Site Elements
Stratics - (Mega Millions) (PowerBall)

Prior

Displays the last numbers drawn

Balls on Fire(hot balls)

Hot balls are numbers called most often in recent draws

Balls on Ice(cold balls)

Cold balls are numbers called least often in recent draws

The Odds and Evens

Displays a count of how many odd and even numbers were called in the 10 most recent drawings
  • This just keeps track of the distribution of odd and even numbers drawn over time. I have included it because almost all lottery programs and books discuss this.

The Highs and Lows

Displays a count of how many high and low numbers were called in the 10 most recent drawings
  • This just keeps track of the distribution of high and low numbers drawn over time. Again, I have included it because almost all lottery programs and books discuss this.

PowerBall

  • High numbers are numbers greater than half the highest number in a lottery game.(e.g. In PowerBall the lowest number is 1 and the highest number is 59. Half of 59 is 29.5, so 29 - 59 are high numbers)
  • Low numbers are numbers less than half the highest number in a lottery game.(e.g. In PowerBall the lowest number is 1 and the highest number is 59. Half of 59 is 29.5, so 1 - 28 are low numbers)

Mega Millions

  • High numbers are numbers greater than half the highest number in a lottery game.(e.g. In Mega Millions the lowest number is 1 and the highest number is 75. Half of 75 is 37.5, so 37 - 75 are high numbers)
  • Low numbers are numbers less than half the highest number in a lottery game.(e.g. In Mega Millions the lowest number is 1 and the highest number is 59. Half of 59 is 29.5, so 1 - 36 are low numbers)

Numbers in Groups

The Frequency of Numbers

The frequency of numbers shows the how often a number has been drawn for a given numbers of draws. We are currently displaying the entire number frequency for PowerBall and Mega Millions. We have also included the Last 50, 25, 15, 10, seven and five draws.

Drawings by the Numbers

This section explains itself pretty well on the respective stratics pages. We are trying to show you how many times a number from the last drawing was drawn going back ten draws.

Games Back by Drawing

This section shows how many games went by without this ball being drawn or basically when the last time the ball in this position was drawn.
Sum Page - (Mega Millions) (PowerBall)

Current Sum

Displays the most recent numbers and their sum.

Sum Stratics

This is our baby. This information is exclusive to Lottery Stratics. In all my readings and purchases of lottery software, I have never seen this data provided as we provide it. Here we provide how many times that particular drawing produced that sum. Then we provide the average number of draws between hits. Then we go further and provide how many previous drawings produced a sum greater and lesser than the current sum. Lastly, we provide the number of times the next drawing produced a sum greater and lesser than the current sum.

Sum Projections

Another Lottery Stratics exclusive. Lottery Stratics provides what it thinks will be the next sum range. This is just fun information to provide(use at your own risk). I do not track the projections, but I am sure it is wrong more often than right. The odds are against it. I just like to use it when I am feeling lazy and do not wish to think.
User Pick - (Mega Millions) (PowerBall) By far the most useful page. When I am feeling lazy, I will grab the projected sum range from either the Mega Millions or PowerBall Sum page. Then hop over to this page and select my Odd/Even, High/Low filters, adjust the sums to match the projected sum range, select the number of tickets I need and done. I have my tickets for that drawing. The page explains itself. Make your selections, get some tickets to play.

I hope you find it as useful as I do. Let me just state this again. The information provided by this site does not make any guarantees as it pertains to winning any lottery jackpot. I provide the information because I love playing the lottery and like to have a place to go when I am away from home and need some numbers. It is in fact provided as entertainment for those of us who enjoy crunching numbers and live under the illusion that it makes a difference. Protip: It doesn't.

Best of luck and thanks for stopping by!
