Again, every combination drawn will be one of these Formats. If you do not play the Format drawn, you have absolutely no chance of winning the grand prize. If you did play the Format drawn, your chances of winning the grand prize have greatly increased! Let's assume you were playing Format Group #4 (1-1-3 Format) and it was drawn! You would have successfully narrowed your odds from 65,780 Number Combinations to a little over 6,000 combinations. How close have you come before? Think about how many 3 and 4 number winners you may have had! How do you play a Format? Simple! If I wanted to play the 1-2-2 Format in this game, for example, I would play one number between 1 and 8, two numbers between 9 and 17 and two numbers between 18 and 26. Use the Number Groups for your game. Remember, the Format shows you how many numbers come from each of the three Number Groups. In the case of a combination drawn, the Format shows you how many numbers were drawn from each of the three Number Groups. We knew before the drawings ever took place which Formats would be drawn the most, giving us the most opportunities of winning. As it turns out, we were absolutely right! Have we become prophetic? Would Nostradamus be proud? Let's not answer those questions! Instead, let's think about this! We now know which Formats have the best chance of being drawn on any given night. We also know which Formats should be drawn the most over any period of time. While this is a revelation in itself, notice also that ALL Formats are indeed consistent! That is, they ALL do as expected! We can also see that the Formats which get drawn the most are the larger Formats. It would be ideal if we knew when would be a good time to play the smaller Formats, given the fact that they are also consistent. Well....we didn't say we were done! You read earlier where Lottery America Calculated Results Tables give you the ability to "Pick your odds and time your bets". Well, we sure know at this point how to pick your odds! Let's move on to timing your bets.
