I. Questions on Pick 3 Wonder Grid Lottery Strategy
- 'Hi, axiomatic ones!
First of all thank you, Ion Saliu, for your softwares and the main lottery strategies you've shared.
For 8 months I painstakingly back-tested my technique based on the WONDER GRID specifically for PICK-3. I'm not sure if it will work for any US pick-3 but I'm using it in the Philippines pick-3 since I'm stationed here. I have been applying this lottery strategy in real life for the last 7 weeks and no negative weeks so far.
I used the last 30 draws to generate the wonder grid. I'll leave it to the readers to determine the PIVOT DRAW or draw from where one should start creating the grid. Nevertheless, what I did is generate all the combinations from that set of 10. For example if line 2 says 2-1-8, then I get the remaining 5 combinations. i don't bet on doubles or triples (i.e. 122 or 333) simply coz its statistically least probable. I bet the combos starting from the 24th to the 27th draws after the pivot.
To Parpaluck, yeah I can send you a part of my winnings as a way to show my gratitude. You already have my email should you choose to send a mailing address or an account number. However, I will only do so every 8th month since the betting here is at P10/set of 3 (US$0.20) and pot is only P4,500 (US$95). If there are no duplicates that's P600 per set of 60 combinations and playing a succession of 4 lottery draws will cost P2400.
Every wire transfer will cost $25 domestic charge and another $4 for international charge. So it would be wiser to collect first and then send more than a marginal amount.
Hope this helps. I tried it on the Philippines pick-4 but the success is not that appealing just yet. I'm still working on that right pivot point for this game. I'll let you know once I've made significant progress.
Until then, cheers! Good betting to you all!'
II. Answer from Ion Saliu, the True Creator of Lottery Wonder Grid
marge_devela:
Thanks for your input, axiomatic colleague of mine. You are on the correct path regarding two of the three fundamental parameters of the wonder grid:
1) parpaluck – for how many past draws to calculate the top pairings;
2) pivot draw – at what point in the past drawings file to generate the pairings.
There is a 3rd parameter: potrocel or the cycle of fruition. That is, for how many drawings to play the same set of top pairs.
It's OK to keep all your winnings to yourself. I was aiming at big time jackpot winners. But there are some legal sensitivities there. I hope to compensate some of my expenses and especially my time by my new adventure in offering advertising at my website.
When I saw the title of your post I thought you were the person who emailed me a few days ago. The person referred to alleged plagiarism by Steve Player of my lottery wonder grid.
Quote:
'I am in possession of a Steve Player system for pick 3 that is called 'Pick-3 Winsheets' he uses a ton of mumbo jumbo to get around copyright infringement. After you weigh through all the bull it is nothing but a Saliu Wonder Grid. Too bad he is able to get away with that stuff. If you would like to have it I will send it to you.'
Apparently, you are not the same sender I am referring to.
Best of luck to everybody, except for the likes of Steve (NOT)Player!

III. The Criminally Incorrigible Steve Player, Lottery System Scammer, Pirate
The cheated-by-Steve-plyer person sent me this follow-up:
'I am a slow reader, so it took me ten minutes…to realize that [Steve Player's “system”] was not even a good copy of Wonder Grids. He covers it up with a pile of bull to hide the plagiarism. I feel like an idiot falling for this stunt ($79.95).'
Steve Pliers“Pick-3 Winsheets” is not even a lottery system. It is a very laborious pencil-and-paper tracking of pick-3 pairings. Count the pick-3 pairs manually and writte them down in rows and columns!
That feature is a simple report in my free software Util-332, option Satistics (Frequency). The program does first the frequency reporting for individual digits, then for pairs, then for boxes (3 digit combinations).
The big difference is in price, of course! Util-332 costs pennies, compared to US$79.95 in Pliers' rip-off! Not to mention that Util-332 does a hundred times more tasks than that…
The fundamental differences: Util-332 is much, much faster, it is less laborious and it is 100% precise. The paper-and-pencil maddening chore is highly error-prone. My lottery software also offers a pairing parameter the Steve Not-Player can't even comprehend: Skip median. Steve Player dangerously advises his customers to play a “hot” pick-3 pair, totally ignoring the median skip!
Another thing stolen from the wonder-grid concept: Add every pick-3 digit to a “hot” pair. The wonder grid is far more effective than that, for it is more solidly founded on mathematics. To make it even worse, Pliers' advises his victimized customers to play only boxes! For starters, playing boxed pick-3 adds an extra 2% to the house edge. But the worst is in the profit. You can read at SALIU.COM that I simply ignore the boxed hits of the wonder grid. The real profit comes in straight hits.
This Steve Player is incorrigible! I wrote about his rip-offs a few years back. Start your reading here:
- Martingale Pick-3, Anyone? Flawed Lottery Systems by Steve Player.
Why don't people google first? But, then, how can some people be so incredibly credulous? Why don't they demand more concrete facts about a system, before buying? I have read some web pages that offer lottery or gambling systems for sale. How can an individual, with just an average intellect, fall in such stinky swamps? On the other hand, Google, with its crazy updates, push my great Web pages down, while lifting to the top of search results a lot of GARBAGE in lottery systems, software, strategies! C'est la vie!
By the way –
The integrated lottery software package PICK 332 offers a multitude of combination generating functions. You can use Power332 with the favorites/exclusions: from 1 of 5 to 3 of 5.
If you want one pick-3 pair to appear in every pick 3 set, use option Favorites, then 2 of 5, then type the 1st digit of the pair, then the 2nd digit in the pair 4 times. You can do the opposite with exclusions (e.g. exclude one pick-3 pair from every lottery combination to play).
The favorites / exclusions functions work far better with horse racing. I do something like: one of the top-5 favorite horses in every trifecta, but never three of them together (the payout is miserable!) I want also at least one of the five longest shots in the trifectas…
The integrated lottery software package PICK 332 was greatly upgraded and renamed Bright3. The Util-332 is still included in the package, but it was greatly superseded by the Super Utilities (on the main menu, out of 4 full-loaded menus).
There are now 7 Bright3 software suites — for pick-3, pick-4 digit lotteries, 5-number lotto, lotto 6, horse racing, roulette, sports betting.
You think you saved lots of money by using my low-priced software and free systems. But why commit the sin of utilizing your savings in buying expensive garbage?!

I’m amazed at a website I found from a guy who calls himself “Steve Player.” The purpose of the site is to sell “winning lottery systems.” I’ve been reading the sales copy on the site, and I thought it might be entertaining to look at some of the claims there and the truth behind those claims.
I hope that you’ve been reading my blog posts for a long time and already realize that the lottery isn’t just a losing proposition. It’s one of the worst bets you can make, mathematically. The payback percentage is dreadfully low.
I’m going to spend a little time in this post explaining how the lottery works just in case you don’t already know. Then I’ll take a closer look at some of “Steve Player’s” claims.
How the Lottery Works
A lottery is any kind of gambling game where you choose numbers and compare them with some randomly drawn numbers to see if the numbers match. If enough of them match, you win money. It’s one of the oldest types of gambling in existence. The name itself comes from the expression “drawing lots,” which was also a form of fortune telling.
Modern lotteries are usually governmental streams of revenue. They generally hire out the administration of the lottery to some kind of outside agency, but they heavily regulate the games and keep most of the money from lottery sales.
The main type of regulating getting done has to do with selling licenses to vendors who want to sell lottery tickets. The other regulating has to do with the age requirements for buying lottery tickets.
While lotteries have been popular off and on for centuries, they’ve only recently begun to make a comeback in the United States over the last 50 years or so. Almost all of the 50 states have some kind of state-run lottery.
Governments love this because they can raise money without raising taxes. This has the unfortunate effect of making the poor even poorer because they’re the ones most likely to play the games. They’re also the socioeconomic class most likely to not understand the math behind the games.
Usually, the prize amounts correspond to a percentage of the revenue brought in from the number of lottery tickets sold.
Most modern lottery games involve selecting an arbitrary number or numbers from within a certain range. Then when the random drawing is held, the lottery player compares the numbers she selected with the winning numbers. If they match, she wins money.
The bigger games have you choosing between five and seven numbers ranging from 1 to 60 or 1 to 70.
The smaller games might have you choose as few as three numbers from 0 to 9.
Of course, the bigger the game is, the bigger the prize pool becomes, but the probability of winning gets smaller. The smaller games have smaller prizes but better odds of winning.
Another possible lottery game is the scratch-off ticket, which doesn’t involve choosing numbers at all. You just buy them. Some of them are winners; some of them are not. With scratch-off games, you find out whether you’ve won instantly. With other lottery games, you must wait for the drawing.
The payback percentages for scratch-off tickets can be higher than the payback percentages for other lottery games, but it depends on a couple of factors.
The first is the denomination of the scratch-off ticket. In that respect, scratch-off tickets are like slot machine games. The higher the denomination, the better the payback percentage.
I remember when scratch-off tickets first rolled out in Texas. They were only available for $1 per ticket.
Now you can buy $5 tickets, $10 tickets, and even $25 tickets.
The other factor is whether they’re using some kind of intellectual property license. Any time a game is using the intellectual property of some other company, the payback percentage will be lower. That’s because the originator of the license gets some money, too.
But even though the payback percentage for these scratch-off tickets is higher than the payoffs for the other lottery games, it’s still dreadfully low compared to almost any casino game. We’re talking about maxing out at a payback percentage of 65%, which means the lottery has a house edge of 35%.
Contrast that with almost any table game in the casino. Even roulette has a payback percentage of over 94%. Blackjack has a payback percentage of 99% or higher, and so do good video poker games.
If you can get to a casino, almost any game there (with the possible exception of keno and some slot machine games) offers better odds than the lottery.
Steve Player’s Lottery Claims
Now I want to start looking at some of the claims you’ll find on Steve Player’s website. (I do like his nom de plume, though — credit where credit is due.)
The first thing I notice on his website is a testimonial.
At least that’s how it’s labeled.
It’s not really a testimonial, though. Here’s how it reads:
John Orton from Virginia used the WYNNWHEEL system to pick the winning numbers for the Virginia Lotto game on August 22nd for a Jackpot prize of $100,000.00. But once wasn’t enough so Mr. Orton kept playing and won again on September 23rd – another Jackpot and another $100,000.00. He now awaits his third Jackpot hit! We wish him the best!!!
A testimonial is a comment from a customer who is happy with your product. It’s not a statement about that customer from the salesperson, which is what the above is.
You might think that’s nitpicky, but we’re talking about someone who’s selling products for hundreds of dollars which are supposed to help you win the lottery. I would think attention to detail is the least you could expect from someone in that situation.
One of the things you should also look at with caution is the excessive use of exclamation points. This applies to any website that’s trying to sell you something.
First, it’s incorrect grammar. The only correct use of an exclamation point is when someone has made an exclamation.
After the hammer hit her thumb, she cried, “Ow!”
People who are selling snake oil seem to like exclamation points more than most. When I’m buying something, I want to read something more informative.
Also, I searched for “john orton Virginia lottery” and got plenty of results, but none of them were about a person named “John Orton” who’d won $100k twice in the Virginia lottery.
I can promise you — if someone wins the lottery for six figures twice in a row, it’s newsworthy, and you’ll find it in a search at either major search engine quickly.
The second thing I notice on the front page of his site is the claim that he’s won $50,000 in a single day in the pick 3 game. When you click on “see more” under that claim, you’re taken to a blog post about his win. That post is dated back to 2017, by the way. Is it possible that Steve Player’s system stopped working after that?
Once you get to that blog post, though, you don’t get any real information — just claims about winnings and a sales pitch.
Everything on this page is written in all caps and uses multiple colors. It’s hard to read. It also contains little real information beyond copies of winning lottery tickets and scans of checks with Steve Player’s winnings. These checks are actually made out to “Steve Player,” too.
How likely is it that this is his real, legal name?
I suppose it’s possible, but…
When I search for “Steve Player New Hampshire” in a major search engine, I only find results from his website and from other lottery websites that are advertising his systems. I don’t see anything in the results to indicate that he’s a real person. (Normally, you’d find something on one of the “white pages” type sites if you searched for a real person’s name.)
I don’t want to make an accusation, but I do want to point out that programs like Photoshop make it easy to modify pictures of things like checks and lottery tickets.
Finally, sure — it’s possible that Steve Player won money playing the pick 3 game. Anyone can win money playing the pick 3 game. You could, in fact, guarantee it — just by buying every possible number.
But even though you’d have a guaranteed win, you’d spend more on lottery tickets than you’ve won. Someone with a real working lottery system would point out his return on investment rather than just his winnings.
It doesn’t matter if you won $50,000 on pick 3 tickets if you bought $100,000 worth of tickets. (For the record, I don’t think that’s what he’s done. I doubt enough people buy his lottery systems for him to be able to afford such a thing. Then again, I might be surprised. After all, we did somehow manage to elect Donald Trump.)
Steve Player’s Story
The first item in the actual menu for the site is called “Our Story.” I clicked on that to see what other information is on the site.
I was greeted by a picture of an older gentleman with a mustache and a strange smirk on his face. I guess if I made my living selling lottery systems, I might not be able to wipe the smirk off my face, either.
The first paragraph talks about how Steve continues to conquer the state lotteries with his “brilliant, award-winning books and playing techniques.”
I wonder what awards his books have won?
I find no mention of any specific awards on the page.
The page continues with a list of the lottery wins he’s booked. He claims to have predicted the winning numbers for 90+ jackpots since 1981. He also says that he’s won the lottery in 21 different states.
Do you think that’s newsworthy?
I know I do.
But remember… when I searched for Steve Player in Google, I found nothing but mentions of him from his own site.
Then he claims that he was a “prodigal mathematician and a gifted computer programmer.” I have my doubts. There’s no Wikipedia article about him, so he hasn’t made himself notable enough to be included there. And if you know much about Wikipedia, you know that the bar for inclusion is low.
He goes on to claim that he put together statistics and charts that helped him predict winning numbers. Since these numbers are determined randomly, this is patently impossible, unless you believe that the numbers aren’t random.
In fact, if you’ve taken even a simple college course that covers probability, you’ll understand that this just isn’t possible at all.
The thing about random events is that you can’t predict them. That’s what “random” means. And lottery drawings are, most assuredly, random.
You’ll also notice that he never shows any of his charts or analysis on his website.
Some of this is just common sense, too. Player claims that he published two newsletters, both of which predicted winning lottery numbers accurately. If these newsletters worked, how quickly do you think word would spread?
And how likely is it that the lottery wouldn’t take some kind of countermeasure?
In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, when card counting first became popular as a legitimate advantage gambling technique, the casinos did everything they could to thwart card counters. They changed the conditions of the game. They banned players from the game and even from their casinos altogether.
Have you heard of anything similar happening in the lottery industry in the last 30 years?
Here’s another way you can contrast the claims of this lottery system with the claims of the card counting authors. The blackjack books actually explained how they came to the conclusions they had. You’ll find no explanations on Player’s website.
One of the things that makes a lie compelling is the amount of detail with the story. My favorite part of this page is the section explaining how Steve Player has moved to a remote log cabin where he spends ALL of his time hidden away developing lottery systems. Apparently, he has seven cats, too (that might be the only thing on this page I believe).
There follows a list of claims about wins that he’s had playing various lottery games. One wonders how he buys lottery tickets from such a remote location.
He also claims to have donated a sum of money to his favorite charity, Children International.
Here’s a sentence that just made me cringe when I read it:
“With Million [sic] of dollars in Lottery winnings under his belt, the proverbial proof is most certainly in the pudding!”
I don’t even have words.
Steve Player Lottery Systems Free
Finally, the entire page is written in the third person, as if someone else had written it about Steve Player.
But then the page is signed, “Good luck, Steve Player.”
Bizarre.
The Truth About the Lottery and Lottery Systems
Please don’t buy lottery systems. It would be better if you didn’t use free systems, either.
If you’re using some kind of system, you’re buying into the validity of that system. Once you’ve done that, you’ll start gambling money you’d be better off not putting into action on one of the worst gambling games you could choose. The odds are just terrible.
I have a friend who’s a conspiracy theorist. He’s absolutely convinced that it’s impossible to win the lottery — that it’s all a hoax.
He’s wrong, of course. They don’t need to concoct an elaborate hoax because the math behind this entirely random game and its payouts guarantees the people running the lottery a profit.
Almost all these lottery systems rely on the gambler’s fallacy or some other logical fallacy to create their system for winning. Some of these systems involve “wheeling” numbers, which just means getting multiple combinations that include a set of numbers.
None of these systems do anything to change the odds in your favor.
Steve Player Lottery Wizard
The only way to increase your probability of winning the lottery is to buy more tickets.
In fact, you can always guarantee that you’ll win the lottery by buying every combination of numbers available.
The problem is that you’ll always win less money than you spent buying those tickets.
As Tom Hanks put it in his now-famous Black Jeopardy skit on Saturday Night Live:
That’s how they get you.
Conclusion
No, lottery systems can’t help you win a life-changing sum of money. In fact, playing the lottery is one of the dumbest things you can do with your money.
But if you’re looking for some cheap entertainment, read some of the sales copies on some of these terrible lottery system websites. My favorite so far is Steve Player’s.
Outlandish!
