Maths theory bags lotto jackpot October 25, 2006 12:07pm MOST of us believe winning lotto is down to the luck of the draw. But a syndicate of university professors and tutors in Britain thought it could also be related to the principles of mathematical probability. And their theory was spectacularly vindicated this week when they matched all six numbers and scooped the $13 million lotto jackpot. The syndicate, made up of 17 staff members at Bradford University and College, bagged the big prize by using two boxes, 49 pieces of paper and a large amount of brainpower. But it was far from an overnight success. Syndicate leader Barry Waterhouse, 41, who works at the design and printing section of the university, explained that the syndicate had been doing the National Lottery for eight years without conspicuous success after it started in 1994 with each member picking his or her own line. "We just weren't winning with the numbers being picked that way, so we thought of a different method which would mean all 49 numbers would be used,' Mr Waterhouse said. The syndicate then set up a computer program to check the numbers every week. It took four years and a total outlay of $8700, but on Saturday, the formula succeeded. Matching the winning numbers and the bonus ball, they hit the jackpot. "We just thought that if all the numbers are in use, we must have a good chance of winning and it has proved so, though you never really think it will happen to you, "Mr Waterhouse said. Fellow syndicate member David Firth, 63, said: "We have won tenners and the odd 70 quid in the past, but now this is the big one." [...]

Atwood Lottery System

William Atwood has written a very exciting book using the latest data on lottery research. Usually, lotto books will use various formulas based on personal opinion and personal bias. Many other lotto books use mystical thinking as a substitute for genuine mathematical reasoning. Atwood uses mathematical reasoning to show step by step how the lottery system is designed and how the quick pick is designed to deliberately create a false probability relationship and that the quick picks tend to be mathematical illusionary because of the lack of numeric understanding of the total numbers at play in a given game. Atwood major problem is that the number of systems needed to play at optimal level is never revealed and consequently you are not sure of the number of systems to be played to increase the winning sequence. Atwook refutes the chaos theorist who believe that the game cannot be broken due to the random numbers given at a single drawing. However, Atwoods analysis is state of the art and will give you a very honest understanding of the nature of the lotto games. Can he guarantee that you will win? This is a question that supercomputer can probably answer in the near future.
