The very basic idea is to look at the chart for the date you are playing. For example, today is the 10th of September, so I'd look at the numbers which have fallen in the past on September 10th as follows:
Thursday September 10th
001 028 045 049 096 098 148 239 278 321 347 393 394 397 417 434 450 462 500 538 553 570 580 604 616 618 626 658 667 671 685 702 740 744 791 825 835 855 904 912 929 947 973 979
Hmm... that's a lot of numbers, way too many to play all the time, right?
So, here is what I do. What I noticed in Virginia is that straight Date workup hits tend to fall in pairs. Just now, I did the work to see if the same is true in the Florida numbers. What I did was make a chart that shows all the straight Date workup hits for Florida for this year (2020). Here is the chart:
01/06/2020,307,587 01/06/1990,XXX,587
01/08/2020,368,898 01/08/2012,088,368
01/17/2020,935,444 01/17/2013,444,672
01/25/2020,841,910 01/25/2000,XXX,910
02/12/2020,665,643 02/12/2003,XXX,665
03/15/2020,761,196 03/15/1997,XXX,761
03/25/2020,604,368 03/25/2019,368,266
03/31/2020,623,548 03/31/2018,681,623
04/01/2020,346,797 04/01/2014,556,797
06/30/2020,667,589 06/30/1999,XXX,667
07/18/2020,265,396 07/18/2019,265,742
08/08/2020,147,453 08/08/2006,XXX,147
08/11/2020,855,747 08/11/2013,011,747
09/07/2020,077,080 09/08/2016,011,478
Look very carefully at the dates on these straight Date workup hits. On three occasions this year, straight Date workup hits have fallen within a couple days of each other, sometimes even the next day. Woo Hoo! Call me an optimist, but I think that is a handy thing to know! So, to truthfully answer your question, what I do in Virginia (and it appears to work the same way in the 2020 Florida data) is to wait for a straight Date workup hit, then I play the Date numbers the next day and the second day after the first straight Date workup hit. Then I stop. That same method would have produced three straight hits in Florida this year. It wouldn't have made you rich, but it would have kicked out three straight hits and stopped you from chasing a lot of other numbers.
That's it. That's everything I know.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask all the questions you want. I'll try to monitor this thread for questions.
Thanks for asking!
