Lottery DATA Lab

AI gave us a "method" to choose numbers based on 40 years of data, it called it COMBINATORIAL FIELD REDUCTION via NESTED STRUCTURAL FILTERING, we call it CFR.  The object is to REDUCE the choices while giving us a good chance of winning. Today lets examine the PICK 3 GAME. 

PICK 3 are the bread and butter of all lotteries, the oldest, most played and certainly a cash cow for the states (and Provinces).  Rarely is the payout greater than the amount of tickets sold.  So what does all the DATA tells us about playing the PICK 3 game? 

You can make some decent moolah if you track the DOUBLE DIGITS, like 11x or 66x, etc. 

There are 270 double digits in the 1000 number matrix of the Pick 3 game, which gives us 27% of all numbers. DATA shows every Pick 3 game over the long haul has a 25 to 30%, you can check your own game and see it for yourself. 

The CFR method reduces this to 20%, which means you should see one in five draws have a double digit. The tipping point is 12. So, if your Pick 3 game hasn't drawn a double digit in 12 draws, it enters a HOT WINDOW and you should have them on your cards. 

Over decades, all the double digits, 00 to 99 have also been drawn equally, with the hot and cold numbers being within a small %, which matches up with the math of random number theory. 

But in shorter time periods, and AI calls these truncated historical tracking vectors, we can see hot and cold combos, and this is where the money is.  AT 20%, a Pick 3 game will take 250 draws to get 50 double digit, however in almost all the lotteries, this is achieved between 180 and 200 draws, closer to the 27%. 

By being conservative that extra 7% is useful to predict numbers coming up. 

So as not to get to boring here, in OHIO; June had 14 double digits, May had 16, April had 16.  Or 46 in only 182 draws. SEE?  So the current OH Pick 3 is way ahead of the 20%. 

OK, so you reduce the field to 270, or 10 double digit combos, how to pick the ones to play?  On your tracking charts, and you can make one yourself, just go back 3 months and write down the double digits in your game, and if you have less than 50, then you see some HOT numbers AND cold ones. The CFR (data) says to play the HOT ONES. 

This is an overview, as the blog goes along, we'll dive deeper into how the data gives you an advantage. Also, feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer them. 

P.S. In OH we are in a 3 Digit CLUSTER of double digits. The last two in June were 669, 388. And 1 july had 669 in evening. Historically, when you get a cluster, it could be a "when it rains, it pours" type situration.
