I think it will ultimately be dissapointing like the last of his stunts, after the Russian roulette one I lost interest in him.

If he nails all the numbers then he's done something lame, if he gets a few right then hes gotten lucky. There are many ways to make more informed choices while playing the lottery, but require a lot of software to track all the past winners and trends and hot and cold numbers.

Well you've certainly missed out there mate- he's done some of his best work since then.
Try and track down 'Evening of Wonders' -its very good.

If I understand you here, I think you're falling into the classic gamblers fallacy. Just because the number 41 (for example) has been picked out more times, that does nothing to effect the odds next time. Even if 41 came out as a number 10000 weeks in a row, it would still have the same odds.
No computer software can help you in this regard.
Now, perhaps the kind of thing you are hinting at, is if you track the machines, and the sets of balls, perhaps tiny imperfections in the balls/machines might effect the odds very slightly, but I don't believe it's to a level where you could ever use that to your advantage.
