Patent ID: 7565263

Claim:
A method for selecting numbers for a game of prediction such as a lottery drawing where a specific subset of numbers are selected from a defined set of numbers, the method comprising: breaking down the defined set of numbers to sequential group of numbers, assigning a color to each sequential group of numbers; using a computer based system for generating all the possible outcomes of the lottery drawing; generating relevant statistics for the lottery drawing; generating a plurality of templates, using the relevant statistics, the plurality of templates representing all of the possible subsets of colors patterns, for all of the possible outcomes of the lottery drawing, each template displaying all the subsets of number combinations for a particular color pattern, and displaying the statistics identifying a situation of equilibrium for each selection of a specific subset of numbers in the defined set of numbers which may be picked in the lottery drawing, each template containing “Discrete Sample Spaces” for determining theoretical probabilities of the outcomes of the lottery drawing, the computer based system performing calculations and identifying the probabilities that a particular sequence of numbers will be chosen, within a Standard Deviation, the computer based system formulating predictions based on the statistics, and incorporating the probability on the templates representing all the possible lottery drawing outcomes; accessing the system; entering a particular subset of numbers into the system; viewing the template for the color pattern represented by the entered subset of numbers; using the probability data to determine whether the particular subset of numbers or other numbers sharing the same color pattern of the template should be chosen by the user.
