Inspired by the work of foundational mathematicians such as Blaise Pascal, Pierre de Fermat, Gerolamo Cardano, and Renato Gianella, I study probability theory and combinatorial mathematics to better understand how lottery outcomes behave under truly random draws. Through this work, I developed a structural way of examining lottery games that focuses on how combinations are distributed and how they behave over time under the law of large numbers.
This research led to the development of my proprietary combinatorial partitioning framework, entirely devised as part of my original work. The framework systematically partitions the number field into LOW-ODD, LOW-EVEN, HIGH-ODD, and HIGH-EVEN categories to analyze structural composition. As this work progressed, I introduced concepts such as long-run frequency ratio, NODS analysis, and PLAY/SKIP indicators to help describe statistical behavior of combinations under randomness.
My goal is to educate lottery player and encourage probability awareness, My work is intended to clarify what mathematics can—and cannot—explain about them.
In 2017, I made this research publicly available at no cost. Over time, I received feedback and questions from readers around the world seeking clearer, more practical ways to apply these ideas. In response, I developed the Lotterycodex calculators in 2019 to automate complex calculations and present mathematical insights in an accessible, user-friendly format, without claims of prediction, control, or guaranteed outcomes.
I am not a professional mathematician, and I do not actively play the lottery, as my financial focus is on the stock market. By profession, I am a full-stack web developer with over 10 years of experience designing, building, and maintaining backend and frontend systems using PHP, HTML, CSS, jQuery, and Vue.js. My work background has taught me how mathematical models can explain complex systems and clarify what can—and cannot—be reliably inferred from numerical outcomes.
When I’m not coding, I love taking my family on picnics by the beach or out in nature, where we enjoy the fresh air, play chess or badminton, or just go for a relaxing walk.
For transparency, I write and publish under the pen name Edvin Hiltner.
