U.S. developer claims app can improve chances of a lottery win

San Francisco-based Brain Contents Inc., has claimed in publicity releases that its new app Lottopia can assist lottery punters in picking numbers that offer statistically improved chances of winning a prize.

In building out the app, Brain designers have assembled a plethora of observed trends and factual data, delivering a hopefully more precise forecast of what winning numbers are most likely to be and improving the tactics commonly used by punters such as birth or other significant dates.

By using an algorithm that notes these observed trends, Lottopia is creating Lottopicks – smart combos that have a higher chance for success than random choice.

The Brain Contents release claims: “Mega Millions and Powerball held their respective draws on August 14 and 18. The draws yielded good results for Lottopia. Their pre-generated pools of Lottopicks contained Jackpot combinations for both games.

“The Powerball jackpot now sits at $60 million but was worth $50 million at the time of the draw. Lottopia struck the winning combination from a pool of 7 million combinations. To date, this has been the app’s 6th Powerball jackpot combination. The Mega Millions jackpot, now worth $118 million, was worth $75 million at the time of the draw. The winning combo was Lottopia’s first successful Mega Millions pick.”

The company goes on to state the obvious – lotto players are looking for any edge they can get against what are considered abysmal odds. It claims that Lottopia’s new app streamlines number management and updates analytics on historical data after every draw.

The app generates its Lottopicks based on lottery draw data. Its system identifies numbers that perform “better-than-random” by examining historical draws. The app’s algorithm then filters these numbers and identifies “hot and cold” patterns that have made significant historical appearances. The advanced system has been used to great success in South Korea’s national lottery, having scored 86 jackpot prizes with its numbers, the company claims.
