This is a Python-based application for generating Lotto Max numbers using historical data (since 2009) and weighted combinations. The application allows users to generate multiple tickets with a balanced mix of frequently drawn numbers and randomly selected numbers, taking into account pairs, triplets, and other combinations.
- Generate Multiple Tickets: Users can generate multiple Lotto Max tickets at once.
- Lucky Numbers: Users can input their own lucky numbers, which will be included in the generated set.
- Custom Damping Factor: Users can adjust the damping factor to control the influence of the frequency table on the generated numbers.
- Balanced Algorithm: The algorithm takes into account the most common pairs, triplets, and other combinations while still introducing randomness.
To run this application, you'll need Python installed on your machine. You can install the required packages using pip:
pip install beautifulsoup4
pip install requestsFollow the prompts to generate your Lotto Max tickets. You can choose the number of tickets to generate, input your lucky numbers, and specify a damping factor to influence the algorithm.
How many tickets would you like to generate? 3
Enter a damping factor (press Enter to use default 0.8): 0.7
Generating ticket 1:
Your Lotto Max Numbers: [3, 11, 23, 28, 31, 41, 46]
Generating ticket 2:
Your Lotto Max Numbers: [5, 10, 12, 19, 21, 33, 44]
Generating ticket 3:
Your Lotto Max Numbers: [2, 9, 14, 17, 25, 37, 45]
The algorithm used in this project is designed to generate Lotto Max numbers with a balance between historical data and randomness:
- Frequency Table: Numbers are selected based on their frequency of occurrence in past draws. A damping factor controls the influence of these frequencies.
- Weighted Sets: The algorithm considers the most common pairs, triplets, and other combinations, giving them different weights in the selection process.
- Randomness: Despite the use of historical data, randomness is introduced to ensure that the generated numbers are not overly predictable.
The damping factor is a key parameter in the algorithm. It allows you to adjust how much influence the frequency table has on the generated numbers:
- Lower Damping Factor (e.g., 0.1): Increases the influence of the frequency table, making common numbers more likely to be selected.
- Higher Damping Factor (e.g., 0.8): Reduces the influence of the frequency table, allowing for more randomness.
