Better Odds - That's a Fact!

        If you had read the lottery tips and thinking about applying them in your next lottery ticket purchase you are doing the right thing. However, don't expect to win the Jackpot. Not right away at least. Let's look at a simple 10 drawings scenario. If you applied tip #1 (Odd-Even) by probability only 6-7 drawings out of 10 will contain 2/3 or 3/2 odd/even ratio. As the result, drawings #8, #9, and #10 will have either 4 odd or 4 even numbers. Now, according to the probability of tip #2 (the Sum) about two drawings will add up to a sum either smaller than 70 or larger than 130. It could be drawings #6 and #7. As you can see, only 50% of the drawings will have numbers that would comply with tips #1 and #2. As you apply more tips this number will get smaller and smaller. The key is to keep playing and winning smaller prizes. Luck can stop by your door anytime.

        Take 5 lottery has 575,757 different combinations of numbers. Even if you apply all tips and strategies you might still have 100,000 combinations to choose from. The odds of hitting 3 out of 5 are 1:109. Even if all 3 out 5 combinations are in that 100,000 and not in 475,000 you had dismissed (which is not possible, if you think about it), there are still 95,000 of number combinations that are not winners. When you choose from such a large pool it is very easy to miss all winning combinations. This is why our team created a program that let's you select number combinations from a much smaller pool but yet keeping or even improving the odds for this loterry game.

        Our program predicts future drawing numbers using 3 slightly different methods. You can choose either method or use all 3, it's up to you. We had tested our program for a full year - from June 4, 2006 to June 3, 2007. Total 14,357 tickets purchased in 364 drawings by Method #1, 14,271 tickets by Method #2, and 16,138 by Method #3. Below is the table of odds.

	Method #1	Method #2	Method #3	Official Take 5 odds
3 out of 5	1:96	1:110	1:99	1:109
4 out of 5	1:2,871	1:2,038	1:3,227	1:3,489
5 out of 5	N/A	1:14,271	N/A	1:575,757

As you can see, the overall odds are much better, just look at Method #2 where we actually hit the Jackpot. And the odds to win the Second Prize are almost twice as much! Each method produces from 36 to 47 number combinations that you can choose from, each of which has from 1 to 10 winning combinations. Feeling lucky? Now, using the results displayed on Daily Predictions page, you don't have to choose numbers from a very large pool of possible combinations.

By the way, we didn't include odds for 2 out of 5 on purpose because it doesn't win you money - you get a free ticket instead. But for the record, the odds are approximately 1:8 versus 1:11 Take 5 official odds.
