Members hit 4/5 in NY Take 5, MegaMillions
Tonight, two LuckSmith members had PowerPicks matching 4 out of the 5 winning numbers in New York's Take 5, and the MegaMillions multi-state game.
For NY Take 5, the predicted PowerSet for 3/7/2006 had 30 numbers. All 5 winning numbers were in it, and one LuckSmith member had a 4/5 winning PowerPick. 5 PowerPicks matched 3/5 numbers, and 17 matched 2/5. LuckSmith generated a total of 150 PowerPicks for the 3/7/2006 drawing.
In MegaMillions, 1 member hit 4/5 without the bonus, and another hit 3/5 without the bonus. (The PowerSet for 3/7/2006 contained all 5 winning numbers, but missed the bonus number.) 521 picks were generated for tonight's drawing. Studying the the MegaMillions number matrix, basic probability says the most expected hits from a total of 521 picks would be a 2+1 winner, or 2 matches plus matching the bonus number. We had 47 PowerPicks matching 2/5 numbers, and although this doesn't win any cash prize, it shows our system clearly bests the standard playing odds. (See LuckSmith's prediction stats for more details.) If we'd only hit the Money Ball too!
We're frustrated with the accuracy recently on MegaMillions, and are recalibrating the PowerSet engine to get back into the 70-80% range we like to see.
We're hoping our Powerset for tomorrow night's Powerball drawing does well. It contains 44 of the 55 possible numbers, which nets 4/5 on average, but we're due to match all 5 again here soon. The Bonus Powerball set contains 27 of the 42 possible numbers, which gives it a good chance of hitting that as well.
Congratulations to the lucky winners, and good luck to everyone in tomorrow's drawings!
