OZ Lotto Prediction 

Tuesday 23 Jul 2013


As I don't yet have the frequency analyser written for the full OZ Lotto history set, I only have probabilities to work with, and even then the sample set is very small at only 405 samples, so I'm left with up-to 22 of the 45 numbers to choose from ... sample too small, odds too high, but hey!  22 is better then 45 to choose from, so here's my view of the most probable numbers to contain the winning 8


And the verdict was ... a dismal 3 of the 9 using 22 of the 45

Gold Lotto Prediction 

for Sat 20 Jul 2013

What I think will be the most likely 8, 16 or 24 of the 45 numbers 
to contain the majority of the winning 6+2 numbers for tonight's draw

 

Of those, based on the most frequently drawn in the last 12 and overall draws
I reckon the numbers might be amongst these 21






And the verdict was ....
4 of the 8 using only 15 of the 45 numbers


Powerball

first attempt at reduction

So I've said playing lotto is a mugs game and I'll go on record as saying that playing Powerball is even more stupid, but that said, with $30mill up for grabs and having reasonable success with the Sat and Wed lotto selections I thought I'd "give it a go"

As expected  ... it was a dismal failure in terms of wins, though it was satisfying to see that I correctly picked 3 of the drawn numbers using only only 18 of the 40 numbers.
Once again though, to wheel 14 numbers and play them all would still cost a small fortune but at-least you have far fewer numbers to make your "personal choice" from ... especially when you combine it with the "PowerHit" which assures you get the Powerball with whichever 6 of the 18 numbers you choose

The numbers I predicted were

actual numbers were

Playing lotto is a mugs game

 ... but its fun trying to beat the odds if you can afford to throw money away


This blog is just to store my notes on my efforts to reduce the odds in winning one of the Australian Lotto games
This mainly focuses on the Saturday and Wednesday games as OZLotto and Powerball odds are awful!

To-date my biggest single win has been $2,100 (I've been too scared to add up how much I've wasted over the years!!) but the process I've been refining over those many years has seen me win many smaller prizes along the way.

My theory is simply to reduce the selection pool of numbers with which I can still reliably pick enough numbers which if wheeled right, might one-day net me a 1st or 2nd Div win.
(Dreams are free even if playing lotto isn't ! )

To his end I seem to be able to fairly reliably select 3 of each week's 8 drawn numbers and much of the time it's 4 of the 8 with frequent instances of 5 & 6 of the 8
The key point being .... this is using a MAXIMUM of 22 of the 45 numbers and often as few as 14 of the 45.

For example:
This last weekend's Sat draw numbers were

Using only 14 numbers I managed to get 3 of the 8
Using 21 numbers I got 4 of the 8


(No wins there obviously!)


I'm not going to bother putting historical data up, but this weekend was typical, so I might start to post some of my future results up here, in case anyone else is interested.

Caveat to all gamblers 
(aka fellow lotto players)

You still have to wheel these numbers and even at 14 numbers, reduced by past winning sets, bell-curve summing probability and  consecutive groupings, the full-set wheel was still 929 games
... naturally I do NOT have the money to play all those games so the chances of picking the right sets from amongst those 929 are still pretty shabby!!
