I keep a daily record of my picks, as well as a daily set of randomly picked numbers. I compare my actual system wins vs the random #'s and as long as the system picks outperform the random picks over the long haul, I know I and my system are doing well.
Give someone a fish and feed them for a day. Teach them to use the internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Lately, my 'system' dictates a small pool of numbers, and I have noticed that a lot of the numbers I come up with today are the numbers that hit 3-4 draws ago - and I come up with these numbers NOT LOOKING AT what hit 3-4 draws ago until AFTER I have come up with my pool.
Somehow I need to get it advanced, I have missed on all five WB's hitting 4 or 5 times by a week or two.
I don't pull 'numbers' - I look at when the last time a number hit, and what hit yesterday, and if I calculate a number should hit that has not hit in 12 games, then I play it. I know I am 'close' if a number that has not hit in 11 or 13 games hits.
You can have the greatest system in the world, but you need the luck of hitting ALL NUMBERS, having a system that gets you 1 or 2 numbers consistently is good, but not good enough.

The word luck is only used because most folks don't have the information needed to win. There is a reason for everything that happens and just because we don't understand it makes it look like "Luck".
Surely ping pong balls don't have a brain, but that's irrelevant. I hear so many folks say that. I don't care If they have a brain or not, what I care about is how they behave whether they like it or not. Observing behavior has nothing to do with whether the object can think or not. I along with the multitudes of folks out there don't have the knowledge or brainpower to beat the system 95% of the time, but that doesn't mean a system that is changing and very complex which can beat the system doesn't exist.
Here's a raw example:
If we could travel back in time to caveman days and bring a car with us with the keys on the front seat, eventually the caveman will toy around with it until he realizes he has to turn the key in the ignition. His caveman buddy may tell him ( in caveman language) that since it took him a year to realize thow to start the car, it was just luck. But in fact, there was systematic way of starting the car, and the caveman was simply ignorant of that fact.
Just like the caveman, we are all ignorant of the very complex system that is needed to beat a chaotic environment such as the Pick 3, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a systematic way to beat it.
Everything in life is an illusion, and that includes perception...
You compare a random draw with figuring out how to start a car?
You are completely out of your mind.
Now, if we had the SAME five numbers to work with: that MIGHT lead to some common deductions, more along the line of 'what is due', but I am willing to bet most folks on here (or in the real world) do NOT CONSISTENTLY get even two of the white balls 'every time'.
If someone DOES get all six numbers, it will be an act of deduction AND and act of 'luck'.
If you play the same set of numbers ALL of your life, there is a chance you can win, but good lord man, do you not understand why they lay odds of 1 in 200 MILLION?
I have possibly the best system out there, but even at that I simply refuse to pay what it takes to win, because 1) It's about $300/draw, and 2) NOTHING is perfect. My system will hit, but I cannot tell you WHEN it will hit, but I can tell you I do VERY WELL at Keno with my system, and it also applies to PB, but there is a huge difference in being able to play 20 games of Keno in an hour vs. 4 games of PB a week (2 per draw).
Folks keep forgetting, the best minds in the world have tried to crack the Lottery, and none have.

Not yet, guesser, but someone will one day.
You had some good ideas back in the day. I am using one now and find it to be extremely useful. I think you quit too soon. Go back to what you were doing and ask yourself this: "What can I possibly create to move closer to my goal?"

Good luck and happy hunting.
I never quit playing, I've always played, I just avoided coming here, for the most part.
Folks win the lotteries all the time, most with no 'system' aside from a quick pick, that should tell SOME of the folks here that LUCK, yes, LUCK - has a lot to do with it. But noooooooooooooo, some folks INSIST luck has nothing to do with it....

Constant testing against future draws, noting whatever appears to be showing promise and attempting to identify why, making minor revisions, more testing against future draws ad infinitum. Avoiding the daily race against 'tonight' by resisting the temptation to buy tickets, thereby hopefully maintaining objectivity and circumventing bursts of premature conclusions.
I don't have a particular 'system', though what I'm attempting to do might someday emerge into something resembling one without having intended to. Probably the willingness to 'try anything' and keeping the common denominator imposed by what I [think I] already know as low as possible provides me with the best means of assessing whether my 'system' is improving.
The 'system' disintegrates gradually as my certainties rigidify and I drift toward already knowing too much. Seems to happen concurrently with premature conclusions and locking my teeth into flawed premises to be chased regardless of evidence to the contrary.

There is nooo way to possibly know when your system is getting hot. Its all in the mind!! There are too many variable at play. Trust me I track pretty much all of them and have even created my own way of tracking but numbers fluctuate and are forever changing. That doesnt mean I cant hit, it just means I dont when the numbers are coming OUT (the sooner the better) and that is the Most Important Variable.

Apparently from some of these responses there are players who only think they have a system when actually they have a fancy way to pick combinations randomly which is called a QP when done by a lottery terminal. Random doesn't change with time getting better or worst, it just stays random.

As far as number selection goes you're right.
The only legitimate "system" is one that raises your odds when something happens, like a key number wheel, with filters or something.
So like 2 key numbers, and the filter says out of the remaining 3 they have to have 3 odds. Something like that can drasically pretty much give you a JP win, if you get your key numbers and conditions right, which makes it just as much of a gamble.
I need some filtering software so I can take a look at this. Last time I was thinking of playing my key wheel, I hesitated and got my 2 key numbers right and didn't play. Probably would have hit at least 1 4 of 5 that night.

If you're using a wheeling system, you don't need filtering software to know if it would have worked. Just plug in your numbers and compare its combinations with the drawing results.

True, although I was thinking of filtering as if it was a 3/38 and keying the two other numbers. I don't know whether you'd call that a wheel..... I guess it's not.
The thing is I don't know it it'd work because I only picked my key numbers. I'm saying chances were I would have gotten something considered the wheel I was going to use uses 10 additional numbers. I guess I could have gotten them all the numbers wrong though.
