Pick 4 +1 Rundown

Step 1:

For this method, you will start by getting the previous winning draw for your state.  In this example, we will use the winning numbers of 6381 that were drawn on March 21, 2018 in Texas.

To begin this method, you will set up your winning numbers into 4 separate columns.

6  3  8  1

Step 1:

Now that we have the columns set up, we will go down each column and add “1” until we reach the original winning numbers.  Remember with lottery math, when you reach the number “9”, the next number will be “0” since we do not use double digits in these games.

6  3  8  1

7  4  9  2

8  5  0  3

9  6  1  4

0  7  2  5

1  8  3  6

2  9  4  7

3  0  5  8

4  1  6  9

5  2  7  0

6  3  8  1

Step 3:

Now that our columns are complete, we will determine what the Date Sum is.  To get the Date Sum, you simply add the month and day together from the date of the winning draw.  In this example, our winning draw date was 03/21/18. 

Draw Date = 03/21

Date Sum = 3+21 = 24.  Since we have a double digit, we will drop the 1^st number and keep the second number which would make our date sum “4”.

Step 4:

Now that we have our date sum, we will highlight all of the “4”s in our columns.

6  3  8  1

7  4  9  2

8  5  0  3

9  6  1  4

0  7  2  5

1  8  3  6

2  9  4  7

3  0  5  8

4  1  6  9

5  2  7  0

6  3  8  1

Step 5:

Look for any number combinations that are surrounding the highlighted “4”s in your columns.
