About Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt Lotto Game
Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt 5/30 started on May 8, 2007. To play, you choose five numbers from 1 to 30. Drawings are held daily. Each play costs $1. The jackpot starts at $10,000.
The odds of winning it are one in 142,506. With such low odds, this is the easiest game to win in Pennsylvania compared to the other games: Pennsylvania Cash 5 (odds 1:962,598), Pennsylvania Match 6 (odds 1:4,661,272), Mega Millions with odds of one in 302,575,350, and Powerball (odds of 1 in 292 million!).
Operators and manufacturers appear to be hiding behind a 2014 Beaver County court decision declaring the machines games of skill. Since they are not games of chance, like slot machines at a licensed PA casino, or the 40,000 illegal video gaming terminals (VGTs) estimated to be operating across the state, a Beaver County court ruled the games.

GAIL HOWARD'S FREE STRATEGIES TO SHOW YOU HOW TO WIN Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt
Lottery numbers are randomly drawn. However, randomly drawn numbers form patterns that can be tracked and used to our advantage. Having carefully analyzed all the drawings in past lotto results of more than 200 different lotto games worldwide, with histories going back as far as 1955, we have verified the following incredibly simple rule:
That which is LEAST POSSIBLE happens LEAST OFTEN.
The key to Smart Luck's successful lotto number selection methods is playing the probabilities. If you play a pattern that occurs only five percent of the time, you can expect that pattern to lose 95 percent of the time, giving you no chance to win 95 percent of the time. So, don't buck the probabilities.
How to WIN Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt Lotto
ODD-EVEN LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
When you select your Pennsylvania Lotto numbers, try to have a relatively even mix of odd and even numbers. All odd numbers or all even numbers are rarely drawn, occurring less than 3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three odd and two even, or two odd and three even. One of these two patterns will occur in 67 percent of the drawings.
HIGH-LOW LOTTO NUMBER TIPS
Winning numbers are usually spread across the entire number field. If we take a number field and cut it in half, we have the low half and the high half. In 30-number game like Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt, numbers 1 to 15 would be in the low half, and numbers 16 to 30 would be in the high half. All high numbers or all low numbers are rarely drawn, occurring only 3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three high and two low, or two high and three low. One of these two patterns will occur in 68 percent of the drawings.
LOTTERY NUMBER GROUP STRATEGIES
Look at a list of past winning numbers from Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt lotto results, and you'll see, more often than not, that one or more of the number groups is not represented. For example, in the combination 5-8-14-17-31, there are no 20's. Tracking and studying Number Groups can help you decide which group to omit and which group to give extra heavy play.
LOTTERY GAMES SKIPPED STRATEGIES
List the number of games skipped (games out) since the last hit (win) for each of the winning numbers during the last five games. Then mark the number of times each skip occurred. If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the lotto numbers that are out that many games. (Help working with lotto games skipped.)
LOTTO NUMBER SUM ADVICE - PLAY A BALANCED GAME®
After you choose five numbers you want to play, add them together and make sure that the sum of the five numbers adds up to somewhere between 60 and 100. Sums that fall within that range will account for over 70 percent of all lottery jackpots won.
REPEAT HITS LOTTERY TIPS
In Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt lotto game, on average, one lottery number will be a repeat hit from the last drawing every other drawing or 62 percent of the time.
HOT NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
Numbers that have been out (losers) for four games or less account for about half of the winning numbers. Losing numbers that have been out for six games or less account for about two-thirds of all the winning numbers. Numbers out ten games or less account for 86 percent of the winning numbers. This tells us that hot numbers are more likely to hit, but don't forget to include at least one long shot in your group of 5.
COLD NUMBER LOTTERY SECRETS
It is difficult to know when a cold number will end a long losing streak. If you play a number every drawing because you think it is due, you could be chasing it for many months. (Number 45 in New York Lotto sat out 100 drawings before it finally hit.) Although, when a number has been out for 70 games or so, it might be worth chasing.
Lottery Pools and Lottery Syndicates
POOL YOUR WAY TO LOTTO RICHES
Several of the 109 Lotto jackpots won with Smart Luck lottery systems were won by groups of people who pooled their money. Sharing the ticket cost with others stretches your Lotto budget. By playing with a group, you can afford to buy more lottery tickets—and play larger wheeling systems—than you could (or should) by yourself. Draw up an agreement and have the members of your pool sign it.
How to Get Lucky in Lotto
CASH IN ON THE LUCK OF OTHERS
When you form a Lotto pool, your group is also pooling its aggregate luck. A lotto jackpot could happen because of the luck just one member brings to your pool. Select your partners carefully. Share your luck with winners, not losers. Avoid negative people. Not only are they unlucky, but they dampen enthusiasm and drain energy from others. You want to enhance your own luck, not dilute its strength. One quick way to tell winners from losers is simply to ask them: 'Do you think you are a lucky person?' Many people quickly admit, 'I'm unlucky. I never win anything.' They won't bring good luck to your group either.
CASH IN ON A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
No one should play games of chance out of desperation because they need the winnings. The needy have a greater fear of losing the hard-earned money they gamble with. It is just one of life's dirty tricks that the very fear of losing blocks the winning forces. Thoughts are charged with energy, especially when triggered by emotion. Fear attracts exactly that which one fears. A strong desire for a goal that is charged with positive energy, attracts a positive response, especially when every effort is made to attain that goal.
Lottery Wheels
USE BALANCED WHEEL® SYSTEMS
Balanced Wheeling® Systems allow you to bet a large group of numbers (more than 5), play scientific combinations of that group of numbers, and get a specific minimum win guarantee. Balanced Wheels® force all the winning numbers that are in your group to come together to give you at least one prize if some or all of the winning numbers are in your chosen group.
It's true that the more numbers you wheel, the easier it is to trap the winning numbers in your chosen group. But to get the most leverage for your money, the optimum number of numbers to wheel is not more than four or five numbers over HALF the numbers in your game. For Pennsylvania Treasure Hunt, that means you should wheel less than about 20 of the 30 total numbers. Otherwise, you'll be spending MORE money chasing a SMALLER guaranteed prize. You benefit more by wheeling a carefully selected group of lotto numbers.
THE BEST WAY TO WHEEL ALL THE LOTTO NUMBERS IN YOUR GAME
Any one wheeling system that covers ALL the numbers in the game is too spread out, making the win guarantee not worth the wager. There are smart ways to wheel all the numbers in the game by using Trap-by-Overlap and other wheeling strategies covered on pages 137 to 142 in Gail Howard's lotto book, Lottery Master Guide.
Most of Smart Luck's lottery winners used a Balanced Wheel® in addition to her Smart Luck® number selection methods. You can use a FREE lotto interactive Balanced Wheeling System that won multiple lottery jackpots. Read about our lottery winners, too. And when you win a jackpot with my lottery systems, tell me about it so I can add you to my growing list of lotto winners. If you don't want your name publicized, Gail will honor that.
Save Money by Knowing Lotto Numbers to Avoid
Lotto players who select their lottery numbers thoughtlessly or foolishly are destined to lose even before the drawing takes place. By knowing which number combinations and patterns to avoid, you'll have an advantage over such players—and save money, too.
AVOID NUMBER COMBINATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN DRAWN BEFORE
Many players like to bet the numbers that have won someone else a big jackpot, and by doing so, they are almost guaranteed NOT to win one themselves. In PA Treasure Hunt, with seven drawings a week, a set of five numbers has a chance of being drawn once every 390 years. This should also answer the question we are so often asked, 'Shouldn't I keep playing the same set of numbers every week because they are due to hit sometime?'
AVOID BETTING ONE LOTTO NUMBER GROUP
Never choose all five numbers from one number group, such as all single digits, or all teens, or all 20's, etc. All five winning numbers drawn from one group is highly unlikely, although it is more likely in a game with only thirty numbers than in games with higher number fields.
AVOID BETTING FIVE CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS
Even four consecutive numbers is a very rare occurrence that, in most Lotto games, has never happened once.
AVOID THE COMBINATION 1-2-3-4-5
The most popular set of numbers most often played is: 1-2-3-4-5. Thousands of tickets are bought with this combination every drawing. The selection is too far out of balance to come up in a random drawing.
AVOID NUMBER MULTIPLES
Other popular combinations that get heavy play are the number multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25 and 7-14-21-28-35.
AVOID PATTERN BETTING
Pattern betting is an even more popular method of marking bet slips. Patterns of numbers marked in a row to make a straight line, either across the bet slip vertically or diagonally get heavy play—which means sharing the prize with others if the numbers are drawn as winners. Other designs such as patterns of initials or numbers or crosses also get heavy play.
AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
Many people like to play same last digits, such as 3-13-23-33, or all digits that end in seven, or some other favorite lucky lottery number. Even four same last digits occur in less than two-tenths of one percent of all drawings. Winning sets of numbers with no more than one repeated last digit represent nearly 90 percent of all drawings.
NIX LOTTO QUICK PICKS
Quick Picks are used by lazy people who want to be in the action without putting any effort into learning how to win the lottery. When you read articles about lotto jackpot winners, it appears as though they all used either Quick Picks, birth dates, or their children's ages. The vast majority of people do play that way. If the majority of tickets sold are Quick Picks, then it makes sense that the majority of jackpots won should be won with Quick Picks. However, when you see the actual statistics, as we did, you'll find that you have a better chance of winning by picking numbers randomly out of a hat than by using Quick Picks.
In Lotto, the Trend is Your Friend

How To Win The Pennsylvania Skill Games Machine Learning
Find out more about Lottery SoftwareI have been coaching lacrosse for over 10 years and after reading Robert Katz’s three-skills approach, it clicked right away. On a high school team you have three different levels. First you have the players, then the assistant coaches and finally the head coach. This perfectly aligns with Katz’s three levels, low level management, middle level management and top management (Northouse, 2016, p. 44-45). The three-skills approach is the idea that there are three skills essential for effective leadership, technical skill, human skill and conceptual skill (Northouse, 2016, p. 44). From my experience in coaching I see a clear picture how these skills are a necessity to having a successful lacrosse program.
The first skill is the technical skill. When thinking of technical skill in lacrosse it is actually very basic. “Technical skill is knowledge about and proficiency in a specific type of work or activity” (Northouse, 2016, p. 44). To play the sport you have to know how and be able to use a lacrosse stick. With the lacrosse stick you have to be able to pass and catch, pick up the ball off the ground and cradle the ball in your stick. You must be able to understand and do these “technical skills” to play the sport of lacrosse.
Second we have human skill. In lacrosse you have to have human skills. The phrase “there is no I in team” comes to mind when connecting human skills and lacrosse. Lacrosse is a team sport, everyone has to work together to accomplish the goal, and the goal is always to win. The players have to work with the players and work under their coaches. The coaches have to work with their players and with the other coaches. If we don’t do this we will not accomplish the team goal of winning. As Northouse put it, human skills “are the abilities that help a leader work effectively with followers, peers and superiors to accomplish the organization’s goals” (2016, p. 45). It’s obvious this is an essential skill for everyone on the lacrosse team.
Finally the last the last skill in the three-skill approach is conceptual skill. In lacrosse conceptual skill would be considered being able to understand and work with different plays. In lacrosse or any sport this would be called x’s and o’s. Creating plays that work and compliment the teams strengths. As a leader with conceptual skill on a lacrosse team you need to be able to create and work with the direction of where you want the team to go. Northouse defines conceptual skill as “the ability to work with ideas and concepts” (2016, p. 45). These ideas and concepts would be plays and plans for the team. I strongly believe without conceptual skill you can’t effectively manage or coach a team and Robert Katz feels the same way.
Robert Katz lays out how these three skills align with different levels of managers or leaders. In low management leaders need to have strong technical and human skills, with a limited need for conceptual skill (Northouse, 2016, p. 46). With middle management leaders need to sound in all three, technical, human and conceptual skill (Northouse, 2016, p. 46). Last, in upper management the leader only really needs to be competent in human and conceptual skill, technical skill is not as important here (Northouse, 2016, p. 46). As you will see when it comes to a lacrosse team the three-skill approach fits nicely.
In lacrosse the low management would be the players. The players need to be able to play the sport, technical skill. This would be being able to play with a lacrosse stick, physically moving and so on. All of the technical lacrosse skills are needed to be a player. Next are human skills. The players on the team need to be able to work or play with each other. If they can’t do that they cannot be successful and with not accomplish the team goal, again “there is no I in team”. The players also need to be able to be coached. This is working with their superiors, the coaches. If they can’t be coached or won’t work with the coaches they will not get better and not accomplish the team goals. Lastly having a limited understanding of how plays work and people move around on the field will suffice for them. As long as they can play the sport and play together they can accomplish the goal of winning.
Middle management, as discussed involves having all three skills. In my eyes when looking at my teams the middle management would be the assistant coaches. I rely on my assistant coaches being “proficient” in the technical skills of lacrosse. They need to be able to show the players how to do the technical skills, I find this essential. This leads into the assistant coaches having human skills. The assistant coached must be able to coach, or work with, the players to help them achieve the team goal. They also need to be able to work with each other to be efficient and with me, to learn and teach the skills and concepts we are providing the players. The assistant coaches also have to have the conceptual skills. They need to understand and see the vision I have laid out for the team. Knowing and understanding the practice plans and game plans created. This comes in the form of plays and drills. To be effective leaders the assistant coaches need to have all three skills.
Now for the head coach, top management. The head coach absolutely needs to be able to work with his assistant coaches and players, the subordinates. I as the head coach need to be able to teach, motivate and get everyone under me to “buy in” to the team’s goal and plan. The head coach also needs to work with other head coaches to arrange games, and referees, the peers. As a head coach, if I can’t work with other coaches we would not play any games. This would keep us from even attempting our goal, winning. To accomplish the team goal the head coach needs to create plays, practice plans and game plans. This is the conceptual skill. As the head coach I need to create a vision and plan for the team to win games (Northouse, 2016, p. 45). Technical skill is not important as a head coach. The head coach needs to work with his players, assistants, other head coaches and create a plan for the team to follow. If I can do that as a head coach we can be successful in winning games.
The three-skill approach works very well when applied to coaching a lacrosse team. I am positive this would fit into almost any team in any sport. Applying the three-skill approach to my coaching job has actually given me a better view to successful lead my team to achieve our overarching goal. Winning games.
