log(1-p) = log(1-0.125) = log(0.875) = -0.057992. Save that number to memory. log(1-DC) = log(1-0.75) = log(0.25) = -0.60206. Divide 0.60206 by the number in memory (-0.057992); result: 10.38; always round up to the next integer: 11 in this case.

      I created a mini-table for three types of lotto games: 6/42, 6/48 and 6/54. If you don't bother to work with logarithms and your game is not listed in the table, you can approximate. For example, the popular 6/49 lotto game has the same values as those listed for the 6/48 game. A 6/45 lotto game will have numbers somewhere between 6/42 and 6/48. It is best to select the highest numbers: it increases the winning probability. The values might represent approximations. Trust but verify! I recommend you trust yourself first. Use my FORMULA.EXE and do your own calculations for any game you wish, any p, any DC.

      Turning again to the 6/48 game. For DC=50%, the table shows the number 6. It means that half (50%) of the winning numbers in each draw are repeats from the past 6 drawings! That is, on the average, three of the six winning numbers have also been drawn in the last 6 draws. For DC=75%: three-quarters of the winning numbers in each drawing are repeats from the past 11 draws! That is, on the average, four or five of the six winning numbers have also been drawn in the last 11 drawings. The degree of certainty DC=90% should be obvious now. In 90% of the drawings, all 6 winning numbers were also drawn in the past 17 drawings. I studied for a long time the 6/48 lotto game conducted for many years by Pennsylvania lottery. The gambling formula and the numbers in the table were validated to a high degree. Moreover, there were drawings in which all six winning numbers had been repeats from the past 11-12 drawings, even from the past 6-7 drawings! In the last 500 drawings of the late Wild Card lotto game (6 of 48), in 123 cases (25%) all 6 winning numbers were repeats from the last 12 drawings. In 25 cases (5 times a year), all 6 winners were also drawn in the last 7 drawings. More amazingly, in 7 cases, all 6 winning numbers were repeats from the last 4-5 drawings!!! Such favorable cases were separated by about 50 drawings. In other words, one could select numbers from the last 5 drawings and, say, win, then wait 50 drawings before selecting again numbers from the most recent 5 drawings. That is a serious money-saving method. The lotto wheels in my freeware programMDIEditor and Lotto WE offer the '4 out of 6' minimum guarantee. They offer, however a good shot at higher prizes. I would not be surprised at all if several players even hit the jackpot (the first prize). It is also true that there were situations when only 2-3 numbers were repeats from the last 6 or even 11 drawings.

     In order to apply this knowledge to your playing strategy, you need my lottery software MDIEditor and Lotto. Run the application. Make sure you have created a drawings data file and you keep it updated. It is mandatory! Otherwise, you'll be wasting your time! Do the statistical reporting for the lotto-6 game. Go to the skip chart and only look at the first number listed in each skip string. For example, for the lotto number 13 you will see a skip string like 4 11 9  21 ... The number of importance to you is 4 (the beginning of the string). It is best to work with DC=75%, since it offers a better chance to predict 4 or 5 winning numbers for the next draw. It also offers a better frequency of situations when all six winning numbers are repeats from the last 11-12 drawings. Write down all the lotto numbers for which the skip string starts with a value less than or equal to the value corresponding to DC=75%. In the example above, you would write down all the first numbers in the skip strings less than or equal to 11. In other words, everything between 0 and 11. I usually increase it by 1 (make it 12) since there are approximations in working with logarithms.

      You will come up with 15- 25 numbers, depending on your lotto game. You will not play all the possible combinations since the price of playing them consistently would be prohibitive. Instead, you will use an abbreviated lotto system or lotto wheel .  MDIEditor and Lotto comes with 20+ such systems, some of the best wheels anywhere. They emphasize higher prizes rather than lower costs. Say, you came up with 18 numbers to play for the next drawing. Click on File, Open and select the file SYS-18.46. Follow the instructions on how to apply your picks to that particular lotto wheel.

     This lotto method specifically targets the third prize in the lotto-6 games ('4 out of 6').

      If you came up with too many numbers for your budget, you can reduce them further. Read the Lottery Tutorial in MDIEditor and Lotto. You will want to avoid the worst lottery pairings in your picks. You may also want not to play those numbers which are repeats from the previous drawings. A value of 0 (zero) in the skip string means that the number was also drawn in the previous drawing. It is fairly rare that numbers repeat from one drawing to the next. It does happen, though. I recommend you first try this system on paper, before playing it with real money. You need to understand it real well. You also need take very good care of your lottery drawings (real results) file.

     SuperPower$ does everything that MDIEditor and Lotto does, plus ten times more. Read carefully the tutorial of SuperPower$. The lotto combination generator has a feature that filters out any number or numbers you want. The procedure is automated by a batch file (LEAST.BAT). First, you work with the lottery strategy I presented earlier. For the sake of the example, let's say you came up with 25 lotto numbers to play: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25.
The rest of the numbers will be filtered out. You will write them at the top of your lotto data file, exactly 6 numbers on each line:
26,27,28, 29, 30,31
31,32,33,34,35,36
37,38,39,40,41,42
43,44,45,46,47,48
49,49,49,49,49,49

None of those numbers will appear in any of the lotto combinations generated.
You now have two choices. You can generate lotto combinations without wheeling them (press the function key F7: Combinations - Free Form). Or, you can wheel all the remaining 25 numbers (press the function key F8: Lotto Systems). The wheeling feature generates automatically lotto systems with the following minimum guarantees: "3 out of 6", "4 out of 6", and "5 out of 6". In the first scenario (pressing the function key F7), the program will run forever, unless you press the function key F10. Most of the non-wheeled combinations will be repeated several times. I consider this method to generate the very best quick-picks.
