About

My office Powerball pool picked numbers by birthday for six months before I built a spreadsheet to check whether that was actually worse than random. (It wasn't meaningfully worse. Wasn't better either. The whole thing is pretty much random, which is the point.)

Data analyst in Charlotte, 37. The spreadsheet now covers 18 months of Powerball and Mega Millions draws: a frequency tab, a picks log, a column for what each tool suggested, and a hit-rate column I update Wednesday and Saturday nights after the draws close. My wife calls it the Spreadsheet. Capital S. She means it affectionately, she says. I believe her approximately.

About eight months in, I started testing AI lottery tools. Three platforms, roughly 30 draw cycles each, no stopping the test early when results looked good. One tracked about four percent above random selection over eight weeks. One came in two percent below. The third was essentially a coin flip with a better dashboard. Those numbers are in the reviews, not softened.

I'm not a mathematician, not a gambling advisor. Nothing I review will make you rich. Lottery is negative expected value and that math does not change based on how sophisticated the interface looks. What I can offer is six months of draw-by-draw tracking on three platforms, with honest numbers about what each one actually did.
