You can win the lottery - you just have to know how!

All about NetLotto

NetLotto came about when I sold my successful computer software business after some twenty years in the industry, and realized I had a unique opportunity to combine two of my loves - computer programming and number theory. Especially some of my own, less conventional, number theories.

I've always felt that numbers selected at random weren't truly random. That there were patterns that we didn't yet have the math to predict. And that most people studying the subject were locked into traditional ways of thinking.

When I started researching the subject, I found to my surprise that I wasn't the only one who thought this way. Throughout history, there has been a strong belief in the power of certain number combinations, and many, many cases of people becoming aware of lottery results before they actually took place. Ask yourself the question "If a number drawing is truly random, as we understand the word, then how is it possible for someone to dream the result in advance?" Yet there is no doubt that this has actually happened.

I figured that what I could bring to this subject were two powerful tools that were perhaps unique. Namely an open mind and modern computer skills. Along with the time to actually do something about it!

So I started researching lottery results around the world, and discovered some really interesting stuff.

First of all, despite the statistical assertion that number sequences like 123456 were just as likely to come up as any other, they simply never did. Furthermore, most winning entries displayed a nice spread, by which I mean that if there were six numbers drawn, more often than not three were "high" numbers and three were "low" numbers and three were even numbers and three were odd numbers. Numbers tended not to "clump" together.

Next, there was no doubt that for any given game, some numbers came up more frequently than others and, over many years of drawing, the gap between the most frequently drawn and the least frequently drawn numbers was huge.

Some games kept statistics not only on what numbers were being drawn, but also what numbers were being played. These revealed that many players used only numbers between 1 and 31, ignoring the higher numbers. Obviously, this is because so many people play their birthdays and other family members' birthdays, but it also means that a win based on these lower numbers only is more likely to be shared with many others. Similarly, you should avoid numbers that form a pattern on the entry form. 123456 is an obvious example, but there are many others that are always played by a large number of people, making a win based on these numbers hardly worth the investment.

A 12th Century mathematician, Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci, developed a series of numbers now called Fibonacci numbers. The series is deceptively simple, each term being derived by adding the previous two terms together. So we have 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. If we calculate the ratio of two successive Fibonacci numbers, we find the following series of numbers: 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1·5, 5/3 = 1·666..., 8/5 = 1·6, 13/8 = 1·625, 21/13 = 1·61538. The ratio seems to be settling down to a particular value, which we call the golden ratio or the golden number. It has a value of approximately 1·618034 and is referred to by mathematicians by the Greek letter Phi.

Now the funny thing is that Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio Phi pop up everywhere in Nature. On many plants, the number of petals is a Fibonacci number. In every spiral, a Nautilus shell grows by a factor which is equal to the golden ratio. In a honeybee hive, the ratio of workers to drones is Phi and the family tree of any one bee goes back in a Fibonacci sequence! The ratio of many parts of the human body, such as the longest finger bone to the middle one and that of the middle bone to the shortest, is also Phi.

It as if this number meant something special to the Designer of the Universe and it has been used as some kind of basic building block.

Some people believe that it also influences what we call random events. This comes into the realm of less conventional number theories. Which doesn't mean they're wrong, maybe just not fully developed yet.

I also discovered that most people put in either just one or two game entries at a time or a multi-number entry where say eight numbers were automatically entered in all possible combinations of six (or whatever). The first seemed to me a lot like throwing one line in the ocean trying to catch one particular fish but the second was like spending a whole heap of money on extra lines but then throwing all of them in the one little piece of the ocean too.

What we needed to maximize our chances was a big net that covered the whole ocean. In other words, a whole heap of entries that included all possible numbers in varying combinations, without duplicates and avoiding the traps of number patterns.

Unfortunately, this is very difficult and time-consuming to do by hand, and the job of actually checking winning number combinations against your entries is not only difficult and time consuming but also error prone. The last thing you want is to have the winning entry and miss it! (I discovered in my research that lottery organizations all over the world are holding billions - yes, billions - of dollars in unclaimed winnings.)

So I wrote NetLotto. It takes everything I've discovered and uses it to create a number net that maximizes your chances of winning the lottery. And because it's "seeded" with numbers that you select in the first place, it reduces the chances of your having to share a big win with others.

Checking the winning numbers is a breeze. Just type them in, and instantly NetLotto tells you if you've won a prize (or prizes), which prizes they are, and which were the winning entries.

Naturally I use it myself. The very first time it won me over a thousand dollars and I win at least one minor prize more times than not. I haven't won the big one yet but I know that it's just a matter of time.

Nothing would make me happier than for you to win too.
