    Happy Pie Day 3.14 2016!

    It is curious, at best, that many lottery players swear by PI! They take the longest possible string of digits in PI and select lottery numbers to play from it. Of course, sometimes such numbers hit here and there in the hundreds of lottery games
    worldwide! I haven't heard of a jackpot win though.

    Let's play:

    3, 14, 15, 59, 26, 53
    (in order, as required by the WLC).

    Even more natural than PI is e: the base of... well... the natural logarithm. The logarithmic function is at the heart of the Universe, as it were. The entire Universe is shaped as the logarithmic function. Remember those open-ended spiral shapes
    of the galaxies (also hurricanes on Earth)...

    So, numeric aficionados (e.g. lottery-krazed forums), let's apply the natural logarithm (ln) to various lottery game formats.

    * 3-digit games (e.g. pick-3 lotteries in USA)
    ln(3) = 1.0986122886681096913952452369225
    Play examples: 109, 861, 228, 866 etc.

    * 4-digit games (e.g. pick-4 lotteries in USA)
    ln(4) = 1.3862943611198906188344642429164
    Play examples: 1386, 2943, 6111, 9890, 6188 etc.

    * 5-number games (e.g. lotto-5 worldwide)
    ln(5) = 1.6094379124341003746007593332262
    Play examples: 1, 6, 16, 9, 43, 12, 24, 34, 41, 10, 37, 22 etc. ("Wheel 'em up, Joe!")

    * 6-number games (e.g. lotto-6 worldwide)
    ln(6) = 1.7917594692280550008124773583807
    Play examples: 1, 17, 9, 59, 46, 22, 8, 55, 12, 47, 35 etc. ("Wheel 'em up, Kokostirk!")

    You must check for winners before actual play. Look for number strings that haven't won significantly in a long time. The best software for the task is Bright*.exe, component U = Super Utilities, function W = Check Winners. The function can check
    strings of numbers -- e.g. 12 lotto numbers before wheeling or generating combinations.

    Best of luck to you all, axiomatics!

    Very interesting. I might try it out. Create 5-number combinations from the numbers in PI, and another from a chosen log(x) number. Backtrack both against history archive. Any relation? Will see.
    Axiomatic:

    How about this novel approach? Let's use PI as a randomization seed. I opened the source code of Wheel6 and added this statement:

    ' TheSeed = TheSeeder ()
    ' RANDOMIZE TheSeed
    ' FOR I = 1 TO RND(1,1618)
    ' TheSeed = TheSeeder ()
    ' NEXT I
    '
    ' RANDOMIZE TheSeed

    RANDOMIZE 3.1415926535897932384626433832795

    Wheel6.exe is lotto wheeling software in random-generation mode: http://saliu.com/lotto6-software.html
    (Best Lotto Software for 6 Numbers Lottery Games) http://saliu.com/ultimate-lotto6-software.html
    (Ultimate Software for All 6-Number Lotto Games)

    I chose the '4 of 6' minimum guarantee for 59 numbers. Data file used: UK 6/59 Lotto. Last (most recent) drawing in the file: February 25, 2017
    18 24 34 38 41 49

    I applied just one filter (restriction):
    Del6 = 12000000 (12 million… yes, it gets that high some 15 times in 100 draws).
    Del6 is short for Delta-6. It eliminates all 6-number groups in each of the past draws selected (e.g. 1000000). The groups are in delta format. That is, all groups that have the same deltas are eliminated. If a past combonation was
    5 15 22 32 46 55
    then the program also eliminates:

    4 14 21 31 45 54
    6 16 23 33 47 56
    7 17 24 34 48 57
    etc., etc.

    I stopped the Wheel-6 program after some 500 combosnations generated and selected the last 20.

    3 5 8 13 50 57
    2 7 17 20 45 56
    2 9 12 38 48 55
    3 9 32 35 48 59
    5 9 15 22 54 56
    7 9 42 47 50 58
    2 29 44 49 51 58
    2 14 26 42 50 52
    2 17 26 34 40 59
    3 14 26 27 53 58
    7 17 27 39 49 51
    8 22 26 36 38 46
    8 18 42 46 50 55
    9 13 19 20 30 58
    9 13 17 47 51 57
    10 19 28 37 51 55
    13 21 36 39 47 55
    15 19 25 29 39 43
    16 41 45 49 52 56
    38 40 42 45 46 48

    Check it out and see how the 20-combo set fares in the next UK 6/59 lottery draws...

    Ultra Axiomatics:

    • There is a new useful feature for reading the Usenet posts in Google Groups. The vast majority of newsgroup members use GROUPS.GOOGLE.COM to post and read on the Internet pioneering service, Usenet.

    One drawback of the Google service, very useful otherwise, is the default font. It is a proportional font (of variable width, that is). However, initially, Usenet was written and shown in a monospace font.

    Many of the statistical reports I posted over the years did not show up in an acceptable format. The original format was typewriter format (the Courier font). I shall inventory the most important posts in this newsgroup and refer the readers to this
    important thread. Viewing will be better overall.

    It is quite easy and simple to add this useful feature to two of your browsers: Chrome and Firefox. Just read this axiomatic thread:
