Lottery Results - historical database ?

SoCal · Aug 27, 2010

I have often wondered if "my" numbers have ever hit on a night I didn't play. It's only natural to want to know. I play the lottery maybe once a month or 10 tens a year.. somwhere in that range. But each time I do, I can't help but wonder if my numbers hit while I wasn't playing or paying attn. Know what I mean Vern ?

Another function of a historical database would be to see which set of numbers have hit more than once. For example... if you knew that, historically, a particular set of numbers, let's say, 7, 11, 17, 23, 41 mega 14 had hit 5 times over the last ten years (which I am sure is an astronomical longshot for ANY combo), wouldn't it make sense to play THAT set of numbers daily? Ya feelin' me?

A most useful dbase would encompass individual games... like a search specifically for the "lotto" or "powerball"... but it would also include a feature to search ALL like numbered games across all states to see if a certain number combo has hit in multiple games.

In this day of information, why doesn't this exist damn it!

Given that lotteries are completely random, a historical database has no value whatsoever. The odds of a particular number being drawn are the same for every drawing, regardless of how short or long ago that number came up.

That has absolutely ZERO relevanace to future drawings.

SoCal · Aug 28, 2010

I'm not saying that one number has a better chance than hitting vs another. I am saying that if you looked at a sample size of ten years worth of drawings and a specific combination of numbers hit 4 or 5 different times... well, isn't that noteable? remarkable? Yes, the true odds of that set of numbers coming up again are the same (if not significantly less) than any other combo... but it's a trend.

More than anything else, it would be interesting to know what trends exist and at the bare minimum, if "my" numbers have ever come up when I was looking the other way. I think it would be a facinating database , much more so than any other dbase of random numbers, because millions of dollars were at stake. would love to be able to quickly check if "my" numbers ever hit, and if they ever did, for how much they would have paid out. just a curiousity

There used to be a website some years back that would let you input numbers for all the different number's games for different lotteries(e.g pick 3,pick 4,lotto
etc,etc),and it would give you the date that particular number combination was drawn if it ever was.
If I can find it I will post the link.

I think I smell a future Lotto tout coming ?

I am too busy to gather that kind of info. It's not a bad idea for someone with the time though. I bet the advertising dollars would be massive.

this thread should help with the numbers

i went through my handicapping the lottery phase.....didn't work....one thing you can do is avoid playing the numbers from the last draw.....eliminating those numbers should lower the odds to somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 in 165,000,000....good luck

no reason the same numbers can't repeat, odds are the same.

to maximize payouts ( avoid splits) you can use numbers over 31....people play birthday numbers a lot so you are less likely to split with high numbers, still way -EV.

true....and why worry about splitting pots? i've heard people claim they won't play the #13 because everyone else plays it, but that makes no sense to me....i'd be more than happy to chop a 30 million dollar pot....beats the hell out of missing out because i didn't play 13 because everyone else plays it....

i do have a few angles that i play that involves eliminating certain numbers based on historical data, but these days i only play when the pot gets over a hundred mill.....

Worrying about splitting the pot is theory, but still solid mathematically. It is ALL luck anyway. Fuck the 100 million Powerball anyway. 5 Million is plenty. If 5 million is all you'd ever need then play the state game instead of Powerball...you're like 7X more likely to hit it since they use less numbers.

In theory a ping pong ball painted with "1" weighs less than a ball with "44" but that effect would so minimal as to be ridiculous.

It would be interesting to see frequency data of light balls ( single digit) hitting over heavy balls ( double digits). I'd expect a miniscule favoritism to "light" balls over the millions of numbers that have been drawn in history.

I certainly don't imply that you cap lotto. I haven't played in years.

I think that logically ( to avoid splits) high numbers ( over 31) are likely the best bet to minimize the -EV, esp. when only playing the 100M pots.

For sure a sucker game, even if the pot was 500M , I don't think you have +EV, 5B maybe !
