Winning
Numbers History Page
This
page provides a tool for lottery strategy based on evaluation of the frequency
of number occurrences in the lottery history. The reasons for this strategy
are given here.
The
upper left part of this window contains controls for winning
numbers selection, where you can chose a subset of winning numbers
database to be processed by the functions in this application page.
The
right hand part of the window offers several sub-pages for each Winning
Numbers History function:
- Number History - presents
the history of occurrences of individual numbers up to their 11th occurrence
back in lottery history. The next draw of winning numbers rearranges data
in this table and you can correctly estimate this change using simple
mathematical tools. The first column contains numbers from 1 up to the
maximum drawn number according to currently selected lottery. Column labeled
"0" shows the count of draws to the first occurrence of the
number from a given row back in the lottery history. Remaining columns
labeled "-1" to "-10" present subsequent repeated
number occurrences in the lottery history displayed as the count of draws.

From the table above you can see that number "1" came up
just 3 draws ago; its second occurrence is 14 draws ago and the third
occurrence of this number is 18 draws ago etc. (measured from the latest
record in the winning numbers database). In parenthesis you can see the
differences between neighboring columns (e.g. Difference(-5) = Value(-5)
- Value(-4)). Option Show allows switching between History
and Differences, History only, Differences only and Differences and History
values being displayed in the table for better readability. The bottom
part of this page shows row labeled Sum, which provides summary
values for each column above. These sums then provide input for Summary
Table. Detailed description and usage of this page is available here.
- History
Differences - contains a table of differences for a single column
of the Number History table. Each table row represents one possible
difference value; each cell in the row then shows a drawn number for the
given difference for the selected column. Basically this is an inverted
table to the Number History table showing column differences only.

Option History to Show allows selecting the Number History
column to be shown. Row headers show the difference value and the count
of numbers in the row (in parenthesis), row cells contains all drawn numbers
which have the same difference in the given column in the Number History
table. According to the example above the difference (difference between
column "-1" and "0") for number "4" has
the value of 13. Above the table listing individual differences area the
following data:
Max(-) = provides the maximum negative difference which could
arise should the last six numbers from the table list are drawn.
Sim = provides numerical value of the future difference resulting
from the simulated ticket.
Max (+) = provides the maximum possible value of difference which
could arise should the numbers in the first 6 positions in the appropriate
table are drawn.
The table highlights numbers entered in the edit fields next to Draw
Simulation option with a thick black border. The right hand part
of this screen contains three segments where you can select conditions
for package filtering invoked by Filter button. The button is
disabled when the package is empty. Detailed description for these functions
is available in a separate chapter for the History
Differences page.
The bottom part of the screen contains Simulate button. This
button starts random number generator to simulate winning numbers draws.
After 100000 simulated draws the red/green progress bar provides the lowest
and the highest sum values in selected column and also the median value
and the number of steps carried out in simulation. When using this page
for the first time these values are labeled as n/a. The progress
bar shows the probability percentage of draws leading to decreasing sum
value in the coming draw for the selected column.
- Summary Table - contains
the sums for each columns back in the lottery history. The table displays
200 recent draws. You can change this count using menu Lottery
Preferences
WN History - Number of rows in the Summary Table. The row
headers provide the date of the draw. Option Show: allows
switching between History only , History and Differences, Difference
only, Difference and History and Segments values being displayed
in the table. The table data are also displayed graphically in History
Chart page.
- History
Charts - presents the development of sums from the Summary
Table as a chart. The option in the upper left part of this screen
allows switching between Summary Chart and Differences Chart.
Each chart line represents one column from the Summary Table. The
chart window appearance can be adjusted.
If you drag the range lines of any chart then their new position(s)
will be available as default parameter value(s) in
Winning Numbers History filter window.
- Simulation - here
you can simulate the sum development using (randomly) generated tickets
or package contents. Table shows columns with sum values, estimates for
their expected movement, average sum value after simulation with all the
tickets from generator / package, average difference etc.
Update button updates the contents of
all sub-pages for the selected winning numbers range.
Print button prints the contents of currently
displayed table.
Export button allows exporting the currently
displayed table to a file in a text format (CSV) suitable for processing
in other applications, e.g. spreadsheet processors.
At
the bottom of this screen you can find Draw Simulation option,

which allows simulating the coming draw by entering your numbers into edit
fields (numbers 1 to 7 are provided as defaults). The entered numbers
are highlighted in History Differences
table even if the Draw Simulation option is switched off. Turning
the Draw Simulation option on recalculates the Number
History table to simulate a draw (i.e. as if the entered numbers were
drawn as the winning ones). The Sum row is updated as well and
its values are added to the end of the Summary
Table as a new row labeled Draw Simulation. These new sum
values are also displayed in History
Charts page.
Checking
box Use Package Tickets the tickets are transferred from the
to editing windows to package. You can scroll through package via arrows
right from the number informing you about ticket position within the package.
If the tickets in the package are tagged due to previous processing such
tags are shown in the box "tag". You can also change this tag
(insert/cancel tags).
You
can also use favorite tickets
to enter numbers for the Draw Simulation function.

use of this function is here.
