STRATEGIES FOR MASSIVE LOTTERY POOLS                   

    A massive lottery pool is any pool above 1000 tickets.
 These pools usually are formed by "very serious" lottery players
 with the intent of winning very large drawings - usually above
 $ 40 million.  The number of players in these pool may be as little
 as 5 to 10  up to in the thousands.  Some massive pools have
 attempted in the past to "corner" as much as 50 - 75 % of all
 the possible combinations in some drawings. I'm speaking of the
 attempt by the Australian syndicate to buy all the tickets in
 the Virginia lottery in January of 1992.

    Some options are:

    1)  Pick the top 6 numbers by frequency         plus

    2)  Pick the top 3 numbers by frequency plus
         the 3 most overdue numbers                 plus

    3)  Wheel a medium/large size group of numbers 
        (16-22)	for a 4/4 win, or possible 5 
        or grand prize                              plus

    4)  Run a "Power" wheel on 8 or 12 key
        numbers                                      or

    5)  Wheel a medium group (10-12) numbers for a 
        "full" wheel                                 or

    6)  Run a set of 4000 to 12000 sets of random
        numbers filtered with a yield of (25%) 
        thus giving 1000 to 3000 sets of numbers     or

    7)  If ballset information is available pick
        a couple of ballsets, and use an abbreviated
        wheel to pick 300 or 500 sets from each of 
        about 3 to 5 ballsets.
