I don't actually play the lottery, it's just fun to run wheels and check
them against draw histories.




It's okay to play the lottery. What if your wheel hits, but you never
bet any money on it?? You're gonna feel bad forever. Which games
do you usually wheel?? 6 number games with 42 numbers???
just curious

Well, I'm living on a pension and so I have to budget my spending. Adding to
the $$ burden is the reality of living with ALS (Lou Gehrig's), which has
unbelievable financial burdens attached. I just monitor/track our (Canada's)
2 national lotteries to see how the wheeling algorithms fair after each draw.
The '6/49' (Lotto649) happens Wed/Sat and the 7/49 (LottoMax) happens on Fri.

Did you check John Coleman's offering for generating numbers from a chosen
list? Might be good way to do 'selective' Quick Picks as an alternative to
wheeling. My app's Quick Picks select from all 49 nums same as the lotto
terminals do. John's function might be worth adding (with some modification)
to my app as an 'extra' feature in the wheeling section.

Well.., I see that this nor John's 2nd offering addresses the
'selective' Quick Pick issue. Not sure, though, if it's how you want to
index your combos...
