I play. Only occasionally, using random numbers (Lucky Dip) every so often, when the jackpots really large, but I strongly dispute your idea of prediction, based on past results.

Assuming your numbers are drawn via balls rotating in a machine, like the UK, then it's simply impossible.

On every draw, the balls have no memory of what has happened in the past draws. Just like flipping a coin - its 50/50 each time. Just because its come down heads 99 times in a row, the 100th flip is still 50/50 as the coin has no memory...

While it can be argued that a certain ball may have a minute imperfection, leading to it being select a fraction of a percent more than another, that would be moot, as they choose a different machine (out of 6 possible machines) seconds before each draw, and the 6 sets of balls get replaced regularly...

Or am I misunderstanding what you are proposing?
