LotteryBore - Welcome to the Money Bonfire

[Atramental]

Since this newfound obsession isn't going away I decided to create this thread as means to dump all my lottery related posts/thoughts here. Feel free to mock me or participate in picking some potentially winning numbers.

Most of the time I won't be spending any of my hard earned cash on lotto tickets (not until those multi-state lottery jackpots get f'n huge) but I will be fine tuning a system that has been getting me some winning numbers as of late.

Here are my...

The number matrixes of the Powerball and the Mega Millions have changed recently so I'm not expecting my picks for those to be entirely accurate but once both have gone past 70+ drawings my numbers will start hitting more often than not.

Also, when the drawings take place I'll be updating this thread to see how full of shit I am... or if I'm really onto something. 

[Mandark]

Bookmarked thread and already judging you.  Good luck!

[CatsCatsCats]

Omg what did I do to you

[toku]

I believe in the wizard. How did the fleshlight turn out btw?

[G The Resurrected]

I wish you luck!

[Atramental]

Oh one more thing: if there's a certain lottery you want me to generate numbers for feel free to PM me details and I'll see what I can do.

If you win anything big ($50,000 or greater) with those numbers all I would ask is that you donate at least 5% of those winnings to my PayPal. Not saying you have to but... it would be nice to get something for this little budding "hobby" of mine.   

[brawndolicious]

How do you "generate" numbers? It's a random drawing isn't it?

[Atramental]

I have software (I'm not going to say what it is since it is my secret sauce) but it allows me sift through past drawings and see trends. And based off of those trends I can generate numbers that have a slightly higher probability of hitting.

For example, today I played Palmetto Cash 5 (which has better odds than Powerball and Mega Millions) and I won back the $5 I spent on the 5 picks (3 matching numbers = $5).




The 5 numbers were: 28 - 32 - 34 - 36 - 38
http://www.sceducationlottery.com/games2/3winningnumbers_cash5.asp

edit: Correction, I got every number except 32 on the 12 simulated number sets.
I did get a couple of 33s though. A straight set of even numbers is rare so that caught the software by surprise.



edit: Ah, forgot to highlight a 28. Anyways, it's late and I need to sleep. gnite.

kara help

[Phoenix Dark]

You have my excel sheet.

[archie4208]

I spent 2 bucks on Powerball a few weeks ago.

That's enough for me.

[nachobro]

just start using drugs instead, at least you'd get something out it

[thisismyusername]

How did the fleshlight turn out btw?

Fuck the lottery: What @ this tidbit.

[Atramental]

So says the poster who strives too hard for acceptance, in the form of likes, on a video game splinter forum. 

[CatsCatsCats]

Give me 4 dollars (so 8 sets) worth of numbers for mega bucks, I'll run em. Might as well continue my involvement in your descent into madness.

http://www.oregonlottery.org/games/draw-games/oregon's-game-megabucks

[Atramental]

Okay, I've generated the numbers and I'll PM them to you shortly. 

[team filler]

help me win the powerballs

[Atramental]

The Powerball is like torment difficulty in Diablo 3 so you'd probably be better off playing your own state's jackpot lotto.

But I'll go ahead and send you some numbers my program spat out.

[brawndolicious]

I'm oddly okay with the cheap thrill of gambling. But at least save some time and go with random numbers.

[Atramental]

Okay, the winning numbers for Palmetto Cash 5 are: 9 - 10 - 32 - 35 - 36

Thank goodness I'm not spending money on these picks at the moment. 

03 09 14 28 38
01 10 20 26 35
04 20 31 37 38
16 27 28 37 38
08 17 18 29 37
03 05 16 20 32
01 08 20 32 33
11 13 18 26 36
04 08 13 26 34
03 08 30 35 37
06 23 26 29 35
07 10 17 26 36
07 20 24 28 31
12 26 27 33 37
15 16 30 31 35

One thing that I probably should start doing with these generated numbers is shuffle them up a bit  and put those shuffled numbers on a separate table.

I'm oddly okay with the cheap thrill of gambling. But at least save some time and go with random numbers.

Whenever I did "quick picks" they never seemed to be in the ballpark of the winning numbers.

These numbers I'm generating are at least getting fairly close.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I play the lottery too

Only chance to retire early innit

I let the computer pick my numbers, but maybe one day I'll pick my own

[CatsCatsCats]

I ran all 15 sets the wizard gave me, plus one sinceyou have to do groups of two for megabucks. So if I lose on all of them I'll want 5% of my $8 back, it's only fair 

[Atramental]

Here's hoping you win big.

[CatsCatsCats]

Using software like that, don't you run the risk of playing the same numbers as everyone with that software? Thus splitting any jackpot?

[Atramental]

It's possible but not very likely.

When I get home from work I would have to double check but I'm pretty sure the "optimized" numbers get shuffled around into different arrangements each time I generate a new set of tickets.

Edit: On second thought, there could be someone in Oregon running lotto software and buying every ticket it generates. >_>

But they would have to sink a large chunk of cash to do that.

[CatsCatsCats]

Lol I spent 8 bucks for the drama and excitement, to contribute to the thread. If I get hit by a meteor and have to share with some other lottery wizard it will be okay. Feel free to post my results after the draw tonight. The extra set I did was 01 07 09 19 21 29, FYI.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'd be more apt to dabble in the lottery if it could be done online here. I've spent years rolling my eyes at people who play the lottery in the store, especially when I'm behind them in line trying to buy something. I played the Powerball, tho.

[Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich]

Instead of throwing your hard-earned American Dollar(s) at this glorified Ponzi scheme, might I suggest a Beefy Cheddar Crunchwrap® Slider? For only one dollar, you’ll have mad cheddar in both senses of the word. With seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, and crunchy Fritos®, you’re certainly never short on cheese supply. And at only a buck, you’re well on your way to building a seriously baller status money stack, more cheddar if ya get what we’re saying.

I've always found the best place to do lottery is at a pub. I just grabbed lunch at the bar down the street today and filled out my tickets while waiting for food, asked the waitress to run them. I don't wait in lines if I can avoid it

I was a math prodigy who was taking college courses in calculus and differential equations at age 13. So I am very well informed on all things numeric and you should take heed when I say that 29 is an excellent number. Winning numbers are chosen randomly so to win you have to pick the most random number you can find, which 29 is. All of your picks should include as many 29s as you can fit, or you're leaving money on the table.

I picked twenty-nine 29's tonight and I won $2,929,292,929, thx recursivelyenumerable.

[Atramental]

Okay, Oregon's Megabucks winning numbers for tonight are: 8-16-21-22-27-36

And Cat's numbers are:

01 07 09 19 21 29
13 16 22 24 33 44
08 16 22 24 33 41
05 14 18 24 37 44
05 09 10 21 32 46
15 18 23 39 41 42
07 09 26 45 47 48
01 08 10 23 35 42
07 11 18 19 21 25
01 02 19 33 35 45
02 11 18 24 34 41
12 22 36 38 43 44
02 17 24 32 37 40
04 11 23 28 32 46
06 11 12 22 28 43
01 02 09 20 23 41

So it looks like you won one free ticket with those 3 matching numbers.

This week is going to be busy for me work wise but whenever I have a free night I going to see if there's some settings I can tweak to get better results on a regular basis. Also, I plan on trying to generate 1000 or so number sets for the Palmetto Cash 5 to see if I can at least hit 4 numbers and hopefully 5.

[Atramental]

New system: I numbered a bunch of ping pong balls, let them spin around in my dryer for a minute, and picked the ones that were closest to me on the fin.

I dunno. Did you buy a ticket?

edit: Last night's Fantasy 5 numbers for Georgia were: 12 24 26 30 37

edit: You'd probably be better off numbering some ping pong balls and letting them spin around in your dryer tbh. 

[team filler]

you owe me all of that money I would have lost if I had played your numbers.

[Atramental]

Nah. 

[team filler]

I'll see you in court, breh!

[Joe Molotov]

Cock swordfight him for the money.

[CatsCatsCats]

My free ticket also did not win anything, if you're keeping track

[Yeti]

I think you have a much better shot of losing your virginity than winning the lottery. 

[Atramental]

If I win the powerball tonight then the opposite shall be true. 

edit: Also, after tonight I'm going to be taking a long break from playing the lottery because it is really stupid to waste so much money that could be going towards better things.

[Phoenix Dark]

that buck that bought the bottle could have struck the lotto

[Atramental]

You wouldn't believe how many times that thought has popped up in my mind this month.
