CEASE PLAY

Monday, Feb 24, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: On page 3 of the lottoreport are statistics involving the pick 3 game.

In the Night game after 2922 draws the position of the digits is remarkably similar after 9 years. The first digit 2 and 3 have arrived the exact amount of times at 281 and the first digit 4 and 5 have arrived the exact amount of times at 275. The first digit 8 and first digit 9 have arrived 299 times and 298 times respectively.

In the second position, the middle digit 3 has occurred 301 times and the middle digit 2 has arrived 300 times. In the last or third position, the digit 2 has arrived 288 times and the digit 9 in that position 289 times. This staggering amount of what I call symmetry implies the game is very fair. That is good for my methodology.

This statistic also infers that numbers are not hot or cold as the same digits occur over time as a random occurrence would expect.

For example, the total amount that seven has been drawn is 969 times and the total amount of times nine has been drawn is 967 times and that is over nine years!!! I call this to your attention because I may have a play for everyone using this kind of indicator (placement of digits) this week. Thanks for reading lottoreport.com. Don

Friday, Feb 21, 2003 - From Jeff - 2:45 PM - Well, as you all know the number 43 came in last night and I did have it. I only wish 431 had been one of my favorites so it would have been easier for your readers to win too, but the number "1" just didn't stand out as much as the 7 and 8 did. Hopefully, some of the readers had it. As always, cease play after the number has come in. I will try in the future to give you and your readers 3 numbers, but as you know, sometimes that is hard to predict. Again cease play and good Luck To All. Jeff

From Dawn - 10 AM - Well, Congratulations to those of you who won on Jeff's prediction! Jeff said, "I expect an outcome to have these two digits 43, 67, or 55 in them starting February 18th for the night draw only!! These numbers are only good for 4 days but hopefully it won't take that long." And, 431 was drawn on Feb 20th - too bad it wan't one of his favorites - huh!

I have not heard from Jeff so I don't know how to advise you on his play. In Don's case, I know what he's looking for and when to call for a "cease play" (most of the time) but in Jeff's case, I don't know his methodologies so I can't advise you. I've waited as long as I can to post a message from him so ya'll would know what to do. Sorry for not being more specific but what can I say?

When I hear from Jeff, I will post his message. Until then, I'd suggest to cease play because one of his pairs came in.

Thursday, Feb 20, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: I enjoy hearing from the readers about their successes, ideas, and of course wins. Today, I would like to talk a little about odds. Odds are an essential part of both winning and losing. In the pick 3 game, the odds are very bad for the player.

Tuesday, Feb 18, 2003 - 2 messages posted. One from Don and a prediction from Jeff.
From Don - To the lottoreport.com: In today's column I would like to talk about risk and the TLC. Provided at this web-site are detailed records about pick 3 sales and money paid to "winners". However, in total sales versus winnings there is a discrepancy of $111 million dollars for less than one years time. That's how much players LOST.

We know during that time that the TLC established 2 pick 3 games. I can offer thoughts on why they went to 2 draws but the main idea is that they want to get all of your money. They won't settle for anything less. They also want to minimize any even small risk to them. When does the pick 3 game have risk to the house you may ask. When everyone is playing the same numbers.

From Jeff: Here's my 3rd prediction that hopefully you can post to your readers. If my calculations are correct, I expect an outcome to have these two digits 43, 67, or 55 in them starting February 18th for the night draw only!! These numbers are only good for 4 days but hopefully it won't take that long.

My favorite numbers are 437, 438, 667, 367, 558, 455. Good Luck and Let's Win Some Money!! Jeff

Monday, Feb 17, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: While I am studying the best strategy to provide another outstanding play, I hope you are NOT playing the game right now. It's just too tough a game to play unless opportunity is present. I wanted to take a moment to tell all of you I enjoy hearing your success stories and comments and in some cases, about related web-sites. Your e-mails are insightful, encouraging, and motivational. That is the ultimate goal of this column-to provide YOU a winner. Keep reading lottoreport.com. Don

Updates Below Original Play

Friday, Feb 14, 2003 - Concluding Remarks For Cease Play - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: What you have witnessed is, of course, impossible. That is why the pick 3 game exists, the lottery is absolutely positive that a correct winning outcome cannot be forecast in advance using statistics.

They know that each drawing is an independent event and has no relation to past outcomes. I wonder how they explain it!

CEASE PLAY - Feb 13, 2003 - From Dawn - After the night draw (10:40 PM) YEAH - 775 came in and I won!!!! As you know, 775 was drawn tonight and it was one of Don's favorites that was posted on 2-10-03. Congratulations to those of you who won - unfortunately, right now I don't have time to answer your emails but both Don and I appreciate your kinds words. I love to see ya'll win! I'll post a message from Don tomorrow when I get it.

Original Play - Starts Monday, Feb 10, 2003 & Came in Feb 13, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: I hope all of you will continue to read my column and pay attention for different kinds of activity involving the pick 3 game.

Some of my favorite numbers that contain 77, 59 or 68 are 775, 557, 599, 777, 559, 568. When I say these are my favorites, that means I have other criteria that identifies these numbers as prominent. Yet, I do not have any conclusive statistics that conclude ANY number with 77 and 59 and 68 are superior to another number. Obviously, 777 pays the most so that is my number one choice. Thanks for reading lottoreport.com and say tuned for updates. Don

Update - Thursday, Feb 13, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: The occurrence of a double digit albeit not the particular one I was looking for DOES bode well for the next 3 days of play if there should be 3 more days. So although I was hoping for OUR double digit I am still recommending you continue to play numbers with 77, 59, or 68 in them.

Update - Wednesday, Feb 12, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: After 2 nights of play, one of the projected outcomes did not arrive.

For some, 2 days of playing the pick 3 game is very normal as I have heard some people play the game during the day and at night.

For me, 2 days of play just in the night draw is an eternity and although I know the odds very well, I just hate to lose at this game and endeavor to give players a great play at the earliest possible date. I recommend you continue to play the selections presented on Feb 10. Don

Update - Tuesday, Feb 11, 2003 - From Don - To the lottoreport.com: The first night's outcome was not what I favored.

As you know, I favored a number with a 77 or 59 or 68 IN the number and all but one of my favorites were double digits.

Be cognizant of the fact that a double digit only occurs 28% of the time, thus picking the double digit on the correct day is the most difficult task possible in the pick 3 game. However, it is also very rewarding.

I recommend to continue playing numbers that have a 77, 59 or 68 in them. Keep reading lottoreport.com for great lottery news. Don
