Lottery Game Format Changes Require New Data Files from Scratch

Posted on September 08, 2000.

In Reply to: Ohio Lottery changed from a pool of 47 lotto numbers to one of 49 posted by Josh on September 05, 2000.

: Hello everyone! I'm kind of a beginner at Lottery Analysis but I find it very interesting so excuse me for asking such a simple question. I keep an eye on the statistics for the Ohio Lottery but they changed from a pool of 47 numbers to one of 49 in July of this year. I had a large history for the Ohio Lottery and was wondering if I can only use the newer drawings where the drawings were from the 49 numbers or if I should use the whole history? Any help would be appreciated.

: Thanks,

• Do NOT mix different game formats in the same results file! Start a new data file if the game format changes (e.g. from '5 of 53' + '1 of 40', or from 5/55/1/42, etc.) If the lottery commission changes the game format, you must create a new lotto/lottery data file! Do not mix game formats in one data file! For example, Pennsylvania Lottery Commission changed from a lotto 6/69 game to lotto 6/49. I discarded of all previous lotto 6/69 drawings. I renamed the old 6/69 file and preserved it for archiving and researching purposes. I started from scratch a Pennsylvania lotto 6/49 history file. I recreated also the SIMulated data file, specifically for a 6/49 lotto game. Please pay attention to this special requirement of SuperPower, LotWon (command prompt), and MDIEditor And Lotto WE lottery software. More than a tip — it is a requirement: Do not mix various game formats in the same data file — ever!

Do NOT mix data files for lotto games with different formats, ever! The probabilities are different, everything will be different. You must also change the SIMulated data file as well. You work now only with a data file for the 49-number lotto game. Generate also some 4000 simulated drawings for a 6/49 game. That's it. Title: "Lottery Format Changes, Results Files, Ohio Lotto".
