I've been using different methods and strategies to try and win Colorado's Lotto and Cash 5 to no avail, including Gail Howard's Lottery Master Guide. At best, I've gotten 2 of the 5 winning numbers. One time I chose 20 numbers from a pool of 32, and all the winning numbers were in the remaining 12 that I tossed out.
For some reason I have not used the winning numbers history filter in EL5, and I decided to try it again in the past week (the 11 predictions).
I start with a full wheel, make the 11 predictions, and let the wheel filter down to the remaining tickets. Sometimes I'll end up with 400 or 500 tickets, other times with 40 or 50, and I even ended up with 4 or 5. While I have not predicted a JP winner, in the past week 3 times my package had several 4/5 and 3/5 winners in it. One time, if I bought all 480 tickets I would have won back over $600. Last night and the night before, I've been able to win my money back with 3/5 winners selected from 500 tickets. A 4/5 winner and several more 3/5 winners were left in the package.
Needless to say, predicting the direction of the 11 levels in the winning numbers history function is the closest I've come to a jackpot or second prize. If you have any other tips or suggestions that may help me improve and refine my predictions, I would appreciate them. Otherwise, thanks for a great software package.
