Hey carbob, I was looking at some examples of Pareto charts and the 80/20 law and it looks like it might work good for controlled conditions and not so much for random conditions. I thought I would play around with the 80% idea and here is what I did. I loaded a full package and then I analyzed 60 past draws and then went to winning numbers-analyze ticket positions and in the % column, I highlighted all of the numbers in each position that was 3.33% and higher and filtered accept, I did this for each position. I then went to the package and checked for winning combinations and almost every combination had a jackpot, not all but you will need to test this out for yourself and see how it works for the FL lottery, I'm in Ohio Rolling Cash 5/39.
Yes the filtering leaves a lot of combinations left but maybe some more 80% testing might pan out.
