A truly evocative title for any Lottery Book! Can it be really true that anyone at all can predict future lottery numbers? This book is unlike any other lottery book – it doesn't claim to predict actual numbers but examines different types of numbers and their statistical frequency. These types include odds/evens/prime/Fibonacci/etc. Many other valuable aspects are fully examined and the priceless lessons learned come out as invaluable guidance.

LIFE IS A GAME,
By
This review is from: Lottery Numbers (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much and read it in about 2.5 hours. Written by a programmer-mathematician, I learned how to improve the odds of winning by using a well-tested checklist which helps you reduce & eliminate silly mistakes and redundancies when creating your number sets. I'm using this book as a foundation because I also realize that intuition and developing your own gaming style is also a part of winning, as well as other variables. And one of the biggest challenges is keeping organized. Simplicity works best. I generally create my draws, check them, fill out a lottery number form, check it, then submit it. My gaming style, to date, includes numerous ways of generating draws and I've won small pots from working a mathematical approach, using Quick Picks, and following my hunches which led me to picking 4 out 6 numbers once. Besides winning money, playing the lottery is fun if you want to improve your math skills. I don't play more than $2-$4 a week (sometimes less, or on occasions, a bit more). Sometimes I get pools started.

Brilliant,honest book and easy to understand.,
By Dennis (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lottery Numbers (Paperback)
Sick of the hype of lottery systems for sale but still want something that works? Do you want a system that is based on scientific fact but is also easy to use and understand? Then this is the book for you. I love this book! I spoke to the author on the phone and he exudes honesty and sincerety. Also his software is so easy to use. It does all the figuring of his scientific system that is based on statistics. Though the book is a must! So you can understand the system. And you can choose your numbers from the easy instructions in the book. You dont have to have the software. You owe it to yourself to buy this book, if you buy lottery tickets.

A big disappointment. Mathematically flawed.,

This review is from: Lottery Numbers (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in this book. The author analyzes each draw in 1 year's worth of data (52 samples) based on different properties of numbers. For example, in how many of those draws are all numbers even? How many have 5 of the 6 even? How many have 4 of the 6 even? etc. He then creates a histogram of the results and draws conclusions. "Well, gee, in this sample of 52 occurrences (1 year's worth of draws), NONE of them were all even, and only one of them were all odd! That means that you should NEVER choose lottery numbers that are all even or all odd!" He then "confirms" this rule on a different set of 52 draws.
But that is a FALSE conclusion. What the author doesn't tell you is that a sample size of 104 (52 + 52) is TOO SMALL to make these kinds of conclusions when there are 13,983,816 possible combinations. 104 samples (assuming all 104 are unique) represents only 0.0007437 of 1% of all the possible combinations, or about 7 ten thousandths of 1%. Let's take his rule regarding numbers divisible by 4 (i.e., 4, 8, 12, 16, ... 48). He says, "WHEN CHOOSING A FUTURE LINE OF LOTTERY NUMBERS ENSURE THAT 5 OR 6 OF THEM ARE NOT EXACTLY DIVISIBLE BY 4." (His capitalization) He makes this conclusion after analyzing his 104 samples and finding that none of them had 5 or all 6 of the numbers divisible by 4. What the author doesn't tell you is that there are only 924 combinations with all 6 numbers divisible by 4 -- only .0066076 of 1% of all possible combinations, or less than 7 thousandths of 1%. His sample size is simply too small to "catch" any of these combinations. It's perfectly reasonable (and actually expected) that none of these 924 combinations would appear in a sample size of only 104. Assuming a fair game, all combinations of 6 numbers are equally probable. What the author has done is: 1. artificially extract some number of the possible combinations based on properties of the numbers (divisible by 2, 3, 4, etc., all prime numbers, all fibonacci numbers...) 2. fail to tell you how few of those combinations there actually are in the set 3. use a sample size too small 4. then conclude "don't choose number sets like these because they don't occur!" If the author is a statistician as he claims, he is being, at best, disingenuous in concluding that his flawed experiments actually produce valid rules for choosing lottery numbers.
