Welcome to LottoMining!

Exactly what does this application do?  The main predictive models used by this site are picking pairs of numbers repeating (i.e. numbers already drawn at least once from somewhere in the last 6 draws), multiple pairs of numbers repeating, and three numbers repeating from 1 or 2 …10 draws back.  Also, similar to counting cards in blackjack, is choosing for certain frequency such as 4 draws having the count = 2 in the Dimensional Frequency 7 view.  When the indicators are signaling a draw where all 5 numbers have been picked within the last 6 or 5,... draws is going to hit, early notice will be published here.  For this 5 draw game, the last 6 or 7 draws is where the “trend is your friend.”

LottoMining also auto-publishes a number of data tables that contain well-known methods to enable users to filter the pool to a more manageable set of numbers to pick from (i.e. looking at the distribution of draws in equal buckets of 1-8, …, 33-39; or looking at the distribution of the even draws versus the odd draws, or looking at the difference between Draw 2 and Draw 1, or Draw 5 from Draw 4 as well as the “Range” the difference between the highest and lowest numbers in a draw.  There are more data tables and metrics listed on the site as well as those still to be added.

Immediate Goal: Predict when certain recurring patterns will repeat to theoretically increase the odds of winning.  Auto generate tables to provide users a filtering system to view the data in multiple dimensions.

Technical Goals:  This is an excuse to use a variety of technologies; and a lot of content is already automated.  There are many database tables and queries to be fed into SQL Server 2005's Data Mining capabilities and there are a few tables that will lend themselves well to cubing technology (OLAP/MDX).

Data Mining:  With so many patterns that can be seen visually, just imagine what the algorithms find.

History:  The system began with an Excel spreadsheet sometime in 1999 because the lead developer observed certain patterns that just did not appear to be random.  One spreadsheet turned into another with many tabs and so on.  Also early in the data research process, a database was created for its increased functionalities or grouping and retrieving metrics; though one of my favorite apps in the database is running the combinatorial mathematics that generates all possible pairs, 3's, 4's or all 5 possible combinations from a given subset of numbers. Check out the Pairs in Last 6 table for all the possible pairs in the last 6 draws.  Both the spreadsheet also exposed other interesting stats that I've been able to use to my advantage and win some here or there (Disclosure: I typically place bets of $5 or $7 unless the hunch is stronger).  I used this predictive lotto application as an excuse to learn Excel programming as well as to learn programming a database application and the Web world of the now classic ASP and ASP.NET (versions 1 and 2).  When I build something here, it's daily update is auto-generated.

Daily Dashboard: Currently being developed.  Although there are many five draw lotto metrics and properties laid out on the site, some metrics and recurring trends are more relevant than others on certain draws and other metrics/trends need to be grouped together to show the magnitude.  The DailyDashboard will report on all recurring trends and properties in one place. 

On-going Development:  There is still lots more to be added in the next few months and over the next year.

Conventional Wisdom: this site compiles numerous well known techniques for predicting numbers
