Lottery games such as Florida's Fantasy 5 are based on a random selection of numbers. It is impossible for any person or any computer software to predict which numbers will be drawn in the next drawing. It is for this simple fact alone that you shouldn’t waste your money on lottery software, lottery wheels or other lottery strategies like those promoted all over the internet. Most self-described lottery "experts" selling such lottery products all advise against playing lottery terminal generated "quick picks". Fact of the matter is that of all the Fantasy 5 jackpot tickets over the past 5+ years (3,989 jackpot tickets), almost 50% were "quick picks" (1,971 "quick-pick" jackpot tickets)
The best ways to improve your chances of winning 3, 4 and 5 number Fantasy 5 cash prizes are to identify, select and play those number combinations that have historically been drawn more frequently over a long period of time than those number combinations that have rarely been drawn over the same period of time. In other words, play the proven percentages.
A great resource that identifies the 2, 3, 4 and 5 number winning number combinations of 1,825 Florida Fantasy 5 drawings from July 16, 2001 (the start date of the 5/36 Matrix Fantasy 5 game) through July 15, 2006 is the “Florida Fantasy 5 Lottery Facts Report”, which is offered at [http://www.freefantasy5lotterytips.com] for $12.95. The "Report" was published by BESTRACS Consulting, LLC, a firm that has compiled all the Florida Fantasy 5 winning number combinations for the past 5-years. The “Report” includes easy to read tables that accurately depict the number of times each of the 36 numbers was drawn over the 5-year period; the number of times each of the 36 numbers was drawn in each of the 5 positions of the winning number combinations (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th position); the number of times each possible 2-number combination (each possible pair) was drawn; all the 3-number combinations that "hit" 7 or more times over the 5-year period; all the 4-number combinations that “hit” 3 or more times over the 5-year period; high/low and odd/even winning number combination ratios; other winning number combination percentages and more.
The "Report" does not definitively tell you which numbers or number combinations to play nor does it suggest any definitive lottery playing strategy or the amount of money to play - it just represents the actual trends of the winning number combinations and number patterns over the 5-year period and calculations derived there from.
The "Report" also includes the winning number combinations from July 16, 2006 through the end of most current previous week as of the date the “Report” is ordered.
The following are some of the playing Tips that are easily derived from the “Florida Fantasy 5 Lottery Facts Report”:
1. Play 3-odd/2-even and/or 2-odd/3-even 5-number combinations. Such odd/even combinations jointly "hit" a total of 1,208 times over the 5-year period (equates to a 66.19% winning percentage).
2. Play 3-low (numbers 1 through 18)/2-high (numbers 19-36) and/or 2-low/3-high 5-number combinations. Such combinations jointly "hit" a total of 1,226 times over the 5-year period (equates to a 67.18% winning percentage).
3. Play number pairs that "hit" frequently over the 5-year period (i.e."2-35") with other numbers that "hit" frequently and with "long shot" numbers. There are several of these "winning pairs" identified in the "Florida Fantasy 5 Lottery Facts Report".
4. Play consecutive number pairs that "hit" frequently over the 5-year period (i.e."30-31") with your other numbers. There are several of these "winning consecutive number pairs" identified in the "Florida Fantasy 5 Lottery Facts Report".
5. Do not play 5-number combinations that "hit" previously over the 5-year period. Only two of the same combinations repeated over the 5-year period.
6. Do not play the same 4-number combinations repeatedly. Only 32 4-number combinations repeated more than two times over the 5-year period.
7. Do not play 5-consecutive number combinations (i.e. "5-6-7-8-9"). No such 5-consecutive number combinations "hit" over the 5-year period.
8. Do not play "all odd number" or "all even number" combinations. "All odd number" combinations "hit" only 55 times over the 5-year period (a 96.99% losing percentage) and "all even number" combinations "hit" only 49 times over the 5-year period (a 97.32% losing percentage).
9. Do not play "all low number" (1 through 18) or "all high number" (19 through 36) combinations. "All low number" combinations "hit" only 41 times over the 5-year period (a 97.75% losing percentage) and "all high number" combinations "hit" only 42 times over the 5-year period (a 97.70% losing percentage).
10. Always include a few “quick picks” in with your daily Fantasy 5 plays.
