I have never looked into the Markov Chains, and really don't know what they are. I also am not familiar with Excel spreadsheets, so likely will be mind boggled to try to do what you guys are doing here. BUT, I appreciate any leads I can get, so will look into what Markov Chains are.
I would like your input one of my methods....and the best part is...it is consistent, and seems to work across many lotteries. I'd like to know how it works in yours.
Here it is. No graphs or spreadsheets necessary. For every number that came out in the last drawing, play 7 away. Look here at the last Lotto drawing from last night in Florida. For almost every number in the past two draws, you can find that the previous 2 draws have exactly 7 numbers away from the other numbers. I have been watching this for awhile. And it happens A LOT! Though, not for every single number, every time. (that would be too easy!)

In line one, you have 10, and right below you have 17.
In line one, you have 14, and two below, you have 7.
In line one, you have 28, and in same line, you have 35.
In line one you have 35, and in same line, you have both 28 and 42.
In line one, you have 49, and in same line you have 42
In line 2, you have 12, and in same line you have 19.
In line 2, you have 16, and that has no matches in two lines.
In line 2, you have 17, and that has no matches in two lines.
In line 2, you have 19, and that has 12 in same line.
In line 2 you have 33, again with no match.
In line 2, you have 39, and two below, you have 32.
In line 3, you have 7, and one line below, you have 53.
In line 3, you have 8, and in same line you have 15.
16-21-23-29-32-38 would be the drawing from 6/6/15
So that means that number 28 on the third line, in above post, also has match, two lines down with number 21.
I haven't gone further with the examples, but you might get the idea. You may not get all 6 with matches of seven away, but if you look for it, this is the way it seems to happen in many lotteries, including the 5 of 36 games and even Powerball, sometimes. I haven't looked into too many others.
Please tell me if it works in your lottery....and if you think this is useful. The problem I see with it is having to wheel 24 numbers, unless you leave out the numbers that already aligned with the numbers, before....and also the problem is that sometimes the 7 away is in the same drawing. I am wondering if there is a way to perfect this method?
Blessings!
