RJOh = Hey, I ran across an old thread (closed), but I've been working on Texas Lotto for 2 years now. I have found out some facts. You said you wanted some help, well, I can help. I won just short of $20K in 2014 on Daily 4, and after having worked on figuring out winners vs. losers on Scratch Offs, it led me to some valuable evidence. G-Tech is the company that works for Texas Lottery and I had a couple of discussions with a Rep while getting my checks at the Lotto Headquarters. For the 'drawings', I am totally convinced that these drawings appear to be random, but are not. To find the winning numbers, there are 3 items to 'work' and research. I am far from an expert, but I DO know this info to be fact. And, yes, someone mentioned the DATE as playing a key role and it does, in fact, play a significant role in Daily 4 and Pick 3. I sorta let my Scratch Off info bleed over into the drawings and I'm STILL trying to get that one bit of vital info, but I have uncovered some very useful info - hoping that now, together, we can all come up with something and I have some crucial info to add. This is over 2 years and I'd hate to say how many hours I've spent on this.
I realized that 'random' cannot be totally random due to the fact that the Scratchers guarantee X amount of winners. So, SOME system is at work. The date is just one of the keys. Two others can be found on the ticket 1. Under the amount of, say a Daily 4 ticket, is a 4-digit number, I'll use an example from yesterday, Feb 2, 2015 (02-02-2015) Under the ticket $ amount is the #5476. The DRAW number. This is a key number as an identifier. Another is in the line of numbers at bottom above bar code, 9164 - nine more digits - then 6 more digits. To the FAR LEFT, is an important number, a 6-digit number, yesterday was this number: 018711. To the FAR RIGHT, the other 6-digit number 133821. For now, and because this will take some time, focus on the number under the $ amount, the DRAW number #5476. This was for the night draw, and this number changes by +1 each drawing for Daily 4 (morning will be 5477).
Forget wheels, hot numbers, all that. The most important item is WHERE YOU START in adding double digits to come up with what we hope to be winning numbers. Remember - I'm still working this out, but have enough info to have solidified the 'true value' of the digits used by G-Tech in the Lottery drawings. This is what I know (and you will see, it is correct - the starting point and DIRECTION of adding numbers changes with each drawing for M-D-E-N. As a rule, Morn-Eve is added L > R and Day - Night is added R > L. Most important is the real value of these digits. After, god, thousands of hours, here is what I know for values.
0's have a value (discuss this later)
1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, now the changes (this is done to keep as many single digits as possible, instead of double digits)
6=5, 7=0 (or can equal 1 or 3 if beside another 7), 8=3, and 9=4. So, if you had two numbers, 8+5, instead of 13, you would get 3+5 = 8, for instance.
The Night winning number was 4-9-6-2, I barely missed with 9-6-7-2 (dammit) but that's how it goes. To keep this from becoming a textbook, I'll just give a summation of the 4-digit importance in the winning number. Take 5-4 and 7-6 and remember, going from last number R > L.
6 (remember 6=5) + 7 (0) +4 = 5+4=9. And, 9s are 4's. First number 4. Since a '0' was used, repeat the 4 to 4+5 =9 *Now, since the earlier 9 has been reduced to real value, the 4+5 WILL = 9, and this gives us first two numbers, 4-9. So now what? Reverse, except in doing so, add +1 to digits for reverse. Now, 6+5 = 11, and we need a ONE digit number, so 1+1 = 2. Yes, it's the last number, but it is one of the four winners. Then, on to 8+7 =15. Still need a single digit, so 1+5 = 6. The real values affect original numbers, so the 8+7 'can be' 15 or 1+5 =6. (Another way, which will discuss later is the fact that two 7's were side by side from changes, but that's for later. The '6' now gives us - 4-9-2-6, and winning number was 4-9-6-2.
Now, there is more ways to check on THESE numbers using the other number sets, but I don't want to lose your interest here, so I'll end with this. I made a mistake (trying to hurry) and missed by one number. It's so easy to get confused, so paper-pen is a necessity. This is just one of the items I've found and yes, the other numbers are also indicators, director numbers and can be used to validate and I'll show this tomorrow. Tired as hell right now.
And, to those who are wondering "Do you win all the time?" NO, I don't - this is due to the fact that it's my belief that the directions of adding the digits may switch on odd-even days, and this could be tracked with good record keeping. I simply run out of time and energy. I have seen where the 4-digits are exactly the same as the winning numbers for Daily 4. Not often, but sometimes. Of course, there is not a plug-and-play method here, it's a process and ask yourself "Why are those numbers there?" HMM? For a reason. Once I show you the 6-digit outer numbers along with the 4-digit 91xx number, you will see how you can win some of these just by applying the real values (which I discovered on Scratch-Off tix) and how to work the process (when to change to real value and when it's already been done), thus adding a double-digit where applicable.
I hope to get some help here and I hope my info sheds some light on some of you more mathematically astute - I think outside the box and have figured out that the reason for 4-digit 'director' numbers has to do with the 4 drawings during the day. I also believe that these numbers are mechanically SET and the balls coming out of a box is, well, 'iffy' - but that is my guess - hey, if I can win and sometimes get 3 or 4 on a regular basis? Then SOMETHING is going on. I welcome any and all input-comments as I believe we are all trying to achieve the same goals here. Back tomorrow and check out some of your older tix - you'll find some very interesting info if you apply the above.
