot I've selected all the Hot numbers from 41 to 20 from the Winning Number Statistics chart I printed out. At the top it says, "This set (20 numbers) covers 74 jackpots (71.2%) in 104 past draws." While this is fact, don't be lead astray into wrong headed thinking playing these 20 numbers is going to win you any prizes in the next draw. Because as we already know, of these 20 numbers only the "47" was drawn !!! Sounds great works terrible. What we really need to do is make sure our Hot, Average and Cold numbers take their rightful place in our combination. We accomplish this by choosing to, "Include no more than 3" of our numbers come from the 20 Hot we've selected, "and at least 1." Then we click on [Next Set] and add all our Average numbers, Include 3 at least 1, click [Next Set] and add all our Cold numbers, Include 2 at least 1, followed by [Ok] to port them over to the main filter screen. We could also have gone with, "Include no more than 2 and at least 2." as a tighter filter, all depends on what you think the next draw will consist of so far as Hot, Average and Cold numbers. When finished, we have three sets of numbers. Our Hot set has 20 numbers, our Average set 22 numbers and our Cold set has 11 for a total of all 53 numbers in the game. After we [Build Lines] we've filtered out roughly half the combinations from 23 million to 11.6 million and we still have all the numbers in play. What a great first filter!
I want to be perfectly clear about what you can expect using this strategy. When your choice of filters is wrong, (as they will be most of the time) you won't win anything. This will be offset by the savings of playing only one line or a couple of lines. You see, here's the thing. You may play this way hundreds of times before you get it right, but when you do, you've won a jackpot! When you don't win, the Analyse feature will tell you what filter settings would have won the jackpot. You can also [Remove] some filters and watch the effect on the amount of combinations. When you wheel 18 numbers, you're lucky to have all six winning numbers on the wheel one time in seven hundred tries and what do you win? Why it's a 3-number or 4-number prize! To understand better, you have to try and get past the magical mystical factor most systems toss at you to make their sale. Yes, with random anything can happen. You very well might pick all the winning numbers among a reduced field. Put them on a 3if or 4if wheel and hope to get lucky by the wheel winning above its guarantee. Unfortunately, the odds of a standard 3if or 4if wheel winning a jackpot is far less then one percent. Not only do all the winning numbers have to be in there. They have to combine within the wheel to form a jackpot winning combination. This is NOT what a standard 3if or 4if wheel is designed to do, especially if you're play a split wheel. There are only three ways to seriously target a jackpot. Precise number selection and a small full wheel or key wheel. Well chosen numbers with a jackpot shot (alone or within a wheel). Filtering away everything but the winning combination. Take it from me. It has proven a lot more interesting and economical to make filter choices and play a handful of lines, then trying to predict which numbers are going to win and playing hundreds of lines at a time. Win or lose, every draw is like winning a 4-number prize as I put what I would have spent back into my pocket and I still have a very real chance of winning a jackpot. The best advice I can give you is learn what good software can do, it might surprise you.
Selecting Numbers and Wheeling
Dispite the unbelieviable claims of system sellers, no one knows how to accuractly predict the next 5 or 6 winning lottery numbers. Millions will try using every method imaginable, those who win just as likely bought a Quick Pick / Lucky Dip or played the family birthdays. What if things were a little different next visit to the lottery store? What if we found we could play 8 numbers against the 6 drawn? Would our chances be improved? You betcha they would!!! While the odds of winning 6/49 are 1 in 13,983,816. The odds of winning with 8 numbers are 1 in 499,422. That's actually a considerable improvement in having all the numbers correct. Can you play 8 numbers instead of 6? Yes you can. Already some retailers offer this option, for $28 you can purchase all 28 ways 8 numbers can be combined in lines of 6. Watch this math trick. I'm going to turn 28 tickets back into 13.9 million. Nothing up my sleeve . . . Presto !!! 28 x 499,422 = 13,983,816 each ticket faces off against 499,422 combinations instead of 13,983,816 more akin to playing Pick-5 then Pick-6. Even so, 1 in 499,422 is tough to beat as every Pick-5 player knows by now. Clearly the solution is to play more numbers to bring the odds further down. Playing, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 numbers in 6/49 brings the odds down to . . . 6 of 9 = 1 in 166,474 and takes 84 combinations. 6 of 12 = 1 in 15,134 and takes 924 combinations 6 of 15 = 1 in 2,793 and takes 5,005 combinations 6 of 18 = 1 in 753 and takes 18,564 combinations 6 of 21 = 1 in 257 and takes 54,264 combinations 9 of 24 = 1 in 104 and takes 134,596 combinations Not that anyone can afford to play all the combinations possible in 12, 15, 18, 21 or 24 numbers, so we must give up the portion of our theory we'll be guaranteed a jackpot if all the winning numbers fall among those we are playing. Even so, by playing one of these amounts of numbers we continue to retain the same odds of all the winning numbers falling among those numbers we are playing so the potential for a jackpot remains possible plus we can still guarantee lower tier prizes! We can use a standard abbreviated wheel that does guarantee a lower tier prize at a reasonable cost to play or we can implement a wheel with a Jackpot Shot to target the jackpot. In Why We Lose, we learned winning combinations are made up of, Hot, Average and Cold numbers. This tells us we must make sure our combinations likewise consist of, Hot, Average and Cold numbers. Creating combinations of, Hot, Average and Cold numbers helps narrow down how we pick our numbers. Having counted how often each number has been drawn over a range of game history, we can hand sort by frequency or use lottery software to sort the numbers from those drawn most to those drawn least often. As we draw a line between the least drawn Hot number and most drawn Average number and between the least drawn Average number and most drawn Cold number, we're creating pots, hats or pools to select our numbers from. By selecting numbers in their expected hot, average and cold proportions to make up like combinations, we're effectively improving our chances by eliminating combinations of all hot, all average, all cold, etc. that are less likely to be drawn or not likely to be drawn at all. How to Eliminate some numbers Even though we'd like to put all the numbers into play, the cost can be prohibitive. The addition of a few numbers to a game sends the odds soaring and eliminating a few numbers has the reverse effect. The Florida game odds were raised from 6/49's 1 in 13.9 million to 6/53's 1 in 22.9 million. Four additional numbers almost doubled the odds!!! On the other hand the successful elimination of four or more numbers has an exactly opposite effect lowering the odds an equal amount. The standard method of eliminating numbers to bring a 6/53 game back to a 6/49 or to bring a 6/49 to 6/48 for wheeling or even to 6/43 to eliminate 8 million combinations, is to not play some or all of the numbers drawn in the prior draw. 45% of the time none of the numbers from the prior draw are drawn again in the next. The 55% side is not a clear other choice. Only 40% of the time will one number from the previous draw repeat. 11% of the time two numbers will repeat and 2% of the time three numbers will repeat. Nor do we have any idea which ones they will be so we are almost required to play all the numbers from the previous draw if we're going with the oposite strategy. In other words, if on Sat. 12/07/02 01-03-07-32-34-49 is drawn don't play any of those numbers in the next draw. On Wed 12/11/02 08-10-15-24-48-53 was drawn containing none of the numbers from the previous drawing. This trick works about 45% of the time more or less depending on game size and more often if we only eliminate one or two of the previous drawn numbers for an easy divide by six. The reason lotteries use games like 6/49 rather than 6/48 is to make it harder (requiring more combinations) to cover the numbers evenly. You can play all 48 numbers on 8 combinations it becomes confusing trying to cover all 49 when 5 have to be specially picked to use with the 49th. How to Eliminate More Numbers Sometimes we want to remove more than six numbers from play at a time. The following method does this again about 45% of the time. It can NOT be used in conjunction with the above method of eliminating the previous six numbers, in fact it requires we play them. Print out the last 20 draws or more, what ever's easiest. Draw a line after the most recent 3 draws, the next most recent 3 draws, then most recent 4 draws, and the next two most recent 3 draws. This gives us two groups of 3 draws, followed by a group of 4 draws and finally two more groups of 3 draws. Like this . . .

If the number appears in group A or C make a check next to it. When done we should have 42 check marks. Count them. If the number appears in group B or E and is not already checked, put an "X" next to it. (ignore those with checks) Play the numbers with and without check marks, don't play the numbers with "X" next to them. Let's see how this works out . . . 01 ** 16 X 31 * 46 02 X 17 ** 32 * 47 X 03 18 33 48 * 04 * 19 * 34 * 49 05 *** 20 ** 35 50 X 06 21 ** 36 * 51 * 07 * 22 * 37 *** 52 X 08 23 *** 38 * 53 09 * 24 X 39 ** 10 X 25 * 40 * 11 ** 26 X 41 X 12 ** 27 * 42 X 13 28 * 43 14 29 ** 44 * 15 X 30 45 As you can see we have 42 numbers with checks [*] and 11 numbers with an "X" so we've eliminated 11 numbers from play. And the winning draw on 923 11/30/02 Sat was 05-07-12-13-43-49 all from the checked and blank numbers a success!!! In tests this worked about 45% of the time. When it works as in this case we eliminated 11 numbers from play taking the game from a 6/53 at 1 in 22.9 million odds to a 6/42 at 1 in 5.2 million a 17.7 million combination reduction in odds!!! If this had been a 6/49 at 1 in 13.9 million combinations game the successful elimination of 11 numbers would make it a 6/38 game for the draw at 1 in 2.8 million before the first ball is drawn! Last 15 Draws Method Fans of Gail Howard can review this method using the B Chart. Reset the default from 10 to 15 past draws. See how often 4, 5 all 6, winning numbers may be found among the last 15 draws? Of course sometimes all the winning numbers are among the last 15 draws, but sometimes 6 to 10 numbers are missing reducing the field. Another breakdown is between numbers in the last 15 draws that have hit only once and those that have hit more then once. We do find draws with 4, 5 or all 6 winning numbers comming only from the numbers with 2 or more hits. How to Eliminate More Numbers Instead of trying to pick and choose numbers for play from the entire field, try working with a range of numbers. Such as . . . 01-36 07-42 14-49+ Examine the draw history of your game. How often do 4, 5 or all 6 winning numbers fall within one of the above ranges? How to Sort Numbers First of all I cannot emphasize enough the number selection process pull numbers from the Hot, Average and Cold pools. The number of numbers from each pool should be in proportion to the number of numbers in each pool. If there are 15 Hot, 25 Average and 9 Cold numbers in the respective pools and a 12 number wheel is to be used we'd want to select 4 Hot, 4 Average and 4 Cold. These proportions are not absolute make adjustments as necessary provided some numbers come from each pool. In the following example we will make a triple wheel from 4 Hot, 4 Average and 4 Cold numbers. 01-02-03-04-05-06-07-08-09-10-11-12 Place Holder Numbers H1-H2-H3-H4-A1-A2-A3-A4-C1-C2-C3-C4 reposition to form 4 blocks H1-A2-C3|H2-A3-C4|H3-A4-C1|H4-A1-C2 to play against each other 01-02-03-04-05-06 = H1-A2-C3-H2-A3-C4 01-02-03-07-08-09 = H1-A2-C3-H3-A4-C1 01-02-03-10-11-12 = H1-A2-C3-H4-A1-C2 04-05-06-07-08-09 = H2-A3-C4-H3-A4-C1 04-05-06-10-11-12 = H2-A3-C4-H4-A1-C2 07-08-09-10-11-12 = H3-A4-C1-H4-A1-C2 Any 2 blocks of 3-numbers correct = Jackpot! Lottery Software Sorry to say I have yet to find a lottery software that can be relied upon to regularly select winning numbers among a reduced field for wheeling. This is why I prefer to work with all the numbers or almost all the numbers after eliminating those least likely. For those of you who own the GH software . . . if you own it you know what software I'm talking about . . . here is a little experiment you can try to see how smart the software really is. The GH software provides number selection for the next draw by marking the suggested numbers with a * asterisk and marks winning numbers with a + sign. The 3,4,5,6,7,C,D charts can scroll back and forth through time by using the + and - keys. Suggested numbers will show a * and winning numbers a + so a suggested number that won will look like +42* while a suggested number that didn't win looks like 42* and a number not suggested that won anyway looks like +42. The Up/Down arrows and PageUp/PageDown keys scroll through the numbers. The Left/Right arrows move the light bar. Now go to the "3. Quick Stats (tm)" chart and with a reasonable range of past history (say several hundred past draws), move the light bar to either "Total Hits" or "Hits Ratio". This sorts the numbers by their frequency in order of most hits to least. Scroll down to the Cold numbers and use the - key to travel back through time. In my experience you should see one to four numbers with the + sign indicating Cold number hits in almost every draw without the corresponding * sign to indicate they were suggested by the software. This is proof positive we need to include Cold numbers with our picks and shows why it is virtually impossible to have all the winning numbers among our picks using a software's strategy. So if you are an owner of the GH software, use it to make your frequency chart instantly, but use ALT-S (capital S) to toggle suggested picks on/off to OFF. Sorry to say, there is no legitimate method known to man for selecting individual numbers. All such methods fall victim to the expected hyper geometric distribution. In other words . . . Select one third of the numbers to wheel by any means, expect to have 2 of the winning numbers one third of the time. The other times expect 1 or 3, or none or 4 correct less often. Select one half of the numbers to wheel by any means, expect to have 3 of the winning numbers one third of the time. The other times expect 2 or 4, or 1 or 5 correct less often. Jackpot potential is always elusive in the vast majority of draws when playing a reduced field. What's a Lottery Player to do? On average we can expect 2 of the winning numbers to found in the last 3 draws. Because this is an average, not only do 2 of the winning numbers appear, 0, 3 and 4 of the winning numbers also appear less often. On very rare occasion we may find all 5 or 6 of the winning numbers, not often enough to bet that way. With duplication from draw to draw we can find 14 to 18 numbers in the last 3 draws to start off loading a larger wheel. If you own the Gail Howard software, run and print the Smart Picks "W. Smart Picks (tm) Chart for all the numbers. If the program won't give you all the numbers (holds back some) use "F9" to clear the hold. Print out one page of past winning draws. Delete the range of draws printed and play the software against known draws. Run the 3,4,5,6,7,C,D charts, print the W. chart. After each draw, circle the winning numbers on the "W. Smart Pick (tm) chart. What you should start to see is locations where the winning numbers come from. For example, one or two winning numbers from the first six positions. Maybe none from the last two positions, but 1 or 2 from the six positions prior to the last two. Soon you'll be able to circle blocks of positions where winning numbers appear most often. These positions can be combined on a wheel and played with better results then playing the same number of picks off the top of the chart.Pretty much any lottery software that uses a consistent method of sorting all the numbers from better to worse beyond simple frequency can be used for this method. Were using the Gail Howard's Smart Luck Advantage Plus (tm) software because we've owned various versions for over twenty years, still use it for research on a daily basis. There are those who might say it's a standard for the industry. There are so many helpful lottery software's out there. Versa Bet, Lotto Pro, Lotto Expert, Lottery Director, Lottery Cracker, Lotwin, Lotto Hat, Advanced Lotto Tool, authors that link back to us, authors who don't. We list every one we can find we think might be helpful in some way that tips the balance in favor of winning in the Directory of Lottery Software. You'll have to be online to visit any of the links. The thing of it is, they won't pick all the winning numbers for you in a affordable wheelable field any more or less often then the GH software will, except in the sense a broken clock will have the correct time twice a day. That's the funny thing about random, any system, software or method can win at any time, any game. The problem is we never know when or where and for sure it isn't often enough. This is why all lottery software requires the user to develop a personal system to find where the software puts the winning numbers in the output. The trick to winning is to have a chance to win in 99 out of 100 draws, not 1 chance in 100 draws as most systems and software are setup to give us. Heck, the lottery could give away lottery software the way casinos give away Black Jack and Roulette systems and not lose sleep over the risk. Reminder: The simple act of making sure your numbers represent, Hot, Average and Cold numbers and are played on a non-split wheel takes you leaps and bounds ahead of lottery players who use a Hot and Average or Hot and Cold number software system on a split wheel. Train Your Brain The best computer for pattern recognition is of course the human brain. This means the best method of selecting winning numbers continues to be hand charting. Besides the frequency chart to tell what's Hot, Average and Cold, the only other chart you'll ever really need is a skips between hits chart. No make no mistake, this chart isn't new and you'll often find it in lottery software, that's not the point. When the skips between hits chart is made by machine we're not afforded the opportunity to train the brain in pattern recognition by hand entering the wins and refelecting on them. Further more when machines make our charts, they tend to clutter them up with excess information. A prime example would be numbers counting the skips between hits. This supposedly helpful information causes the viewer to focus on mathmatical projection which has not been found to predict winning lotto numbers. To have any luck takes time with the chart, looking at each number and trying to decide what it's going to do. Seriously, you may find yourself sitting there saying, "Hello little number 33 what are you going to do next? Let's see what you've been up to so far. Oooh it looks like you're ready to make your move." Now, you're either going to get better at this over time or you're not. If you do, don't run out and buy a lottey software program so it's easier to make the chart, that cheats the subconscious of its data. Click on our tracking chart for skips between hits. Right click on the chart and choose [Print].
If you give the hand charting an honest attempt and you don't get better, stop using it and move on to something else. Try Another Method of Selecting Numbers Every lottery number can be represented by a number from 01 - 09. That's only 9 numbers to track and predict. Then the 01-09 predicted numbers can be expanded back to their original size and wheeled. 01 = 01 - 10 - 19 - 28 - 37 - 46 02 = 02 - 11 - 20 - 29 - 38 - 47 03 = 03 - 12 - 21 - 30 - 39 - 48 04 = 04 - 13 - 22 - 31 - 40 - 49 05 = 05 - 14 - 23 - 32 - 41 - 50 06 = 06 - 15 - 24 - 33 - 42 - 51 07 = 07 - 16 - 25 - 34 - 43 - 52 08 = 08 - 17 - 26 - 35 - 44 - 53 09 = 09 - 18 - 27 - 36 - 45 - 54 Lottery numbers may also be repersented by their last digit. 01 = 01 - 11 - 21 - 31 - 41 - 51 02 = 02 - 12 - 22 - 32 - 42 - 52 03 = 03 - 13 - 23 - 33 - 43 - 53 04 = 04 - 14 - 24 - 34 - 44 - 54 05 = 05 - 15 - 25 - 35 - 45 - 55 06 = 06 - 16 - 26 - 36 - 46 - 56 07 = 07 - 17 - 27 - 37 - 47 - 57 08 = 08 - 18 - 28 - 38 - 48 - 58 09 = 09 - 19 - 29 - 39 - 48 - 59 10 = 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - 50 - 60 This method was always very interesting when Florida had its 5/26 game because 01-06 had three numbers each and 07-10 had only two numbers each, as such we could make up 24 blocks of combined 3's and 2's playing the sets against each other. Using the Gail Howard "X. Number Group Test Drive (tm)" over the course of 2240 Florida Fantasy 5/26 draws these 24 lines of 5 numbers produced: 3 5-number jackpots, 156 4-number prizes and roughly 1,600 3-number prizes, not to mention about 10,000 2-number prizes worth a free Quick Pick. For larger games, check the stats page to see how often draws with multiple same last digits are drawn vs. all different. Another Way to Select Numbers Remember the saying, "Missed by that much." How often have you had two numbers correct and found other numbers to be one up or one down from the winning numbers? The idea is to take the numbers you would have played and also play those on either side of your chosen numbers on a wheel together. A similar method is to use the numbers from the previous draw that often give us 1 or 2 of the winning numbers roughly 50% of the time in conjunction with the numbers they neighbor. Florida 04/23/2008 - 04-10-19-34-38-45 04/26/2008 - 03-11-29-36-38-48 04/30/2008 - 06-11-29-30-41-48 06/07/2008 - 01-24-25-26-42-48 06/11/2008 - 24-41-42-46-48-52 The method works better in smaller games. In the Florida 6/53 it is rare for this method to provide more then three winning numbers every couple of months. A quick review of last years draws should tell the story. The choices you make determine whether you win or lose. Wheeling Your Numbers While thousands of wheels abound among lottery systems and software only a few provide a real world oppertunity to win a jackpot at an affordable price to play. These are wheels where correctly chosen pairs or triples come together to form a winning combination. They are different from the automatic wheeling most software offers including this ebook, because they must be hand loaded as winning numbers are not expected to pair up in numaric order for automatic loading.

There is no need to have an even amount of sets. To make a Jackpot Shot for 39 numbers we can use the above 30 number wheel and add 3 more sets of 3. Remember: These are place holder pointer numbers. Exchange the pointer numbers for your numbers. You can use CoverMaster to make the exchange in the resulting combinations. Do Not play the pointer numbers.
