Lottery Number Patterns - Don’t Soil Your Pants

In spite of all the examples and evidence offered over the last several posts, there are still a few stragglers who are still reluctant to embrace the obvious.  HOT numbers are really HOT. And, because of their Persistence, any Serious Lottery Player should be consistently including them in their Play List.

The claim that all numbers appear an equal number of times only applies in the long run; after millions and millions of drawings.  But, as far as the lottery is concerned, our lifetime represents only a drop of water in the ocean.  So, what happens in the short term?  Lottery Number Patterns and trends are there to Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lottery.

Now, if these Lottery Number Patterns only provided a small advantage, let’s say 1-2% better than what one could expect by randomly selecting numbers, then there would be little to shout about. But, that is not the case.  We are talking about serious advantages. Advantages that could cause even a professional gambler to soil his pants. We are talking 20% to 40% advantages. Here is what I mean.

If you randomly selected 10 numbers in a 6/54 lottery, over time you would expect to find that 18.5% of the winning numbers came from your list.

10/54 x 100% = 18.5%

Since 6 numbers are drawn, this represents 1.11 winning numbers on the average.

18.5% x 6 = 1.11

So, this becomes our reference point. If you have a lottery strategy for picking 10 numbers, and your lottery strategy provides more than 1.11 winning lottery numbers on the average, then your lottery strategy is performing better than what random number selection predicts is possible. If your strategy does less than this, then sell it to your enemies.

Let’s look at four lotteries to see if including HOT numbers in your Play List is worth your time. We’ll find the reference point for each lottery just as we did above. The HOT number’s performance was calculated from actual data.

Now, I don’t want any of you to soil your pants, but you have to admit, these are some very impressive numbers.

Lottery Number Analysis - Persistence Pays Off

As I have pointed out in the last series of posts, it is the Persistence of Lottery Number Patterns that validates the use of Lottery Software and Lottery Number Analysis to Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lottery. If lottery numbers didn’t express Persistence, then using Lottery Number Analysis to Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lottery would be a waste of time. So, lets bolster your confidence in Lottery Number Analysis by identifying the presence of HOT number Persistence in several lotteries. For the purposes of this discussion, a lottery number is considered Persistent when it remains in the list of the 10 HOTTEST numbers over a period of 100 drawings.

Our NY659 lottery history file starts on 2/28/07 and ends on 12/13/08.  Analysis of the last 100 drawings shows that 5 of the 10 HOTTEST Numbers were Persistent over that period.  21-31-40-50-57

Our TX654 lottery history file starts on 4/26/06 and ends on 12/13/08.  Analysis of the last 100 drawings shows that 6 of the 10 HOTTEST Numbers were Persistent over that period.  7-8-17-19-31-38

Our DE635 lottery history file starts on 1/1/07 and ends on 12/10/08.  Analysis of the last 100 drawings shows that 7 of the 10 HOTTEST Numbers were Persistent over that period.   12-17-18-23-28-32-33

Our PA649 lottery history file starts on 1/3/06 and ends on 12/05/08.  Analysis of the last 100 drawings shows that 8 of the 10 HOTTEST Numbers were Persistent over that period.  7-12-16-31-36-42-43-48

These are just four more examples where Lottery Number Analysis and Persistence Pays Off.

Lottery Number Patterns - HOTTEST Lottery Number of the Year

Over the last couple of weeks, the discussion has revolved around Lottery Number Patterns and in particular the concept of HOT numbers. Critics and skeptics would claim that playing a HOT number strategy is nonsense because you can’t predict what numbers will be drawn in the next drawing. But, the same critics would see no problem with weather forecasting or stock market analysis. However, they would probably harbor critical opinions about handicapping horse races. This is the critics Achilles heal. The litmus test they apply to legitimize computer forecasting is inconsistent.

There is nothing inconsistent about HOT lottery numbers. In fact, HOT numbers exhibit what I call Persistence. A HOT number became so because, over time, it HIT more often than the other lottery numbers. It will only remain a HOT number if it continues to HIT more often; if it’s Persistent. This should be easy to test.

Let’s use the Illinois IL652 lottery in this example. We are going to look at the performance of the top 14 HOT numbers. Why 14? Because there were 14 numbers that HIT more than twice as often as the Coldest number in the Illinois lottery. That represents a serious bias in favor of HOT numbers. Each one of these numbers would be a finalist for the crown of HOTTEST lottery number of the year.

To check for Persistence, we are going to use the Lottery Number Advisor to look at the top 14 lottery numbers as of 11/17/08, 50 drawings ago and 100 drawings ago. If HOT numbers are Persistent, the same numbers will continue to appear in the top 14 list over time.  Here’s the result.

Over a period of 100 drawings, 7 numbers remained in the top 14 HOTTEST numbers list; 1, 8, 16, 21, 39, 43 and 50. They weren’t flukes; they were Persistent. What does this mean to the Serious Lottery Player? If the player had included these numbers in his play list every drawing, then he would have averaged more winning numbers in his play list than he would have if he simply randomly selected numbers.

With so many Lottery Number Patterns to choose from, it will be a tough call. But, who do you choose as your HOTTEST lottery number of the year?
