There are some strategies and algorithms you can apply, but don`t assume you will win the jackpot! Some guy managed to win the lottery 7 times, read his story here.

The magic square

A trick among lotto players is to choose the numbers according to the magic square. This particular square comes from mathematics and shows a square arrangement of numbers. These numbers add up to the same result in every row, column and diagonal.

This strategy is quite complex, but still an absolute classic. There are several videos circulating on the Internet explaining the "magic square" phenomenon, for example on Youtube.

Explained very briefly: a square is replaced from the lottery number grid with another square that includes 4x4 numbers between 1 and 16. The numbers of the square add up to 34.

If you insert this square into the lotto field, some numbers from the original 49 are no longer present and others are duplicated. If you add the numbers that have disappeared to the numbers from the magic square that they replace, you get certain numbers: 25, 26, 27, 38. And lo and behold, these numbers are always among the most frequently drawn lottery numbers. Got it?

Lotto - the law of clubs

Another strategy is the lotto prediction by the law of crosses. The six numbers of a lottery ticket often line up in the shape of a cross or lie isolated on a common cross.

Various videos on the Internet try to prove this by comparing five or six consecutive lottery tickets to make clear which of the drawn numbers together form a cross. If one trusts the strategy, these numbers are then those which are drawn in the next lottery.

The divided field

But it is also easier, after the magic square has demanded a lot from you and also the law of crosses brings comparisons of different lots.

All you have to do is divide the ticket into individual fields. Simply draw a line through the middle row of numbers horizontally and vertically. This results in four fields from which you can choose your six numbers.

The rule now: choose two crossed out numbers and one from each field.

Choose the right numbers

1. If you have beaten luck thanks to one of the tricks or otherwise and you are one of the winners of the last lotto draw, it may be that you do not have the winning sum for yourself.
2. That is why it is important to avoid popular number combinations. These include the numbers 1 to 6 or the first six prime numbers as well as square numbers 1,4,9,16,25,36.
3. If you ever want to choose the birthdays of your sister, mom or aunt as lottery numbers, don't do it. Choose numbers above 30, because there are even more people who have the idea to mark birthdays on their lottery tickets.

Let me start with the assumption that lottery numbers are random, which I think is required by law.

If that is true, then there is no way in hell to successfully pick lottery numbers.

To illustrate that more plainly, take any table of random numbers and with the help of a friend try to pick correctly any number in that table.

Here’s what will confuse you: You will get an occasional “hit” just by chance. If you continue long enough you will eventually get hits of 3 in a row, 4 in a row, 5 in a row, n in a row. There is no limit to the number of consecutive hits that you can get if you play long enough. If you had enough time (say to the end of universe) you would eventually get a hundred, a thousand, a million hits in a row.

That said, there is no system, no algorithm, no method, that can successfully pick a series of 5 random numbers consistently. Anyone like, say, Joan Ginther, Gail Howard, or Richard Lustig, who claims to know a way to beat an honest unbiased lottery is wrong.

To show why this is so, let’s use a simple example: Say you are about to flip an unbiased coin. Is there any way to predict better than 50–50 whether it will come up heads or tails? Will knowing its outcome history from myriad previous flips give any advantage at predicting whether it will come up heads or tails on the next flip? Is the coin aware of previous outcomes so it can be consistent with previous outcomes? What if unknown to you this coin toss was going to be part of the million heads in a row sequence? How could you know this?

But say that prior to the million successive heads sequence you had a strategy for predicting the outcome and your strategy predicted the million heads in a row. It would be extremely hard to deny the validity of your strategy. You’d probably cite this experience and package your strategy at the very reasonable price of $25 a pop.

The same is true of lottery strategies: If the numbers are truly random there is no way they can be predicted that will give you any advantage over picking them chance.

Here’s a test for Joan Ginther (are you out there, Joan?). If your system really works let’s see you do it again, maybe this time donate those millions to the poor. Crunch those statistics and use your system to end poverty once and for all.

It is interesting to observe the false beliefs that spring up around winning the lottery.

Yes. Absolutely! I developed an algorithm and won! But here's the rub — what do I mean by “won”? Most people assume it means “Won the Jackpot". Nope, it just means I won $100 (after all the money invested in tickets). So, yes, definitely I won.

But, then I kept playing and lost my winnings and spent more on tickets than I won, proving that old saying “Lotteries are taxes on fools.” If you win, pocket your cash and leave!

I just happened to pick numbers that randomly “won" on the lower tries of prizes. After all, you have to play to win. (More aptly put: you have to play to lose.)

The lotteries I have looked at are random. The entities running them take pains to make them so. They also carefully organize the play rules such that the probabilities greatly favor them making money and players losing money. Yes, people win money In lotteries, but nothing like the money the people running the lotteries take in from those people.

True randomness means unpredictability — you cannot say something will not happen nor that something will happen given the situation. Thus, you might use an algorithm and win big! Or just pick numbers and win!

But, probabilities indicate you will likely just get the pleasure of paying the “Lottery Tax” — losing your money for the thrill of playing.

As they say, “Hundreds of people have won the lottery!” (And billions of people have played and lost.) Or better yet — for each winner there was a million (or more) losers.

The lotteries I have seen and played are extremely random, extremely weighted to that 1 in 300 million (or whatever) chance of winning the jackpot — or 299,999,999 in 300 million chance of losing.

Experimenting with a lottery is easy and free: pick the numbers you want (however you think) (don't play tickets, just record them) and see if you would have won. You will get the thrill of thinking “Gee, what if I by chance pick the jackpot? Should I play?” And then the let down of, “Wouldn't have won a flipping thing. What a load of horse pucky.” Mind you, track the money you would have spent since small prizes can pop up. But how much did they cost you? You can play as many times as you want without spending a dollar, Euro, Yen, Peso, Rupee, whatever.

I've done that with sets of 100 and 1000 numbers (analyzing past numbers picked in the lottery, for example) just to see what real “big money’ play would be like. I would have (for example) spent $200 to win $75 or $2,000 to win $600 and so on.

There are “secret" formulas flying around which are (a) right sounding ideas based on happenstance and limited data sources and poor understanding of statistics by the reader or (b) equate to “buying the lottery" — buying enough tickets to guarantee or almost guarantee a win. This is discussed elsewhere but various lotteries have rules to prevent that or discourage it and so on. If someone is selling a “sure win" formula, do not buy it — offer them 10% of your winning. If they are honest then they would prefer that since they would get back far more money than a small one time purchase.

The lotteries I am familiar with serve two purposes: to make money for the people running them and make some money for various “charities". They are not necessarily evil; people have fun playing; and they are a good for those who like to gamble and want to support charities doing so; but they are forms of gambling and like any professional gambling establishment the people who run them know the probabilities (which they design), cater the rules (which they design) to suit their aims and ensure randomness to make a profit. Casinos do not pick games that allow player skill to significantly sway results and take efforts to prevent those who find some esoteric means to consistently break the odds from playing. Ditto lotteries. Casinos love it when people win and run around exclaiming “I won!” because it encourages others to play thinking they will win and they have their system worked out to make a profit. They make money through the long term aggregate of many people playing and losing and far, far fewer winning big. Ditto lotteries.

There is and this algorithm has amazing accuracy. A version of this algorithm is in fact available for pretty much every known lottery around the world.

It’s a simple algorithm that randomly picks a digit each for the number of digits necessary to generate a winning combination. In fact in every lottery and every drawing it is used, the combination it picks is declared to be the winner.

The best way to take advantage of this algorithm is to start your own lottery, sell tickets and use this algorithm to pick winners in drawings. It will be fair, 100% accurate and will make you a ton of money over time.

If by chance, what you meant was an algorithm that can consistently make you win against the exceptionally low odds of a fair random number generation algorithm discussed above, there is one, but it doesn’t involve picking numbers. It simply involves turning around and immediately walking out of the store without buying a ticket, every time you feel the urge to play the lottery.

There is, by definition, an algorithm that picks all (and only) the winning lottery numbers for all future lotteries, until the end of the human race.

The problem is that the code for this algorithm is approximately just as long as its potential output. Well-run lotteries take great pains to ensure they are random (and generally succeed.) So, the sequence of numbers is not compressible to a short algorithm.

The difficulty is not in proving that a long algorithm exists. The desired output is just some finite sequence of numbers, and is thus computable by a sufficiently large program. But among the untold trillions upon trillions of possible long algorithms that output future lottery numbers, we can’t identify which one is the correct algorithm. We can write it only in retrospect.

No algorithm can successfully pick lottery numbers as the numbers are picked randomly and each carries the same probability of getting picked. This is precisely the reason why the lottery is called the game of chance.

However, those who are pro in it or are seasoned players like the seven-time lottery grand prize winner Richard Lustig have come up with their own algorithms. They don’t pick the exact numbers; otherwise, these people would be winning every single time, but they definitely help in enhancing the winning odds.

These people make use of maths and logic in an online lottery and come up with different strategies, which brighten their winning odds. They access a lot of data of the past draws, analyze it and come up with probable number combinations based on statistics and probability. Then, they play those numbers for a specific time period and claim that it works. Visit Lottoland for more information

As far as I am concerned it is -

The first thing is that no one can predict winning lottery numbers using maths only can give an idea but not sure.

The second thing is that neither is there any software that can tell which number will come in the lottery.

The number of the lottery can be told only by the one who will open the lottery, he is playing the lottery. Only luck works in this and nothing else. In the end, I would just say that playing lottery is wrong.

I spent some time reading the answers and it is a bit amusing.

Picking lotto numbers is no different than predicting the wing tip turbulence of a jet landing. It’s a science and people have put a great deal of time into it. I’ll give you a link for a quick read on the subject.

Chaos theory - Wikipedia

The key word is chaos.

All of us have, at one time or another, stood or sat and stared at a flag flapping in the wind. My favourite is the Maple Leaf. It actually transformed itself from the Union Jack. And did you know there’s a right side up on the Union Jack? The Maple Leaf has a right side up too but the Marine Corps Colour Guard during game 2 of the Atlanta/Toronto World Series couldn’t figure that out. Go figure. Speaking of figure…….

You're sitting and staring at a flag flapping in the wind. Many would agree that there is no way to know how this thing is going to flap. But that isn’t so. For brief instances in time, your eye picks up a pattern and your brain instantly predicts the next couple of flaps. Have you noticed that? Then suddenly… it all goes to pots. But after a while, it happens again.

What you’re experiencing is dynamic chaos. You have been following a set of conditions for a micro-step in time and noted repetition…. then predicted the next repetition. And bingo….. you predicted. “Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focusing on the behaviour of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.”

The trick in lottery numbers is to figure out the time frame you need to go back in time to set up some sort of visual moving picture. It would also help to show numbers that are coming up more often than others for that frame of time. Then you kick in one of the most efficient computers of all time to spot supposed random activity…. your brain via your eyes. Just like the time when you spotted that brief predictability on your favourite flag flapping thing.

On a visual aid… a simple version is to set up a chart with the date of past draws on the left and the numbers along the top. Then “x” the intercept. You may need 10 to 20 past draws to see a “pattern”. This helps you to identify “probabilities”. So, on a 6 number lotto game… you may see three or four “probabilities”. Along with that, numbers that seem to be hot, coming up more often than others for that frame. You may come up with, say, 8 numbers you want to use. Buy a series of tickets with various combinations. What you’ve done is use Chaos theory to improve your “probabilities” for the next draw by identifying the most probable number that will show up. Note that we’re using a system that is very repetitious and constant. Same time period almost to the minute, the same machine picking the numbers, same people involved, same everything…. just like that flag pole and flag. There are random elements for sure… like the wind. But even that is constant. It’s always wind, not a person one second waving the flag or an ice storm the next.

Test the theory with a coin toss. Let's use 10 or 20 tosses…. now toss that coin and record the result. More often than not, you will not get an even number of heads or tails. Toss it one thousand times and you will. Chaos for that brief time frame ensured you would not get an even number.

Now….. to improve your prediction to 50%…. always call heads (or tails) unless you have a reason to change. That reason is repetition. If you get two tails in a row…. call tails. If you get two heads in a row…. definitely call heads. If unpredictable… just call heads. Don’t bet against it. Biggest mistake.

After 10 or 20 tosses, you would have won more often than not and more often than the poor sap who doesn’t understand chaos. My stepson was a none believer and I won 9 out of 10 tosses. This was an exception but my odds did improve.

When I was in the Canadian Armed Forces a group of us including the commander pitched in to buy the series of tickets. Often, we’d win fresh tickets for a later draw so our cost was much lower. Sometimes a small cash prize. The commander’s wife poo-pooed it. He reminded her that they never won anything before my system. I was later transferred to another post and lost interest in the game.

On the question of probabilities… you may be interested in this link. How To Win The Lottery According To Math - The online Binomial Coefficient calculator may be found in this link Binomial Coefficient Calculator. From this, we see that the best probability is to pick an even number of odd and even numbers. If you have a ticket requiring 6 numbers…. make your select a combination of 3 even and 3 odd numbers. This pattern has a probability of being picked of 33%.

Technically it's *possible*, but you would only be able to pull this off realistically in fiction.

The only way this could be done would be with insider knowledge of tiny imperfections on each ball which would give them an extremely marginal higher probability of passing through a machine. Infinitesimally so.

Even still, the algorithm would then have to compute hundreds of thousands, and probably millions of combinations of outcomes with the imperfect ball(s) and you would have to purchase a ticket with each combination, which still wouldn't guarantee a win.

So even if possible in theory, it would still take a very large gamble for a tiny payoff, in terms of expected value (think fractions of a cent for each ticket purchased).

Just so you know, I didn't make this up on the fly. I have read an account in a book (Fortune's Formula, by William Gladstone IIRC) about how old roulette wheels in Monte Carlo would warp over time and would eventually become off-level by a degree or two, making the ball land in a certain area ever slightly more likely.

However, since it required a spectator to watch the wheel and take notes of each number over hundreds or thousands of trials, casino owners eventually took notice and starting monitoring their equipment very closely.

With modern tight gaming regulations, I suspect that lottery balls would no longer be susceptible to any flaws whatsoever, but even if they were, I'm sure they get replaced often enough that even if they were detected, no one would be able to take action quick enough to game the system. Much the same how decks of cards are only used for a matter of hours in casinos before having holes punched through them and being sold in the gift shop.

Sorry if I disappointed you ;)

Can You Guarantee Winnings With a Lottery Prediction Algorithm in Excel?

There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to the lottery, regardless of the method you have chosen. The purpose of a lottery prediction algorithm is to, aside from giving you a sense of control over your choices, pick possible results.

Therefore, you might win the lottery even more than once using one of the Excel lottery algorithms, but you can never expect guarantees or anything near that. It remains a game of chance, and nobody will ever crack something that is made to be fully randomized.

Find out more about Excel algorithm.

It's been now over five years since I'm working on a lottery prediction system which is capable of actually narrowing the possible outcome.

Most people believe (and keep saying) that predicting the lottery is an impossible task. My research shows the opposite. It shows that the possible outcome of any lottery can be reduced, quite a lot actually. It is true that any number has an equal chance of coming out in the next draw. And most people stop right there...

The only way I could reduce the possible outcome -- while still capturing the winning numbers -- was by looking at the lottery results as a whole. It is the set of numbers that can help you predict the lottery. While anything related to single numbers is simply chaotic and there is no way to anticipate what will that particular number do in the next draw, the results as a whole are a different story.

Let me provide some examples based on real data and explain how previous statistical factors can actually help predict the lottery.

If we take a look at the US Powerball. Based on the latest 100 Powerball results we can conclude that:

The sum of the drawn numbers have never been lower than 52 or higher than 280. It is interesting that the sum of the latest results at the time of this writing kind of stand out of the crowd. The 280 is actually quite an anomaly for this lottery. The next highest sum being 259.

Another statistical factor we should look at is the sum of the digits that make up the drawn numbers. And we can see that it was, during the same last 100 draws, between 21 and 55.

The range of the numbers is the difference between the highest and lowest drawn numbers. And the values were between 13 and 67.

Now, we'll take a look at some more detailed aspects, such as the lowest and highest difference between any two adjacent numbers. And we can see that their values are between 1 and 12 (lowest difference) and 4 and 52 (highest difference).

So, let's go ahead and compare the above values to **the possible** min/max values for the same statistical factors.

1. SUM of numbers - min/max possible: 15/335. But during the last 100 draws these particular values stayed between 52 and 280
2. SUM of digits - min/max possible: 8/69. However, values stayed between 21/55
3. Range - possible: 4/68. Drawn numbers had a range between 13 and 67
4. Lowest distance - 1/16 vs 1/12
5. Highest distance - 1/65 vs 4/52

You can view a graphical representation of the above in the charts at LottoMatic. In those charts, the two green lines represent the lowest and highest value. Whatever is outside the two green lines (under and above) represents the sum for the results/sets of numbers that have never been drawn.

There are a lot more statistical factors that can/should be taken in consideration, each additional one helping to further narrow the possible outcome.

The LottoMatic prediction system is using several hundreds of such factors combined.

Furthermore, while we can stay within the min/max values, it is also worth considering the values in between that were never met by any drawn results. For instance, although the lowest sum of the numbers was 52, the sum was not once between 53 and 75 (included). Which means that we could also eliminate any combination that has a sum from 53 up to 75, in addition to those that fall outside 52 and 280.

By looking at various lotteries we can see that each one has its own particularity. There are lotteries where some particular number ranges are very common. For instance, the Australia Set for Life results (latest 100) had the following number ranges:

• R29 - 13 drawn results
• R33 - 12 drawn results
• R32 - 11 drawn results
• R27 - 8 drawn results
• R31 - 7 drawn results

Which means that 51% of the latest 100 results had only five different number ranges, whereas they could've been, theoretically at least, anywhere between 7 and 36.

As a conclusion, the lottery can be predicted to some extent, by employing a significant number of filters meant to calculate -- based on previous statistical factors -- which combinations have the relatively highest chance of being drawn.

The more factors are being considered the better.

One thing is sure. There is no universal formula for this. Each lottery has its own particularities which need to be taken into account.

What most people forget is the amount of time required to print a ticket. Suppose we are talking about Powerball. Since what has been suggested is not using a quick-Pick feature but actually selecting each combination by marking up a card for each combination. This eliminates duplicates. Let's work this through.

Assumption: All 292+ MILLION cards have been pre-marked and ready to go.

Most all lottery terminals are only available between the hours of 6 a.m. and midnight non draw days and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. day of draw. Days between drawings are either three (Thur-Fri-Sat) which is 52 hours of ticket buying time or four (Sun-Mon-Tue-Wed) which is 70 hours of ticket buying time.

Let's assume a retail clerk can insert and print a ticket in three seconds (not likely that quickly but let's assume). That mean 20 tickets a minute or 1,200 tickets an hour. Doing this non-stop for 70 hours would yield 84,000 tickets with no duplicate number combinations.

The odds for Powerball are 292,201,338 which is far short of the 84,000 combinations printed. It would require 3,479 lottery terminals running non-stop for 70 hours to cover all possible combinations. Most State lotteries don't have 3,479 terminals.

This does not include normal down time, at a terminal, for shift changes, personnel breaks, changing of ticket rolls...I could go on, but what's the point.

You would need a jackpot of close to two billion dollars in order to just break even and that assumes you are the ONLY winner and do not have to share the pot. Why? Because tickets cost $2.00 each. Therefore your outlay would be $584 million dollars. If you have $584 million to spend why would you need to play a lottery game??????

There is no predicting lotto numbers; that is why they have such appeal. There is no predictive value to numbers already drawn like card counting at blackjack. Powerball as an example has odds of approximately 290,000,000 to one. The numbers are totally picked at random so there is no manner of predicting winning numbers. The only advice on picking numbers is to spread you picks across the entire number spectrum. While it is possible for lotto numbers to be 1,2,3,4,5, and 6, the likelihood of that happening are extremely small. If you picked 1,11, 19, 29, 40 and 53 you would have a much better chance of winning by spreading your selections out across the possible numbers.

You can write your own, as I did recently in Python. Just run it and enter whatever game it is: 5 of 35, 6 of 42, etc. Do not experiment with too large numbers, like 1_000_000_000, otherwise your computer will be stalled.

You can download it from here.

It is not possible to predict winning lottery numbers with mathematics or any other scientific method. Lottery draws are random events, and the numbers that are drawn are completely unpredictable. however, there is very little trusted lottery software that has proven to be 100% reliable and some are trusted by long-time lottery winners around the world.

My recommendation would be: Lottery Defeater - Video Presentation

This lottery software is a plug-and-play Lottery Winning Software that is fully automated. It is a plug-and-play Lottery Winning Software that is fully automated. This program analyses and compares all of this historical data to the most recent winning lotto draws from around the world.

As a result, the algorithm eliminates 90% of the lost or repeated number combinations, leaving only those that have a high chance of getting drawn.

All of this is done in real-time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure that all of the reports are accurate. This would be challenging, especially for a world-renowned genius.

YES, a Romanian mathematician named Stefan Mandel (you can Google his name for several articles), managed to win major jackpots 14-times.

YES, you have read that right: 14 times.

He didn’t do this by ‘predicting’ the right combination or number picking:
he simply waited until there were sufficient roll-overs of the jackpot and then he played ALL the possible combinations.

Of course, he didn’t accomplish this merely by himself:
filling in all possible combinations on lottery slips must have been a very timeconsuming and logistic nightmare involving a team and financial backers.
Most lottery organizers do not accept lottery slips you print out at home, so you either have to fill them in by hand on the designated official lottery slips or use an official lottery vending machine, but nevertheless, he pulled it off.

There is NO,
I repeat NO way of ‘predicting’
which combination will be drawn in the next draw, or the next, or the next, …
If there would be any mathematically valid method of increasing the chance of winning the lottery (except for simply playing more or ALL the combinations), well most lottery winners would be mathematicians-statisticians.

But in fact, most people winning the lottery are working-class or lower-income bracket people, who figured out playing the lottery is their only opportunity of striking it rich by pure chance.

Most people aware of the odds know lotteries are ‘negative-expectancy’ games.
In plain language, it means your odds to win the jackpot are astronomically small and your reward for taking the risk is smaller than the risk itself, winning nothing or only small prices.

Hence, the far majority of players will invest far more in lotteries than their return for the risk they took.

To explain ‘negative expectancy game’ more simply:
if you pick heads or tails and you flip a coin, your odds are 1 in 2.
The probability to make the right bet is 0.5 or 50 % .
Because your risk is 50 %, your reward should be at least 2 to 1.
Meaning you either double-up or lose your bet.

BUT all lotteries, be it state or private, make money,
by simply not rewarding the players enough for the risk they take.
The same goes for typical casino games like roulette, keno, slots but also scratch tickets…
They are all basically the same principle as flipping a coin of which the risk is 50 % for the player. But if the player wins only rewarding him with a lower reward compared to the risk for the player.

As a general example:
Suppose your odds to match a 3 out of 6 lottery combination are 1 in 40,
but in case you have a 3 out of 6 match, your pay-out is only 5 to 1.
This is a clear example of ‘negative expectancy’: the risk you took is much larger than the reward for taking that risk. The actual return depends on the type of lottery you’re playing and the payout structure they use.

First, the lottery organizer (be it state or private) will take a piece of the total amount of bets for themselves. As a general rule of thumb, it’s about 50 % of the total amount of bets they take for their own profit and to cover for the costs like staff, betting terminals, a percentage for the affiliated shops and promotion of the lottery. The rest will be divided amongst the players. In some countries, there’s even an added tax for big winners (which is plain ridiculous, unless you would also be able to deduct the cost of playing the lottery). So, unless the jackpot or reward for partial matches is HIGHER than your risk, the lottery is clearly a ‘negative expectancy’ game.

Most lottery organizers publish the odds and payout structure somewhere in the small print, so check the specific lottery you are playing to know the specific odds and risk vs reward ratio.

Hence the name ‘negative expectancy’:
Each time you take a bet with a serious risk to win nothing or only a smaller reward, compared to the risk you took, in the long run, you will lose money, unless by a very remote small chance you happen to win a major prize to offset all your previous bets and gain money.

But this happens to less than 0.000000… 1 of all players who faithfully play the lottery every draw. So, only a very minute minority of all players can honestly say they’ve played the lottery and made a profit out of it, the far majority will lose.

Example:
Let’s say you play a reasonable amount of $ 5 / draw and there are two draws a week. So your bet is $ 10 / week * 52 weeks in a year.
The total amount of bets in a year is $ 520.

On average, depending on the type of lottery you are playing (match 5, 6, 7 or 8 and the total amount of possible combinations to choose from), you can expect to lose roughly 2/3 of the total amount of all your bets, unless you would be so lucky to win a major price.
So, you will lose roughly $ 347 per year in this example (which is a very realistic scenario).

Play the lottery for 10 years = $ 3470 loss,
Play the lottery for 20 years = $ 6940 loss.
Play the lottery for 30 years = $ 10.410 loss (!)

… the far majority of lottery players will be in this scenario.

Hence, most mathematicians-statisticians will not play the lottery unless for entertainment value, because the stock market, in the long run, offers a far better reward to risk ratio.

Even a sophisticated disciplined poker player who is aware of odds, probability and game theory, has a far better chance of having a return on his investment than playing the lottery.

The entire concept of having a lottery is for it to be impossible to develop a system to predict the numbers. The first issue is the way numbers are selected. The lottery uses generally one of two types of machines. Both are largely made of clear plastic so television viewers can see the randomness of the numbered balls being selected. I will use PowerBall as an example of the odds of picking the correct number. There is a 1 in 292,201,338 chance of winning by the odds. The balls are selected in an entirely random manner. There is one foolproof method of winning Powerball that will work every time, that is to purchase every combination of the numbers. The tickets are $2 each; therefore it would cost a little over 584 million dollars to purchase all combinations of tickets. Even if Powerball gets to be worth 1.5 billion dollars as it has in the past, you would be better off with 584 million in cash in your bank account. The problem would also be the possibility of multiple winners who would then have to share the jackpot. So, no there is no system to pick which random numbered ball will fall through space at any given time. There are people who advertize systems but they can’t work due to the enormity of the task.

Through centuries of clandestine research our secret society has generated a method to predict winning lottery numbers with total certainty. We call it “ the method”.The foundation of the method is the basic principle of physics that nothing is random. Randomness is a word that is used to describe phenomena that we do not yet fully understand. By developing a computer far stronger than anything on the market we were able to predict basically everything.

We only win when we choose to win. Winning all the time and everywhere would expose us. But we do win enough to advance our secret objectives- you know …the usual …. global domination and so forth.

you can travel into the future according to the twin paradox and relativity but supposedly not back in time.

the algorithm is a time machine, and that machine must allow you to travel back in time with the future information.

now then, you would only need about 1 hour (wait time between printing tickets and official drawing) of time travel forward, record the drawing, then

travel back in time before the 1 hour stop printing tickets time, purchase that ticket, dont get greedy and purchase too many of the same number, the game might be invalidated, just buy the winning jackpot ticket once. Then wait 1 hour for the official drawing!

now if you could extract numbers drawn via a time accelerator without actually traveling there, sort of like a tv camera posted in a different timeline and peer into that future….you only have to perturb time by 90 minutes, then you never travel there, the information only travels from the future to the present!

this is without a physical machine but a sort of digital gateway or stargate to extract future information as a stream back into your current real time. dont forget to buy your ticket!

note that for the digital gateway, the folks in that future would need to have a camera recording the drawing, or a camera pointed at a webpage showing the drawing and those folks proving you a portal to the past where you are and gizmo such that you can see the future stream 90 minutes before the drawing. folks from the future with sufficient new physics ought to be able to create a digital stream a rift in spacetime as an anomaly possibly temporal so that you see the future!

Let's imagine some of the possible answers to this question

1. Yes, there is, and I have it. I guess I have never been imaginative enough to use it myself. I have never shown it to anyone else, because no one else has ever asked. But now that you ask, here it is: .....
2. Yes, there is, and I have it. Why in the world do you think I would show it to you?
3. Yes, there is, but I do not have it. I know the guy who does have it, but he will neither sell it nor give it away.
4. Yes, there is, but I do not have it. I know the guy who does have it, and he will sell it to you, for ten times the total amount of all the lotteries that are to be run for the next thousand years.
5. Yes, there is, but I do not have it. I do not know the guy who does have it.
6. Yes, there is, but I do not have it. No one else has it either. I guess it is still waiting to be discovered.
7. Yes, there is, but I do not have it. The Devil has it. You can buy it from him, and the price is for him to possess your soul for all eternity.
8. No, such an algorithm is impossible to create.

This seems to be pretty much the range of possible answers. I cannot imagine that any of them except the first would be really satisfying to you. And if the first was really a possible answer, you can be certain I would not post it. So why did you bother to post this question?
