I have been looking at the lottery numbers in certain ways,now it has occured to me that if I have a computer programme to do it for me,it would be a lot quicker.
It wouldn't help you to win it badboy :wink:
It would still be fun to analyse the numbers in certain ways though.
I may have noticed something,I think.
MS Excel is probably the best place to start. There are more powerful analytical tools out there, but they are very specialised and expensive. Can you be a bit more specific about how you want to analyse the numbers? Maybe I can help with formulae etc.
I have done a number of `numbers apart between the draws' going back 13 draws
4-6-9-12-15-40
4-22-30-41-43-47
I `chart' the `difference' between each individual number eg different between 47 and some of the latest numbers from the previous draw is 43,41,38,.
Where is a big gap,usualy it `fills' in to a certain extant in next draw.
Interestingly if I had written down 26 numbers for the next draw,all 6 numbers would have been in those 26 numbers.
Must rush. DINNERTIME!
From what I understand of your theory, Excel would be easily be able to handle the calculations, and it would also be easy to set up as well. After dinner, come back and expand a bit more. I'll have a think about the spreadsheet arrangement.
I keep noticing things about the lottery numbers, I my have noticed something odd.
I am not sure, but something I think I may have noticed may be significant.
They does appear to be something significant.
I'd hate to admit how much number crunching me and a couple other guys have done to analyze the powerball lottery - if it was not for fun..... well then you can figure that out. (did you know they also use different sets of balls)
I can say that I've played the same set of numbers for every drawing since powerball started at $1.00 per drawing.

Ive noticed something odd too. Whatever numbers I pick dont come out! It works every week!
If ya don't play, ya can't lose.
I have recently noticed something(It may be possible to work out some of the numbers that will come up, theoretically it may be possible with a computer to do this)

Might be possible, provided you've got
One of These.
I wrote a program on my commodore 64 years ago to play with the past winning numbers. I wrote several methods of analyzing the numbers. Hot numbers, clusters, even playslip mappings. I must have got something there because I was hitting three numbers a lot. Did I hit 4, 5, or 6 numbers? Nope!
I may have worked out another way of picking right numbers.
I have recently noticed something else as well that is odd.
I WROTE DOWN TWENTY NUMBERS OF WHICH ALL 6 NUMBERS WERE IN THE 20 NUMBERS?
EUREKA?
