&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve spent the last 3 days analysing the filter statistics for EuroMillions using our favourite lottery software &lt;a href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LotWin 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are definately a few filters that have made my final lists of required selections for this week&amp;#39;s draw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="With Last Draw Filter Set" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/with_last_draw.jpg" width="694" height="304" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first one, as it can be seen above, is the &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#39;With Last Draw&amp;#39;&lt;/strong&gt; filter. One or two numbers with the last draw are &amp;#39;long overdue&amp;#39; and by selecting this we cut the number of lines to under 45% of all possible ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="5 Horizonatl Filter" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/5_horizontal.jpg" width="695" height="350" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next one is the &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#39;5 Horizontal&amp;#39;&lt;/strong&gt; filter. The 2-1-1-1-0 filter usually appears every 1 or 2 draws and a delay of 4 draws already make it a canditate for selection. If you don&amp;#39;t understand exactly what the 5 Horizontal filter is here is a screenshot from the LotWin Help file:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="5 Horizontal filter explanation" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/50_ball_lotteries.jpg" width="449" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So we are selecting 2 numbers in any one line and a single number from any 3 other lines. This represents 49.6% of all possible lines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Combining the &amp;#39;With Last Draw&amp;#39; with the &amp;#39;5 Horizontal&amp;#39; filter we end up with 20.8% of all possible combinations or 441,160 lines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="All Filters of 5th Feb" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/050210_filters.jpg" width="702" height="427" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are another 6 &amp;#39;long overdue&amp;#39; filters that I have picked. I only expect around 2 or so of them to come up so I have set this in the &amp;#39;Options&amp;#39; but I have set a &lt;strong&gt;&amp;#39;Lock&amp;#39;&lt;/strong&gt; on my favourite ones (the first 2) so they are not affected. As a result we have ended up with only 6.7% of combinations, 142,411 lines. An &amp;#39;Optimum Reduction&amp;#39; will sort it in under 2 seconds. These filters will be valid for the next few weeks so don&amp;#39;t dimiss them if they don&amp;#39;t appear this week. &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0972008063?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=apokerlypse-21&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1634&amp;amp;creative=6738&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0972008063" target="_blank"&gt;Just keep your mind behind your eyes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;nbsp;can share the winnings or I can keep it all to myself, you choose. Just &lt;a href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;login to your account&lt;/a&gt; and have a &lt;strong&gt;free&lt;/strong&gt; share of the lines I&amp;#39;ve played and we can celebrate together.&lt;/p&gt;

Who said lottery numbers don&amp;#39;t repeat. Apparently there were only 18 people that played the same numbers again and shared the Jackpot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As this Friday 18th of September the EuroMillions Jackpot is $145,000,000 I have 10 free entries for the members of my syndicate and one of them is last week&amp;#39;s 5 winning numbers. See &lt;a href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/downloads.aspx"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/lotto_syndicate.aspx"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; about the LotWin Guru&amp;#39;s syndicate and how you can join for the free entries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t forget to check the Previous Draws filter in LotWin when you select your filters and numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

I have been helping them with ideas and beta testing and the new version &amp;#39;LotWin 2009&amp;#39; will be available in a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s a preview of some of the new functionality added to the program:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="1" alt="Lottery Draw Intervals" src="http://lotwinguru.com/controlpanel/blogs/pics/0409/drawintervals.jpg" width="1" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img height="375" alt="Lottery Draw Intervals" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/drawintervals.jpg" width="737" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Draw intervals increased from 5 to 10 so&amp;nbsp;we can have a better view of the times that any particular filter was drawn like the 3-2-1-0 or 3-3-0-0 dozens filters above for the UK National Lottery for the 18th of April draw or soon after. This will reduce the possible combinations by 65%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="499" alt="Lottery Statistics Intervals" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/stat.jpg" width="805" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also shown in the Statistics window for all filters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="474" alt="Advanced Build Options" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/minus.jpg" width="655" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New &amp;#39;MINUS&amp;#39; function in the Advanced Build Options that will alow us to remove a set of lines from the current list. This was one of the most requested features.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="411" alt="Lottery Pairs" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/pairs.jpg" width="632" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="411" alt="Lottery Trias" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/triads.jpg" width="631" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New option to display statistics for a chosen number in Pairs and Triads. This new feature could really make a big difference in our selections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="358" alt="Lottery toolbar" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/toolbar.jpg" width="751" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Toolbar is now user definable so you can add or remove functionality to suit your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="342" alt="Web access to lottery filter sets" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/0409/web.jpg" width="361" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The new version will come without any filters but they will still be available directly from the LotWin Website. By clicking on the &amp;#39;Web&amp;#39; menu option you will get a list of all available filters for the specific lottery you are using. This was my request to the team and I&amp;#39;m happy that they have obliged. If you have created any filters that you are proud of and you want to share them with other users of LotWin email them to me and I will make sure they get on the web files with or without&amp;nbsp;your name (nickname if you prefer).&amp;nbsp;This is&amp;nbsp;our opportunity to show the world how&amp;nbsp;we have cracked the lottery &lt;img src="http://lotwinguru.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are going to use the EuroMillions lottery but the same principle applies to any lottery. Start by splitting the numbers of your lottery in to a few groups. How many groups you use is up to you but I would suggest 6 to 10 groups. So here are my 6 groups for EuroMillions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Group 1: 1 3 7 11 12 19 37 50&lt;br /&gt;Group 2: 2 13 22 30 31 34 42 43 48&lt;br /&gt;Group 3: 3 9 14 15 21 25 44 45&lt;br /&gt;Group 4: 4 6 8 10 26 29 36 41&lt;br /&gt;Group 5: 5 16 27 35 38 40 47 49&lt;br /&gt;Group 6: 17 18 20 24 28 32 33 39 46&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go to the ‘Number Filter’ in the main LotWin screen and double-click on ‘Number Sets’. In the first set select the Group 1 numbers and set ‘Include no more than 3 and at least 2’. Click ‘Next Set’ and select Group 2 numbers with the same settings ‘3 and 2’. Repeat for the rest of the Groups. Click OK and then click on ‘Options’ in the main screen and select ‘Accept entries which fail up to 4 and at least 4 number sets from 6’. That’s it, we have a new filter for EuroMillions in the form of 3-2-0-0-0 and here it is if you want to just copy and paste it in to LotWin using the ‘Line Builder’ menu option ‘Paste Filter Set’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[My Own Filter Set 3-2-0-0-0]5.1&lt;br /&gt;N,4,4&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 1,3,2,1,3,7,11,12,19,37,50&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 2,3,2,2,13,22,30,31,34,42,43,48&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 3,3,2,3,9,14,15,21,25,44,45&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 4,3,2,4,6,8,10,26,29,36,41&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 5,3,2,5,16,27,35,38,40,47,49&lt;br /&gt;Category 18, group 6,3,2,17,18,20,24,28,32,33,39,46&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wanted a different filter for the same groups of numbers for example 2-2-1-0-0 change each of the number sets to ‘Include no more than 2 and at least 1’ and in the Options ‘Accept entries which fail up to 3 and at least 3 number sets from 6’. Save your set first so you don’t have to enter the numbers again, just change the conditions each time if they are different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How about if we wanted 2 or more filters? Well our favourite &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;lottery software&lt;/a&gt; caters for this also. In the Options select ‘Enable Advanced Build Options’ and for the second, third … filter select ‘Add Previous Lines to Build List’ after you click on ‘Build Lines’. Combine with any other standard filters you choose, run an ‘Optimum Reduction’ and when you win send me&amp;nbsp;a small percentage&amp;nbsp;of your winnings for my daily requirements of espresso and tiramisu in these difficult times. &lt;img src="http://lotwinguru.com/emoticons/emotion-5.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The financial situation is not as good as I would like it to be and I&amp;#39;m sure you had some worries over the last couple of months with the way things are going. I&amp;#39;m down telephone numbers on the value of my properties but at the end of the day it&amp;#39;s only money and as we know &amp;#39;money is not everything&amp;#39; and as we said in the first teaching “you don’t need money to be happy but you do need to be happy to make money”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So let&amp;#39;s be happy and appreciative of being on this planet; exploring all the physical things that it does provide us with and make some money to extend our experience on the physical, whilst at the same time we improve our consciousness and lower our entropy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In our favourite &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;lotto program&lt;/a&gt;, LotWin Lottery Line Builder, we have all sorts of Group filters, odd-even, low-high, consecutive, last digit, decades, dozens ... The User filters which I know many of you use quite often allow us to create our own filters similar to low-high format but how about if we wanted to have a new filter of our own similar to consecutives or decades where we can define groups like 3-2-0-0-0 or 2-2-1-0-0?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have spoken to the LotWin team and they tell me that this is not possible as they have a different program that creates all these sets for each lottery and then add them to LotWin, otherwise it would have taken hours for each of them to be created real-time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But as we have learned in the past everything is possible in the physical world, it is just that when people don&amp;#39;t think it is that it becomes mystical or magical when it manifests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I set myself the task in the past month to find a solution. Twenty minutes meditation twice a day to clear the noise, double espresso in Ventimiglia or San Remo in the morning, lunch in Vilefrance-sur-Mer, Cannes or Saint Tropez, depending on the traffic on the A8 and ice-cream in Juan Le Pins in the evening, that&amp;#39;s all it takes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally the solution was there in front of my physical eyes. I could use the &amp;#39;Number Sets&amp;#39; with the &amp;#39;Advanced Build Options&amp;#39;. That was easy...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be continued...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For yesterday&amp;#39;s draw, Polish Duży Lotek 29th July, I used the new &lt;strong&gt;One-Click&lt;/strong&gt; function in our beloved &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin 2008&lt;/a&gt; lottery software for the first time and below are the results:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="594" alt="Polish lottery draw" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/polish-oneclick.jpg" width="637" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On &amp;#39;View Lines&amp;#39; I clicked Analyse and selected pairs, that is the pairs&amp;nbsp;available from the entries created by the One-Click. We played the first few in the syndicate and the 3rd line had both numbers correct winning 60 times our stake. The 16th pair had also 2 correct that would have paid another 60 to 1 but I&amp;#39;ve only selected the first few pairs.&amp;nbsp;In the&amp;nbsp;actual lines produced by LotWin were entries of 4 and many 3 correct as you can see above. If you were in Poland and played the lottery there 3 correct won 16 zl, 4 correct 119.20 zl, 5 correct 3916 zl and all 6 nearly 10,000,000 zl.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is worth mentioning that the full list produced by the One-Click was 4% of the total lines had only 5 not 6 correct but the Optimum Reduction for 3 out of 6 correct produced 4 correct!!! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, how do we use &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt; the lottery software par excellence to get 2, 3 or 4 numbers to play? I thought LotWin only supported 5 and 6 ball lotteries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is true but the guys on the LotWin team have given us so many options that we can easily adjust the program to suit our game. The technique is really simple. Let’s illustrate it with an example for tonight’s Spanish La Primitiva lottery. The same applies for the UK’s 49’s lottery, the Daily lotto,&amp;nbsp;Lunchtime lotto, Hotpicks, the bookmakers version of the Irish lotto (Lucky Clover), GB Lotto, etc...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="408" alt="3 Bankers" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/3bankers.jpg" width="634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We first select 3 bankers as above. These will be the numbers that you DON’T want to play. It is usually easier and less confusing if you select the first 3 or the last 3 numbers in the lottery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then we go to the Number Sets filter and select the numbers we DO want to play. In the example below I’ve selected 6 numbers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="407" alt="6 lottery numbers" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/6numbers.jpg" width="629" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I have set the conditions Min 3 and Max 3 numbers from the 6 to come up. Any 3 from 6 is 20 combinations but if you didn’t know that just click on Build Lines and LotWin will tell you. Don’t get confused by the text on the top of this image ‘Total lines covered 246,820&amp;#39;. That would be the case if you didn’t have the 3 bankers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clicking on View Lines will show you the 20 lines&amp;nbsp;LotWin has built for you:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="245" alt="20 lottery entries" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/20lines.jpg" width="345" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see LotWin has created all the 20 entries of 6 numbers per line but 47, 48 and 49 were our bankers (the numbers we didn’t want to play). So we are left with 20 lines of 3 numbers each. If we were to play these entries for tonight’s La Primitiva it would have cost us 20 units and for ‘each line’ of 3 correct we would have a return of 675 units. (Each unit can be as low as 25p, check your &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;account&lt;/a&gt; for the link).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be on the safe side I would also add a few entries of 2 numbers that would return 60 units if only 2 numbers were correct. It’s the same principle; 4 bankers and Conditions Min=2 and Max=2 instead of 3, which is 15 entries. 20+15=35 entries all together, if only a line of 2 is correct you get 60 units back, nearly double your stake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But 6 numbers are too few to play I hear you cry. Ok, let’s go higher. How about 16 numbers? That will be 560 combinations with a return of 675 if just 3 numbers from 16 were correct. Somebody show me how you can do that in your national lottery; the best wheel I know for 3 correct if 3 in 16 is 38 combinations and no lottery pays 38/1 for 3 correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course you don’t want to play 560 combinations; firstly it’s the cost and second you don’t have the time to type them in. Bookmakers seem to be slow in online technology. I’m sure the LotWin team could add a routine in their &amp;#39;Print Lines to Coupon&amp;#39; function that could send all your entries straight to your bookmaker’s website.&amp;nbsp;That would require their co-operation to accept the entries but is child&amp;#39;s play, I&amp;#39;ve been told. Any interested bookmakers should contact the LotWin team; I can see a big business opportunity here for both parties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what can you do? Well, you shouldn’t use our trusted Optimum Reduction in this case but the Standard Reduction is what&amp;nbsp;is needed here. The reason is that as you only get paid for all correct you want to be as close as possible to the winning line. You should use Standard Reduction for ‘At least 5’ winning entries or ‘At least 3’ winning entries with ‘Maximum Returns’. As you have 3 bankers the Reduction will be for ‘At least 5’ correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If all the above seems too confusing please post comments and/or ask questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, who knows…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be continued?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So lotteries don’t pay for 1 or 2 numbers correct and they only distribute&amp;nbsp;50% or less&amp;nbsp;from the money they take.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there are companies that know everything about odds and operate with very small margins. They are called bookmakers and a few years ago they got into the lottery games knowing that they could attract a large chunk of the punters by offering way better odds for picking the right numbers. Their prizes are guaranteed and don’t depend on the number of people winning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the UK they even have their own lottery called 49’s and the odds they offer are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;1 correct number 7 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;2 correct numbers 54 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;3 correct numbers 601 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;4 correct numbers 8001 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;5 correct numbers 150,001 times your stake&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But before you rush to open accounts with bookmakers left, right and centre stop and read on. There is a lot of competition in the market so I looked around for best returns and the best odds I have found, for now, up to 33% higher, are available when you login to your account &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. It is the link with the title ‘Play the lotteries the Guru plays’ or something similar. The payouts are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;1 correct number 7.5 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;2 correct numbers 60 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;3 correct numbers 675 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;4 correct numbers 10,500 times your stake&lt;br /&gt;5 correct numbers 200,000 times your stake&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They have a daily lotto based on European 6/49 lotteries from Portugal to Romania. They also cover EuroMillions (they call it Spanish Lotto for some legal reason I suppose) and they have guaranteed prizes in all but one categories up to 3 times as much as EuroMillions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All that sounds too good to be true and there must be a catch somewhere, I hear you say. Well, there are a couple but it’s not as bad as you think. First catch is that you must have all the numbers you select correct; so if you play 4 numbers you don’t win anything for having 3 correct, or if you play 3 numbers you don&amp;#39;t win anything for 2 correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do you then find the true odds? Well, a line of 6 numbers can be covered with 15 lines of 4 numbers. That means you need 15 bets to cover one line of a 6/49 lottery but the payout is 10,500 times your stake so your true odds are 10,500/15 =&amp;nbsp;700 to 1. If you think that a 6/49 lottery pays around 40-50 times your stake for 4 correct your advantage is 13-17 times better return on your investment than a regular lottery. It&amp;#39;s like winning 17 times in&amp;nbsp;one draw!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now let’s consider the case of having 5 correct playing your national 6/49 lottery. Your 15 lines of 4 with the bookmaker will have 5 lines of 4 correct that will pay out 52,500 times your stake per line. The average payout with your lottery normally is around 1,000 to 1 but with the bookmakers you will get 5 x 10,500 = 52,500 divided by 15 lines = 3,500 times your investment, which is 3.5 times more money than your lottery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So the first catch is not much of a problem really. I usually go for lines with 3 or 4 numbers with some lines of 2. The reason is that if I only get one line of 2 correct I will get 60 times my stake which will cover all my investment for this draw and a few draws to follow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second catch is that bookmakers usually don’t pay top prize or there is a limit of around £1,000,000. This is probably a reason that many people stick with their national lottery in the hope of becoming millionaires overnight and as a consequence they get the worst odds most of the time. But this is the wrong way to look at it and there is a way around this which I use when a jackpot is quite a few million pounds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The solution is to play with both for those draws. The minimum cost per line with the bookmakers can be 1/4 or less than the cost of any 6/49 lottery. Having a line with 2 numbers correct at bookmaker odds can return your investment in both and you are still&amp;nbsp;with a chance for the 10,000,000+ jackpot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So there you have it; you have paid off your mortgage, the kids have left home, you have booked your holidays for next year, time to have some fun. &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Login&lt;/a&gt; to your account and&amp;nbsp;get ready to play with better odds when is appropriate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, how do I use the LotWin lottery software to create entries with 2, 3 or 4 numbers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be continued…&lt;/p&gt;

In doing so they have to deal with very low returns, in the hope of hitting the jackpot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The money lotteries pay out is usually less than 50% of the money they take in. Compare this with 97.5% returns for single zero roulette or ~99% on blackjack the conclusion is obvious. But the lotteries have another trick up their sleeve; the jackpot. Well, I will do everything in my power to help you with that but let&amp;#39;s continue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what are you saying LG? Stop playing the lottery and put my money in a bank to earn interest? Well, from 1970 to 2007 the average compound rate of return for the S&amp;amp;P 500 incl. re-investment of dividends was around 11.4% per year (source: standardandpoors.com).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If instead of playing around 15 lines in the lottery twice a week you had invested that money (like some), after 39 years you would have made your first million and 6 years later your second and probably double that every 6 years thereafter. How is that for a jackpot in a lifetime? During the same period in the lottery you would have played around 72,000 lines out of 14,000,000 for a (theoretical) chance of a jackpot of 0.005 % (the actual % is probably much lower).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But who needs sound financial advice when you can play the lottery and hit the jackpot, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OK, I get your point, we need to win now, tomorrow never comes, and if it not this draw it would definitely be the one after.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s be clear whatever I tell you below cannot improve on the jackpot at least for now. With our favourite software we can bring this down to 1 or 2 million to 1, otherwise the jackpot will always be 1 in 14 million for a 6/49 lottery and you will need a little bit of luck to get there, but as it says at the top of my website ‘Luck is when opportunity knocks, and you answer’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me take you back to when you had a few small wins in the lottery, how did it happen? In my experience you found 2-3 strong filters in &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt; lottery software then you went on to the number sets and picked just 4-5 numbers with the condition of a couple of them to be correct. And after an Optimum reduction, if necessary, you ended up with a line of 3 or even 4 correct and you were ecstatic and rightly so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So let’s start with 5 numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. How about if I told you that if you had just one of these 5 numbers correct you are guaranteed 50% profit every time on your investment? Or if you had 2 numbers correct you are guaranteed 500% profit on your investment? But the lottery does not pay for 1 or 2 correct I hear you cry.&lt;/p&gt;

They are for tomorrow&amp;#39;s 14th July draw based on the Portugal Loto 2.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These are not your usual lottery entries. They are for 3 and 4 correct. They pay 675/1 for all 3 correct and 10,500/1 for all 4 correct. If you want to&amp;nbsp;learn more login to your account and click on the link.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each one of you gets all 15 entries. The last 5 are only for me (Guru &amp;#39;The&amp;#39;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will explain later on how it works and why it is better than standard lottery entries. All entries were created with &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt; lottery software. If you don&amp;#39;t know how to make reduced entries in LotWin for just 2, 3, or 4 numbers in a 6 ball lottery let me know and I will tell all.

You are supposed to help each other, post your latest ideas and suggestions so we can win the jackpot soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I was looking at the sunrise early this morning from the balcony in&amp;nbsp;the villa (I know it looks like a sunset but it is the sunrise)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="334" alt="Sunrise" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/july08a.jpg" width="512" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and I was thinking of ways I can help you more with your quest to win the lottery.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been told that the one-click version should be ready soon and the good people at &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt;, the lottery software par excellence, have incorporated my request for sorting the &amp;#39;Number Statistics&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Pair Statistics&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Triad Statistics&amp;#39; pages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="820" alt="Number Sorting" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/sorting.jpg" width="555" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will find this function very useful&amp;nbsp;because you can see from there&amp;nbsp;how&amp;nbsp;often, numbers, pairs and triads repeat so you can eliminate/include them from/in your combinations. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example in the above image you can see that in the last EuroMillions draw 3 pairs had never appeared before, 4 had appeared between 4 and 32 draws ago and&amp;nbsp;then&amp;nbsp;2 pairs appeared 109 draws ago and the last one 185 draws ago. In the triads screen 9 out of the 10 possible triads never appeared before. There are a lot of lines there to be eliminated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime as I&amp;#39;m sitting by the pool appreciating the beauty of this planet with the Alps in the background (I cannot believe there is still some snow there or is it low cloud?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="380" alt="Pool" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/july08b.jpg" width="544" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought it will be a good idea to give you some more free tickets for different lotteries. So I decided, from next week,&amp;nbsp;to have more entries for all of you&amp;nbsp;two or even three times a week for lotteries like Loto 2 Portugal(Monday), Duzy Lotek Poland(Tuesday), Loto France(Wednesday), La Primitiva Spain(Thursday), EuroMillins (Friday), Loto Greece(Saturday) and maybe even Loto Romania(Sunday).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only thing is that you have to check your &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;account&lt;/a&gt; regularly as you&amp;nbsp;might have less than 20 hours to select your entries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, where is the Piz Buin 25?&lt;/p&gt;

Below is a screenshot from &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt; (the lottery software for&amp;nbsp;enlightened minds).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="593" alt="LotWin software" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/thunder2506.jpg" width="564" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 28,676 lines produced by the strategy had the jackpot! &lt;strong&gt;Statistics,&lt;/strong&gt; and I emphasize the word for some reason, say chances of 5 correct are 1 in ~300,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Optimum Reduction used for Guarantee 2 correct. Chances of 3 correct in ThunderBall are 1 in 74. What do you think? Does it look good?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, there will be a few that say you have written the post after the results and this is true. But would I&amp;nbsp;try to mislead you, scam you or feed you false information? See below and tell me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reminder: If you have not picked up your &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;free syndicate ticket&lt;/a&gt; Now is the time, otherwise you will end up writing comments in youtube about how miserable everything is and&amp;nbsp;that everybody is against you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;er876897 (22 hours ago)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;haha what a scam, everyone whose watching this just give me $100 instead and i&amp;#39;ll tell you what numbers to pick, your odds will be EXACTLY THE SAME of winning since the previous draws have absolutely NO EFFECT on what numbers will come in the future &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lotwinguru (21 hours ago)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You obviously don&amp;#39;t understand what the program is doing and your understanding of numbers is as good as those that believed that the earth is flat and in the centre of the universe. Evolution is slow; maybe that&amp;#39;s a good thing... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;er876897 (1 hour ago)&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;maybe I don&amp;#39;t understand what the program does exactly, but, if it claims to do anything to increase your odds of winning then it is a total scam. I know this because I have taken many statistics and math courses in university. Let me ask you this, does this program use any previous winning lottery numbers to &amp;quot;predict&amp;quot; a future lottery outcome? Because if it does, then it is a scam. Please explain if you think differently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lotwinguru&amp;nbsp;(now)&lt;/strong&gt; (always in the Now)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Well, you are university educated in maths and&amp;nbsp;statistics and they told you all the things you ‘need to know’; excellent. So, what you’ve learned there is that you can call something a scam without looking at it but because &amp;#39;lottery&amp;#39; or some other offensive word to your physce was mentioned. Congratulations, you have a great future in last century’s politics. Somehow the word ‘conditioning’ comes to mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all I’ve been using this lottery software for a few years (and others before that) and I know most (not all) of the things it can do. I have a website &lt;a href="http://lotwinguru.com/"&gt;http://lotwinguru.com&lt;/a&gt; where I talk about it and give people tips and ideas on how to use the program. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;But let’s get in to your argument. The software does not predict anything as yet, although a predict function would be useful to see someone else’s take on a particular set of statistics. What it does is billions of calculations in seconds that could not have been done in a million years any other way and surprise! it gives you lots of statistics. But why am I telling you this, you’ve done statistics and you should know all about them. And what do you, as the observer of the statistics do with it? Did I hear you say ‘you use statistics to predict things’? Why would you do that? That would be a scam; previous events don&amp;#39;t influence future ones. I kept telling everybody that the BBC weather man was a scam artist, but they wouldn’t&amp;nbsp;listen to&amp;nbsp;me!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without innovative people, over the centuries, that create amazing algorithms you’ll still be writing your C.V. in stone tablets trying to get a&amp;nbsp;low-paid job in the new cave. You have to be careful in the choice of words you use as there is too much competition for a job in a tabloid and I don’t&amp;nbsp;fancy your chances highly there either.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you can prove to the world that the money for your education was not wasted by coming to my website to read what other people say, by trying an evaluation copy of the &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;lottery software&lt;/a&gt; or by offering an apology for&amp;nbsp;libeling something you knew absolutely nothing about. Then we can all be proud of you, your teachers&amp;nbsp;and the education system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I offer all the users of the LotWin program (that is, users that have already bought the program, this is not an incentive) free lottery entries sometimes because I want to, I enjoy it and I can afford it. I’m&amp;nbsp;certain one day you too will do something rewarding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LotWin Guru&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;p.s. feel free to add your comments but don’t let the &lt;a class="" href="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/2008/03/30/lottery-numbers-and-the-egoic-mind.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;egoic mind&lt;/a&gt; take over. Don’t forget there is abundance for everyone but you have to give first so you can receive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I decided to&amp;nbsp;give you all the lines from 1 of the 2 experimental systems I&amp;#39;m working on. Some of these lines are available on the free syndicate entries but some are not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feel free to look at or play any of the lines you like, only after whispering to yourself the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I will give The LotWin Guru 10% of my winnings if I have 5, 5+1B or 5+2B&amp;nbsp;correct&amp;quot;. If you feel that you cannot do that click &lt;a class="" href="http://plus.maths.org/issue45/risk/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lines are in ascending order and not in order of best coverage. I use the best coverage order for the syndicate. Here are the lines:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;24&amp;nbsp;31&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;1&amp;nbsp;10&amp;nbsp;32&amp;nbsp;33&amp;nbsp;34&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;1&amp;nbsp;12&amp;nbsp;22&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;46&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;1&amp;nbsp;16&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;18&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;1&amp;nbsp;18&amp;nbsp;25&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;2&amp;nbsp;26&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;37&amp;nbsp;48&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;2&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;48&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;3&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;16&amp;nbsp;27&amp;nbsp;50&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;3&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;14&amp;nbsp;49&amp;nbsp;50&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;3&amp;nbsp;12&amp;nbsp;20&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;3&amp;nbsp;18&amp;nbsp;22&amp;nbsp;23&amp;nbsp;24&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;4&amp;nbsp;26&amp;nbsp;27&amp;nbsp;30&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;5&amp;nbsp;9&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;5&amp;nbsp;10&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;5&amp;nbsp;14&amp;nbsp;18&amp;nbsp;34&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;5&amp;nbsp;19&amp;nbsp;20&amp;nbsp;21&amp;nbsp;49&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;6&amp;nbsp;9&amp;nbsp;15&amp;nbsp;25&amp;nbsp;38&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;7&amp;nbsp;20&amp;nbsp;27&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;40&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;8&amp;nbsp;11&amp;nbsp;22&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;8&amp;nbsp;12&amp;nbsp;23&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;37&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;8&amp;nbsp;36&amp;nbsp;40&amp;nbsp;42&amp;nbsp;45&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;9&amp;nbsp;19&amp;nbsp;21&amp;nbsp;38&amp;nbsp;40&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;10&amp;nbsp;11&amp;nbsp;13&amp;nbsp;37&amp;nbsp;45&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;10&amp;nbsp;12&amp;nbsp;18&amp;nbsp;32&amp;nbsp;49&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;10&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;24&amp;nbsp;32&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;10&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;30&amp;nbsp;31&amp;nbsp;46&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;11&amp;nbsp;24&amp;nbsp;36&amp;nbsp;37&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;12&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;31&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;12&amp;nbsp;24&amp;nbsp;33&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;13&amp;nbsp;16&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;44&amp;nbsp;46&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;13&amp;nbsp;21&amp;nbsp;44&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;50&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;14&amp;nbsp;20&amp;nbsp;23&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;46&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;15&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;23&amp;nbsp;34&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;16&amp;nbsp;23&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;33&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;17&amp;nbsp;22&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;33&amp;nbsp;46&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;18&amp;nbsp;31&amp;nbsp;33&amp;nbsp;42&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;8&lt;br /&gt;22&amp;nbsp;25&amp;nbsp;31&amp;nbsp;32&amp;nbsp;47&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;6&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;22&amp;nbsp;29&amp;nbsp;34&amp;nbsp;41&amp;nbsp;44&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;7&lt;br /&gt;23&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;32&amp;nbsp;35&amp;nbsp;43&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;4&amp;nbsp;6&lt;br /&gt;24&amp;nbsp;28&amp;nbsp;34&amp;nbsp;39&amp;nbsp;42&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;7&amp;nbsp;8&lt;/p&gt;

Those folks at LotWin are damn clever.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was trying some new techniques for EuroMillions in the last few weeks and I came across something amazing. We all know by now that O.R. (Optimum Reduction) in LotWin is a masterpiece but have a look at this &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/cafe_lotwin.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;new video&lt;/a&gt; and you will be shocked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I start with over 100,000 lottery lines checked in the last 20 draws without 3 or 4 or 5 correct. After O.R. for just 2 correct they have 3 AND 4 AND 5 correct. Is there still anybody that&amp;nbsp;buys wheeling lottery software? If there is I can give them a good price on the Eiffel Tower.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way I came up with the number sets is &amp;#39;top secret&amp;#39;, at least for now. I was trying to ask the Team&amp;nbsp;to modify the program a little to accomodate it but I don&amp;#39;t think they are gonna do that soon as they are trying to get the One-Click function ready.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there is no need to despair. I spent plenty of hours on the number sets for this week&amp;#39;s $90,000,000 EuroMillions lottery draw and I&amp;#39;m nearly ready. Don&amp;#39;t forget to &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/lotto_syndicate.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;pickup&lt;/a&gt; your free lottery syndicate entries before Friday&amp;#39;s draw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Give me your comments but stay cool, calm and collected and don&amp;#39;t tell anybody!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LotWin Guru&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://lotwinguru.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=160" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/tags/LotWin+Guru/default.aspx">LotWin Guru</category><category domain="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/tags/lottery+software/default.aspx">lottery software</category><category domain="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/tags/EuroMillions/default.aspx">EuroMillions</category><category domain="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/tags/Optimum+Reduction/default.aspx">Optimum Reduction</category></item><item><title>Analysis of our lines and draw for the EuroMillions lottery 20th June 2008</title><link>http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/2008/06/21/analysis-of-our-lines-and-draw-for-the-euromillions-lottery-20th-june-2008.aspx</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:25:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">11da99d1-a057-410c-aea6-cb4b8c98b7e0:144</guid><dc:creator>lotwinguru</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Both our &amp;#39;locked filters&amp;#39;&amp;nbsp;came up&amp;nbsp;plus the number set of 6 numbers for the 2nd ball in the draw (blue background) having&amp;nbsp;all 5 numbers correct in just 97,512 lines (only 4.6% of all possible lottery combinations) for the EuroMillions draw ($68,000,000) of the 20th of June. We are using LotWin&amp;#39;s &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;lottery software&lt;/a&gt; in case you didn&amp;#39;t know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then I probably went a bit too far trying to halve this to 45,241 lines (2.135% of all lotto lines) by also adding a number set for the 1st ball.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can see the&amp;nbsp;filters and number sets &lt;a class="" href="http://lotwinguru.com/blogs/lottery/archive/2008/06/17/what-we-are-playing-in-euromillions-20th-june-2008-for-70-000-000.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(an asterisk &lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt; in front of the selection indicates a locked filter, which&amp;nbsp;means it has to come up).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We only had 1 of the bonus balls (3). My run on getting both bonus balls has dried up it seems. But I have to admit, due to other&amp;nbsp;engagements in&amp;nbsp;the last week or so, my meditation schedule&amp;nbsp;leaves a lot to be desired.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still the full set had 4 lines of 4+B&amp;nbsp;plus 1 line of 4, 266 lines of 3/3+B and 1,545 lines of 2+B. Even with only 4 correct and 1 bonus&amp;nbsp;the &amp;#39;Optimum Reduction Max Returns&amp;#39; didn&amp;#39;t let us down. It produced only 11 lines out of 45,241 with a win in line 8.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As there was no jackpot winner next week&amp;#39;s draw is estimated at $90,000,000. The more LotWin users we have the more lottery lines we&amp;#39;ll be playing (&lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/lotto_syndicate.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;for free as always&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the help of our beloved lottery software &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWIn&lt;/a&gt; Lottery Line Builder it is easy. I have done this for you for the UK National Lottery and here is the list of the best lines available sorted in order of number of wins:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="299" alt="Best UK lottery lines" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/bestuklines.jpg" width="402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In red you can see the total number of times each line has won a prize. In total this set is 66 lines and it had 1 jackpot, 3 lines of 5, 129 lines of 4 and 2,142 lines of 3 correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have another set of 123 lines that over the 1303 draws had:&lt;br /&gt;81 Jackpots&lt;br /&gt;49 lines with 5 correct&lt;br /&gt;268 lines with 4 correct and&lt;br /&gt;2,715 lines with 3 correct&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and here is how it starts:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="295" alt="UK best lotto lines 2" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/ukbestlines2.jpg" width="401" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can do this for any lottery. Why don&amp;#39;t you try it for you lottery and tell me if it works?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using lottery software par excellence &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin 2008 Lottery Line Builder&lt;/a&gt; (the version that you cannot have yet) I&amp;#39;m&amp;nbsp;NOT selecting consecutive 1-1-1-1-1 and I&amp;#39;m locking the following filters:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="324" alt="Consecutive filter" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/consecutive200608.jpg" width="575" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and Sum of Digits 1-1-1-1-1:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="329" alt="Sum Of Digits filter" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/sumofdigits200608.jpg" width="581" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any 2,3 or 4 correct filters:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="135" alt="" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/correctfilters200608.jpg" width="296" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A risky strategy will be picking&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;1st and 2nd ball correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1st Ball:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="411" alt="1st Ball" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/1stball200608.jpg" width="632" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2nd Ball:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="410" alt="2nd Ball" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/2ndball200608.jpg" width="631" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The overall picture looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="558" alt="All Filters" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/allfilters200608.jpg" width="722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, we are playing 2.1% of all the possible lines that&amp;nbsp;had a return of 4.4% of&amp;nbsp;all 5 correct&amp;nbsp;in the 227 EuroMillion draws. Just the bonus balls left and Optimum Reduction. It shouldn&amp;#39;t take long. &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/users/logon.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Login to your account&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;select your free set and good luck.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="245" alt="EuroMillion Filters 13 June 2008" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/filters130608.jpg" width="693" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Setting just 2-3 correct reduced the lines to one third of the total:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="267" alt="Pass filters 13 June 2008" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/correct130608.jpg" width="481" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then I had to pick some numbers so I can reduce the number of lines to cover the number of LotWin users that take part in the free syndicate. I don&amp;#39;t need to mention again that as I promised I will&amp;nbsp;create enough free entries to cover anyone that wants to participate. The more of you that&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/lotto_syndicate.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;pick up&amp;nbsp;your free entries&lt;/a&gt; the more entries we will have to play with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 2 numbers that I did not pick and came up were: 13 (on Friday the 13th) and 37. The bonus number that I did not pick was 9 as it had come up on the last draw but I was almost certain for 1 coming up and I combined it with 4, 6 and 7. These will be good candidates for the next draws.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But LotWin didn&amp;#39;t let us down. With just 3 correct numbers and 794,000 lines to start with, combined with 2-3 correct filter categories &amp;nbsp;produced an &amp;#39;Optimum Reduction&amp;#39; for 2 correct (Max Returns) of &lt;strong&gt;just 9 lines&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;second (2nd) line&lt;/strong&gt; in order of coverage (68.21%) had 2 correct numbers and the bonus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="320" alt="Reduced Guarantee 13 June 2008" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/rg130608.jpg" width="322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Those&amp;nbsp;of you that had chosen the first&amp;nbsp;set&amp;nbsp;will see it in your entries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below&amp;nbsp;are some of the filters that I considered but didn&amp;#39;t pick repeated (blue) for a fourth (4th) time:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="301" alt="Prime Numbers" src="http://lotwinguru.com/pics/primenumbers130608.jpg" width="578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next week the jackpot for Euromillions is $65,000,000 - $70,000,000 so do forget &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/lottery/lotto_syndicate.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;your free entries&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was thinking; maybe I can replace free lottery entries with free Italian Pizza from Tesco... Now, the odds of guessing next week&amp;#39;s price are about ... and, do they have rollovers or do they split the pizza with the second category winners?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This might seem a valid question to the average player at first glance but the average user cannot understand the difference of LotWin compared to any other lottery program. So I thought I will enlighten them (Guru, enlightenment, get it?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most lottery programs use a process called wheeling of which there&amp;nbsp; are many types that I will not go into details (full wheel, abbreviated, open…). That is if you select a group of numbers there is a subset of lines that will give you a certain guarantee of x correct if your numbers are correct in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example if I was to select 20 numbers in a 6 ball lottery there is a subset of 10 lines that will guarantee 3 correct. The 10 lines are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;01 02 04 06 10 19&lt;br /&gt;01 02 10 12 16 19&lt;br /&gt;01 04 06 10 12 16&lt;br /&gt;02 04 06 12 16 19&lt;br /&gt;03 05 07 13 15 20&lt;br /&gt;03 05 08 09 11 17&lt;br /&gt;03 05 13 14 15 18&lt;br /&gt;07 08 11 14 18 20&lt;br /&gt;07 09 14 17 18 20&lt;br /&gt;08 09 11 13 15 17&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you had selected 20 numbers from 1-20 the lines above are the ones that will give that guarantee. If your numbers are not from 1 to 20 you can use the above as a template and replace the numbers with yours. For example if you had selected 1, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22, 25, 26, 29, 32, 36, 39, 42, 44, 45, 47, 49 the first line above would become:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;01 05 08 14 25 47 &lt;br /&gt;and so on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These wheels have been developed over long periods of time mostly by hand, you can find them over the Internet and books have been written about them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lot of people have written lottery software by taking these wheels and hard-coding those in to their software so when you enter your selected numbers they will immediately give you the subset that corresponds to your chosen numbers and the guarantee that you have asked for. There is nothing wrong with buying their software if this is what you are looking for and paying $50-$100 as long as you understand what you are getting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When LotWin appeared on the Internet, 10 years ago, all these companies looked at the LotWin filters and they thought “This looks good, we can also add filters on our software” and they did.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was a serious mistake and I’m not sure that their users understand what the serious flaw in this process is. If we take the above set of 10 lines and then select Odd-Even filters of 2-4, 3-3 and 4-2 we end up with these lines:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;01 02 04 06 10 19&lt;br /&gt;01 02 10 12 16 19&lt;br /&gt;03 05 13 14 15 18&lt;br /&gt;07 08 11 14 18 20&lt;br /&gt;07 09 14 17 18 20&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You would think, “that’s great, I’ve reduced my outlay by 50%.and if this filter appears I’m guaranteed that I will have at least 3 correct”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wrong!!!&lt;/strong&gt; You only have a 75% or less chance of 3 correct even if the filters you have selected do come up. For example take the line 3 4 9 12 15 16 that has 3 Odd 3 Even. As you can see this and many other lines don’t have 3 correct.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you still want to add filters to wheels? How happy are you now with your investment in that wheeling program that has all these filters that look similar to the ones in LotWin? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thankfully for us LotWin does not work like that and the reason is because the LotWin team&amp;nbsp;developed the algorithms needed to go through all the possible lines in seconds and select only the ones that fit your criteria. Once you are happy with your filters you can use the Standard or Optimum reductions with the myriad of options they have to come up with a subset of lines that will guarantee what you have asked for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is basically the concept of real-time reductions I was referring to in a previous post. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion the price of &lt;a class="" href="http://www.lotwin.com/agents/clicks.aspx?lotwin" target="_blank"&gt;LotWin&lt;/a&gt; is extremely low for what it does. After my failed attempt to acquire the company for a healthy six figure sum I tried to persuade them to increase their prices as I would have done. The outright-purchase version should be at least $2,000 as it includes all updates for ever. They said they will think about it. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They wouldn&amp;#39;t go in to much details but I managed to get a short video for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have a look and tell me what you think.&lt;/p&gt;
