An effort to make sense out of random winning numbers/draws in last 10 years

Odds of winning the Powerball lottery jackpot is 1:222M. Despite of known understanding that the drawn numbers are completely random, this project is an effort to identify pattern in jackpot winning draws based on the history of Powerball draws.

Note :
This project uses neural network algorithm to classify the draw to be winning or losing. Random number generator tool generates n random draws which are then passed through the Multilayer Perceptron Classifier to find out the winning numbers.
Classifier accuracy has been measured up-to 97.4% (which also means there is 2.6% of tolerance).
It should be noted that the numbers generated by this project may not be the next jackpot, but it certainly increases the chances of winning the jackpot. Generated numbers may not be the next jackpot, but it will eventually be in future draws.

Disclaimer :
This project is mere an experiment. Owner of this project is not responsible of any monetary or emotional loss. Also, owner is not willing to grab any piece of monetary gain done by the generated numbers.
User should understand that the generated numbers are mere suggestions, and not the jackpot…
