I was looking at my losing Mega Millions ticket last night and thought 'can I ever win this?'

I am not holding out much hope but then I thought, 'how about if I took the winning numbers for the year so far and tried to find a pattern in them?'

Genius!

Maybe.

So I went to the Illinoislottery.com website to find the numbers. I thought they used to have a link to download the data directly but that may have been years ago.  So I just copied the data from the web page and put it into a spreadsheet.

I then used Excel to break the ‘Winning Numbers’ data into 5 individual columns, named 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', and 'five'. I know, real original naming convention.

So now my data looks like this:

I then opened my spreadsheet in Toad Data Point and started diving into the data. I really want to win this lottery thing!

In the attached video I show you how I was able to take the data in the spreadsheet and start profiling it and see what kind of trends I could find, and maybe that lucky number combo. Fingers-crossed.

I hope this video will encourage you to find ways to explore your datasets and find those nuggets of gold that are hiding there and help you make more informed decisions for your business. And if it makes you chuckle a little bit, then I am happy.

If you have questions about the product visit the Toad Data Point web page or if you would like to interact with the Toad community at large visit Toad World for even more fun and exciting information about the Toad family of tools.

    I am a 58 years old grandmother who worked in a warehouse for years and I love playing lottery games but always fail in winning. I was researching online one evening when I saw random Testimonies of people appreciating lord Bubuza for giving them the right lottery winning numbers after casting a lottery spell. I spoke to him on WhatsApp: +1 951 442 2214 for help and he said, I will cast a spell and the lottery winning numbers will be revealed to me by my gods(Oracle). I provided his requirements to cast the spell. After casting the spell, He sent me some numbers and said PLAY WITHOUT FEAR. I bought 2 lottery scratch cards in a local shop and played. I won £1,000,000 pounds on the first one but I didn’t believe so I scratch other ticket and behold I won £10,000,000 pounds again. I immediately retired from my warehouse job when my winning amount hit my account. Lord Bubuza is a great SEER and has changed my financial status.
