Lottery Predictions - Michigan Classic Lotto Is on Fire

Lottery Predictions for the Michigan Classic Lotto

Lottery Number AdvisorFor the last two months I’ve been making lottery predictions using the Lottery Number Advisor to show everyone what type of play list performance is possible for many lotteries in the US and Canada. I’ve shown you what the performance of a bad, an average and the best play lists look like. Hopefully, this has served to show you how important picking lottery numbers for your play list is.  When you are going after those lottery jackpots your play list rules.

I wasn’t necessarily recommending these play lists per se, but I was using them to demonstrate what is possible. But, just the same, I thought it would be nice to go back and take a look at some of the best play lists and see how they have been doing.

The best play lists that I presented in my post Lottery Number Advisor - Michigan Classic Lotto 47 on June 15, did very well. I hope all of our Michigan friends were paying close attention because in the last 16 drawings the top play list was on fire. It would have definitely improved your chances of winning the lottery. Below is the list I provided back in June.

MI647 - Play Lists with Most Jackpot Hits Over the Last 360 Drawings

An average 30 number play list would produce all six winning numbers about once every 18 drawings. Nothing to write home about. The best play lists I provide were producing all six about once every 6.8 drawings. Quite an improvement. But, in the last 16 drawings the top play list produced all six winning numbers three times! That’s once every 5.33 drawings! Unbelievable performance! It did better than it has ever done before.

Making lottery predictions for your play list is where you need to focus your attention. It is the primary way to improved your chances of winning the lottery. Hope all of our Michigan friends were using these lists.

Lottery Statistics - That’s the Rest of the Story

Lottery Statistics

In the last post, Picking Lottery Numbers - When Your HOT; Your HOT , you discovered that the Hottest numbers occurred more than twice as often as the Coldest number. For many people this is inexplicable and hard to swallow. It shakes the foundation of their belief that the lottery is a Random game of chance.  But, they created their own quandary because of their limited knowledge of mathematics.  They really only have part of the story.  So, let’s pull a Paul Harvey and give them the rest of the story.

Our skeptics belief that all numbers should occur essentially the same number of times is correct.  But, here’s the caveat. This is true for any lottery in the long run; after millions and millions of drawings. So, it’s going to take millions and millions of drawings before our skeptics will be able to prove that they were right. Perhaps a skeptic’s time would be better spent being skeptical about living that long.

There are two points that I want to make here that are very exciting:

First, mathematics predicts the wide fluctuations that occur early on in a random process. The fact that some numbers have occurred twice as often (or even more) at the beginning of a lottery is not unusual.  In fact, it is expected!

Second, and the most exciting, in the random game we call the lottery, the short term is YOUR LIFETIME!!! Here’s what I mean.  If you play a lottery with 2 drawings per week, in 50 years you would have played a little over 5,000 drawings.  Great! Fantastic! Why?  Because, 5,000 lottery drawings is nothing compared to the millions of drawings necessary before all number will have occurred essentially the same number of times.

Lottery Statistics show that the Lottery Number Patterns we see are not only real, they are expected. We can use Lottery Software to identify them and use them to our advantage or not. So, for all the sayers, nayers and players; that’s the rest of the story.
