I’ve finally found a training method for char-rnn, that seems to be generating useful or interesting results.  2800 rigorous training routines with improving train_loss numbers, after trying several approaches that included an unprimed generation of 5 million + characters (that did not render an appropriate date, even).  The number 11 seems quite persistent (as were 3,4, and 5)  Once I got 9 as a starter, with so many of the other numbers in the same area as other prior guesses beginning with 4 and 1, I figured we were golden.  Eleven is going to return, it has to.

I don’t know why I am more comfortable with 27 and 42 repeating, especially when 42 would be making it’s 3rd appearance.  I think I am not counting on all 6 being right, but that there will be a repeat (as that seems to be happening a lot lately) and maybe it will be one of these numbers.  and if not we’ll at least get 3 or 4 numbers right, maybe.  I’m not going to advertise this set as a big winner, just that we might get several numbers correct. 

The char-rnn selected set is: 9, 11, 23, 27, 42, 48

alternates for 27 and 42 according to my calculations might be  10, 15, 30, 32, or 43.  If you are inclined to substitute those out or play a number of these combinations, well... anything is possible.  I, of course, will feel an agonizing pain of defeat for not having the confidence to make those substitutions myself if one of those five numbers or more completes a winning combination.  And if BIG LOTTO is reading... only look at the bold numbers, ok?

Lottery Rollover For 20th July 2013

Wednesday's draw was unfortunate not to see a jackpot winner however this does mean the jackpot will roll over for the next draw to a staggering £5,700,000!

This jackpot has not reached such a level since May 2013 which made one incredibly lucky individual a multimillionaire scooping the full jackpot of £6,123,375.

If you won the lottery, what would be the first item on your shopping list? and lastly, how much would you be content with?

1 in 4 lottery jackpots are won by lottery syndicates.

The image above is the chart mapping the age of each number recently selected in the uk lotto for this past Saturday December 1st.  

This image is the set of numbers that char-rnn neural network chose (with some assistance from me) for tomorrow’s draw Wednesday, December 5th.

The neural network script guessed two numbers right in the Saturday draw, which means we get a “lucky dip!”.  Last time that happened the “lucky dip!” won £25.  The “lucky dip!” is a random number generated by the lotto.  Seems they have a bit of an edge if you ask me.

The above crashing fowl shaped figure strikes me as on track for an extra match or two.  Three maybe four next time, as the AI brain is fed more numbers to compare with.  I am also working toward a different script but having trouble getting certain things to play properly with my Mac OS.  I’ll let you all know if I get that cracking over the holidays. In the meantime play  13, 16, 30, 32, 37, 47 and that goose above us will lay a golden egg.  Right?  BTW... these images are NOT pornographic!

There’s lots going on today.  Here in the U.S. the Mega-Millions jackpot is the second largest in history at 900 million dollars.  Apparently, CNN has calculated that to be equal to two Taylor Swift’s. In context, do I even need to make a comment about the objectification of women?  $900 million could help the cause quite a bit.  Needless to say, I did some experimenting with the methodologies I have been using in the UK to develop a suite of numbers for the Mega Millions draw tonight.  If they win... I may never post to this blog again, but I’m keeping those numbers secret.  Even though I believe you can play Mega Millions over there in the UK.  I don’t want Mr. MegaMillions to catch on.

I am not keeping secret the fact that the neural network generated almost the same pick for this Saturday.  4, 11, 17, 23, 40, 43  I’m not sure what kinda bumpy backward L that is that it draws.  I just know that if past history is any guide it’s big old loser of a number.  If, however you believe in the power of machines to outthink us... we may be on to something.

A google reverse image search picked this image as a match for the data visualization below.  An aerial lift.  That combined with the witchcraft of  my hat interpretation seems encouraging.  No?

[stupiditytax]

I kinda like the spread of these numbers better than my last set.  Though it keeps starting in the single digits.  Also, every training of the network I did when sampled gave me a 46.  Seems to me 46 is hot right now?

Also.. we’re back to the witches hats... so that has to be good right? The pointy image above represents the following set of numbers. 

5, 20, 25, 31, 43, 46

 If I were a betting man and lived in England I would use them.  I would also maybe use the numbers from my last post.   Oh...  and the 10 that I recommended as a swap out for my last guess?  That showed up in the EuroMillions... but 1 outta five is no winner in my book.  

I still rely on a shady buyer in England to purchase the tickets for this project, though I recently was able to watch the Peter Watkins docu-drama about nuclear war called “The War Game” using a VPN with my location set to London (wonder why it won’t play in the U.S.?).  I have often wondered what would happen if I used that same technique to buy a lotto ticket while comfortably ensconced in the American Southwest?

Anyway.. I’m gonna leave it at the numbers above as the preferred set.  Good luck to any who play!

[stupiditytax]

Sorry to go dark for a bit.  Between celebrating my birth and fretting over our elections I was duly distracted from number guessing.

One of the things that has consistently frustrated me in the process of trying to guess numbers has been the idea of repetition.  It seems logical that once a number is picked out of a large enough range, that alone would be enough to make it less likely the next time.  Of course, if a number has a very low total count and needs to catch up to the other numbers in the set, that might provide an exception.  Before you remind me that randomness ensures that none of these concerns really matter, I do understand that.  However, the lottery encourages us to look at statistical probability.  To this end, I  try to look at whatever elements I can to statistically justify a number’s occurrence.

I am still using the character based neural network to select numbers, which I think is somewhat flawed because I think it sometimes will choose a number that has been occurring often because it has been occurring frequently in the data set, rather than because it hasn't been used in a while.   

Tonight’s number predicts a duplicate in the number 4.  When I look historically, 4 was last picked in July, and then again about a month earlier.  Its current total number of times picked is on the upper end of the average. So if it is picked twice in a row, it would be surprising but still fairly negligible in terms of it’s effect on things.  Shape-wise when 4 was picked on Wednesday it was in my high probability category.  

All of this is to say the shape above seems to reveal a problem in the drawing algorithm, but I post it anyway because I like it. Tonight’s numbers are: 

4, 11, 17, 23, 41, 44

[stupiditytax]

Big changes are afoot (no pun intended).  The top image is what the uk Lotto drew for Wednesday this week. It looks like my high heel shoe crashed into a wall, backward. I have lost all hope that the lotto has been trying to meet me halfway with the numbers I was using for the last three draws.

I was recently exposed to a fairly easy to implement Recurrent Neural Network implementation by a graduate student I am working with.  It’s called char-rnn. It functions kind of like a Markov Chain, but using torch and by looking at individual characters instead of words and sentences,  It seems to do a good job developing language that way, so I figured it might be a nice change of pace to look to it to predict lotto numbers from past patterns. One major problem, that I intend to ignore, for the time being, is visible, or at least verifiable,  in the second image above.  Many of the numbers in the generated text are from past dates, that may or may not correspond to the days of the week they are connected to, and that may or may not be accurate “guesses” of those numbers.  I am so eager to share the results, however, that I have chosen not to investigate these potential aberrations.

Why am I so enthusiastic with such minimal quality control?  Well, it’s because of the third image.  The neural network generated a new shoe!  Totally different set of numbers!  So these will definitely be the numbers!  RIght?!?!?!?!

Without further conversation... these are the numbers for the uk lotto draw on Saturday, October 13th, 2018:

3, 11, 17, 22, 41, 48

[stupiditytax]

The top image is the actual numbers and the bottom is the guess (wherein only lucky 13 matched).  The symmetry of the actual numbers is mindboggling.

For Saturday the 7th’s UK Lotto... the computer has guessed 7, 12, 27, 33, 45, 49.

45 would be a repeat so you might want to hedge your bets and insert a number in the fifties if you are looking to hit all 6 digits.  At this point I just want to see if I can get to 3 or 4 digits... 5 would be heavenly.  Hell, maybe 45 will be a repeat.  In any case, if the numbers the computer has guessed do appear the shape they will make based on my data visualization algorithm will be as follows.

looks strangely familiar, doesn’t it?  I can’t tell if I am mapping the probabilities of char-rnn or the lotto.  I guess Saturday’s result might tell me?

[stupiditytax]

I have tweaked the training and sampling methods extensively.  I was discouraged by a constantly recurring series of 4s and 5s and 11s.  Or maybe just nonsense which could maybe be parsed into something.  The image above which kind of continues the witches hat shape, but with some flapping wing brim action, also seems continuous with the previous draw.  Given that the numbers were generated by a neural network, and learning machine, it must be better than a learning human, right?  So these are the numbers I’m sticking with.

3, 21, 26, 33, 45, 54

At the rate we’ve been seeing lately, I am hopeful that we will have 3 numbers in this set... or maybe 4.  But 6 is always a possibility too.  So, umm... Happy American Thanksgiving!  and feel free to send your winnings to me by boat if you feel inclined....  just no blankets, ok?

[stupiditytax]

Here we go.  I don’t think this is a shoe.  Might be back to a witch’s hat, or ... who knows.  Witches can help with spells and such, so maybe this is a random attempt at a witch’s hat in much the same way there have been near misses at high heeled shoes?  The numbers for Wednesday October 17, 2018 for the UK Lotto as predicted by char-rnn, the lua/torch based recursive neural network.

Let’s win! Right?

[stupiditytax]

This is what the newest numbers give me as a shape.

6, 15, 28, 29, 49, 51

If you have been following the dismal state of politics on this side of the Atlantic you will forgive me if the torpor inspired by all the beer being consumed in the courts limits me to one set of numbers a week.  And if you see a high heel shoe in these numbers?  Perhaps it is the heel that will stamp out misogynist, privileged, drunks.  £26.3 million could go a long way in that direction, no?
