Walk-forward strategy performance
Every strategy was re-run draw by draw across the 547 archive drawings (2026-03-06 → 2026-09-04) using only prior data — no lookahead. ⚡ High-Frequency Recent Form: 6 Months Payout table at $0.25 per family per drawing: distinct $37.50 / double $75.00 / triple $225.00 / .
What "plays" means. One play = one $0.25 bet on one boxed family for one drawing.
Total plays = families played per drawing × drawings — e.g. a strategy that plays
1 families every drawing across
547 drawings accumulates
547 plays.
Every single play is settled against an actual archived drawing, and every hit is listed with its date in each
strategy's detail below — nothing here is estimated or modeled.
