Turning communist into natsocs are always fun
This should help
Put it in the same directory as numbers.txt and execute and it'll show the frequencies of each number per-slot.
I also sorted by frequency, so most frequent will be first and it will show in descending order from most frequent to least.
One set of the most frequent powerball numbers is: 1 17 33 61 28
Your odds of winning something by playing those numbers might be substantially increased if done enough times in a row.

In contrast a set of the least probable numbers are: 34 11 24 51 2
😃
It would be amazing if someone played those numbers and won something.
i will play them
Are these Powerballs drawn daily or weekly?
its today until 7
is it every day?
every 2 weeks 96 times in 2 years
Should probably keep record just to keep the results up to date, because the probabilities will change.
Add each new set to the top of numbers.txt in the format the others are listed in
What are the odds of a random win against the calculated odds of this projecte odds with the adjusted numbers drwan?
drawn. bloody hell.
Probably the same, if not increased.
The odds likely will not decrease.
unless it isn't updated regularly
Also, there are multiple sets of the most likely numbers per-slot
Right. but what I meant was say a regular draw was 1 billion to one. would this increase the odds as updated, and if so projected by how much? or is it still too early to ask?
I know it is a theory.
I'm unable to tell in practice honestly.
Fair enough.
In theory the odds of winning go up as more data is added, or at least will not decrease.
right on. I did no know if anyone had run a projection or not.
Only way to do that is basically to wait and see if selected numbers end up in the highest frequency slots or not.
Over time we can go as far as to narrow it down to the most frequent frequency range.
Stand Back we are going to attempt SCIENCE!!!
Haha
A very solid point well stated.
I suspect that with more and more data over time it will be easier to calculate the most likely numbers to play for victory.
The algorithm can then be evolved to further the odds.
