It seems you think that somehow any number that has not yet been drawn has some better chance of being drawn in the future. Perhaps you should educate yourself on probability and statistics. The reality check is this: a lottery is NOT a set of fixed numbers that gradually gets "drawn down" until certain ones "remain" that will be more likely to be drawn. The sad truth is that EVERY NUMBER OR SET OF NUMBERS HAS THE EXACT SAME CHANCE OF BEING DRAWN EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Sorry, there is no way around this. There can absolutely be NO "system" for selecting lottery numbers. It is truly and completely random and if you insist on believing otherwise you are deluding yourself and are at risk of developing a gambling problem.
Math and statistical probability are hard scientific facts.

What would be the point? Every time the lottery is drawn a random set of numbers is produced. The balls don't 'remember' what has come before. You can do all the stats you like, but it doesn't alter the fact that each event is completely random and not predictable.
If it were possible to predict the lottery using math, you'd see a lot of math scholars winning the lottery.

Good question! I've often wondered about that also, but as of yet I haven't found a program that will do that. All lotto sights have archives of all winning combinations from the inception of lottery in any particular state as you know. Seems like there should be a program out there somewhere.

Most lottery corporation websites have archived results, but I don't think they show what combinations haven't been drawn or won yet
