Lottery DATA Lab

First, due to my own lack of awareness, I missed my goal of daily posts in July, due to getting a time out and a warning also. In Aug., my goal is a twice a week post goal.  Maybe I can hit that one. 

I am posting DATA from July draws in OH, although the group tracks almost all state lotteries (we don't bother with WY, ND, MT, NM, SD and a couple of others), you can use these OH data points to compare your own state's draws, fair enough? 

In July, OH Pick 3 had a WHOPPING 38% of DOUBLE DIGITS far above the national avg. of 27%, and way beyond my 20%.  The CFR (COMBINATORIAL FREQUENCY REDUCTION) did predict July would exceed the norms. So congrats if you played those in wheels.  I, personally, lost in July, the group did better, around break even...but as a reminder, I am Kenny Rogers sitting at the table, and don't count my money until the dealing is done.

Which means we reconcile our books in JAN. after a year of betting and so far have a decade long streak of being in the black. My hope is, in testing the CFR, I  don't end that streak, YIKES. So, in Aug. I will cut back to the 20%, one in five, of double digits in the pick 3 OH game.

There were 4 SEQUENCES; 897, 576, 534, 435.  And seven ADDS: 963, 426, 523, 761, 437, 448, 178.  This was almost twice the monthly avg. for the last year. The most drawn was 12 in first digit slot, the least was 5 in third slot with only 3 draws. 

Rolling Cash 5 had 16% (below avg.) of draws with NO SINGLE DIGITS, so in Aug. I will have more wheels without a single digit (1-9) in them.  It had 4 with 3 single digits, 2 with three teens, one with three 20's, 4 with 3 30's and most would play COLD or three 20's, but CFR says play the ones with four, time will tell. 

In the Pick 4 game, three with trips; 2666, 3383, 0555 and three with pairs; 5775, 3443, 8338.  Most hit was 0 in the fourth slot with 14, least hit was 6 in first slot with just ONE. Double digits with four, 55xx, and 11xx had ZERO in July, so in Aug, I'll be hitting the 11 and 55 heavy to start. There was one sequence; 1290.  37 of 62 had doubles in the picks. 

So that is the summary for JULY, for OH, you can compare those tracking ideas with your own state. See you in Aug. OH, wait, see you later in the week.
