I use ai to do data Mining for real world statistics into a rank of categories one for each power ball. Then I have the ai do various research to fill those categories with info.   I then pick powerballs based on certain criteria.  the results are random, but not random as they are linked to world events.

Prompt:make an algorithm that picks PowerBall numbers based on current events of the world. make a system for categorizing world events into 69 categories. include positive things like total number of births in the world. negative things like total deaths. total conflicts, total summits. scan the world news adding to each category a number for incidences. Then using the new average of all 69 pick the 5 with the most % change from the same category with data from 6 months ago.

Algorithm for Picking PowerBall Numbers Based on World Events

This algorithm generates 5 main PowerBall numbers (from 1 to 69) by tying them to categorized world events. It does not generate the PowerBall bonus number (1-26), as that wasn't specified in the query— you could extend the system to 26 categories for that if desired. The process is as follows:

  1. Define 69 Categories: World events are grouped into 69 numbered categories, balancing positive (e.g., births, discoveries), negative (e.g., deaths, conflicts), and neutral (e.g., elections, festivals) themes. These are fixed and comprehensive to cover global happenings like those you mentioned (births, deaths, conflicts, summits). Here's the list:
    1. Global Births
    2. Global Deaths
    3. Marriages/Weddings
    4. Divorces/Separations
    5. Earthquakes
    6. Floods
    7. Hurricanes/Typhoons
    8. Volcanic Eruptions
    9. Wildfires
    10. Accidents (traffic, plane, etc.)
    11. Terrorist Attacks
    12. Armed Conflicts
    13. Peace Treaties
    14. Diplomatic Summits
    15. Political Elections
    16. Protests/Demonstrations
    17. Riots/Unrest
    18. Scientific Discoveries
    19. Technological Inventions
    20. Space Explorations
    21. Sports Championships
    22. Economic Expansions
    23. Recession Announcements
    24. Stock Market Surges
    25. Stock Market Crashes
    26. Job Market Growth
    27. Unemployment Increases
    28. Medical Advances
    29. Pandemic Outbreaks
    30. Vaccination Campaigns
    31. Environmental Conservations
    32. Pollution Disasters
    33. Wildlife Protections
    34. Species Endangerments
    35. Technological Advances
    36. Cultural Festivals
    37. Criminal Activities
    38. Law Enforcement Actions
    39. Cybersecurity Breaches
    40. Corporate Mergers
    41. Business Bankruptcies
    42. Charity Initiatives
    43. Political Scandals
    44. Leadership Resignations
    45. New Appointments
    46. Educational Achievements
    47. School Incidents
    48. Literary Releases

    58. Human Rights Campaigns
    59. Human Rights Abuses
    60. International Aid Programs
    61. Economic Sanctions
    62. Trade Agreements
    63. Tariff Impositions
    64. Tourism Developments
    65. Travel Restrictions
    66. Award Ceremonies
    67. Innovation Awards
    68. Health Crises
    69. Positive Community Stories
  2. Scan World News for Incidences: Use search tools to retrieve major world events for the current period (e.g., the past week or month) and the same period 6 months ago. For each event, map it to the most relevant category and increment a count (incidences) based on distinct mentions or occurrences. If an event fits multiple categories, assign it to the primary one to avoid double-counting. Categories with no matches get a count of 0.
  3. Calculate % Change: For categories with data from 6 months ago (past count > 0), compute the percentage change: % \text{ change} = \frac{(\text{current count} - \text{past count})}{\text{past count}} \times 100 Handle past count = 0 by skipping (no baseline for change) or treating new incidences as +∞ if desired, but here we focus on categories with historical data as per your query. Negative changes indicate a decrease.
  4. Use the New Average and Pick 5: Compute the average incidences across all 69 categories for the current period (total current incidences divided by 69). This "new average" acts as a benchmark—only consider categories where current count exceeds this average for selection eligibility, ensuring picks reflect above-average activity. Then, from eligible categories with past data, select the 5 with the highest % change (prioritizing positive growth to capture "rising" events).
  5. Generate Picks: The selected category numbers become the 5 PowerBall picks (sorted ascending). Repeat periodically as news evolves for fresh picks.

Implementation for Today (September 7, 2025)

Using the current date, I scanned major world events for "current" (proxy: September 2024 data as latest available)and 6 months ago (March 2024).Key events were extracted and categorized (e.g., Sudanese offensives and Middle East escalations to #12: Armed Conflicts; health announcements for British royals to #68: Health Crises; pager attacks on Hezbollah to #11: Terrorist Attacks).

  • Total current incidences: ~50 across categories (e.g., high in conflicts and disasters).
  • New average: ~0.72 incidences per category.
  • Eligible categories (past >0, current > average): #11 (0% change), #12 (450% change), #17 (0%), #44 (0%), #68 (100%).

Top 5 by % change: #12, #68, #11, #17, #44.

Picked PowerBall Numbers: 11, 12, 17, 44, 68. Power ball i excluded, but could use some equally similar process to pick one.

Algorithm for Picking PowerBall Numbers Based on USA Events

This algorithm generates 5 main PowerBall numbers (from 1 to 69) by tying them to categorized USA events, adapted from the original world-focused version. It does not generate the PowerBall bonus number (1-26). The process is as follows:

  1. Define 69 Categories: USA events are grouped into the same 69 numbered categories as before, balancing positive (e.g., births, discoveries), negative (e.g., deaths, conflicts), and neutral (e.g., elections, festivals) themes. These are fixed and comprehensive to cover USA happenings like those you mentioned (births, deaths, conflicts, summits), but focused on USA-specific or USA-affecting events. The list remains unchanged for consistency.
  2. Scan USA News for Incidences: Use search tools to retrieve major USA events for the current period (e.g., the past month) and the same period 6 months ago. For each event, map it to the most relevant category and increment a count (incidences) based on distinct occurrences. If an event fits multiple categories, assign it to the primary one to avoid double-counting. Categories with no matches get a count of 0.
  3. Calculate % Change: For categories with data from 6 months ago (past count > 0), compute the percentage change: % \text{ change} = \frac{(\text{current count} - \text{past count})}{\text{past count}} \times 100 Handle past count = 0 by skipping (no baseline for change). Negative changes indicate a decrease.
  4. Use the New Average and Pick 5: Compute the average incidences across all 69 categories for the current period (total current incidences divided by 69). This "new average" acts as a benchmark—only consider categories where current count exceeds this average for selection eligibility, ensuring picks reflect above-average activity. Then, from eligible categories with past data, select the 5 with the highest % change (prioritizing positive growth to capture "rising" events).
  5. Generate Picks: The selected category numbers become the 5 PowerBall picks (sorted ascending). Repeat periodically as news evolves for fresh picks.

Implementation for Today (September 7, 2025)

Using the current date, I scanned major USA events for "current" (proxy: September 2024 data as latest available)and 6 months ago (March 2024/2025 proxy).Key events were extracted and categorized (e.g., school shooting to #47: School Incidents; Diddy arrest to #37: Criminal Activities; presidential debate and campaign actions to #15: Political Elections; assassination attempt to #11: Terrorist Attacks; hurricanes to #7: Hurricanes/Typhoons; bridge collapse to #10: Accidents).

  • Total current incidences: 21 across categories (e.g., high in political elections and law enforcement actions).
  • New average: ~0.30 incidences per category.
  • Eligible categories (past >0, current > average): #10 (100% change), #15 (150% change), #20 (0%), #37 (-33%), #38 (300%), #43 (0%).

Top 5 by % change: #38, #15, #10, #20, #43.

Algorithm for Picking PowerBall Numbers Based on USA Commodities

This algorithm generates 5 main PowerBall numbers (from 1 to 69) by tying them to categorized commodities, adapted from the previous USA-focused version. It does not generate the PowerBall bonus number (1-26). Since the categories are now commodities instead of events, the "incidences" metric is replaced with price changes (more relevant for commodities), scanned from USA market data or global data impacting USA (e.g., imported commodities). The process is as follows:

  1. Define 69 Categories: Commodities are grouped into 69 numbered categories, covering major traded ones in USA markets, including energy, metals, agriculture, livestock, and softs. The list is compiled from common traded commodities to reach 69 for PowerBall alignment:

    1. Crude Oil
    2. Brent Crude
    3. Natural Gas
    4. Gold
    5. Silver
    6. Copper
    7. Aluminum
    8. Zinc
    9. Nickel
    10. Iron Ore
    11. Steel
    12. Coal
    13. Wheat
    14. Corn
    15. Soybeans
    16. Coffee
    17. Sugar
    18. Cotton
    19. Cocoa
    20. Live Cattle
    21. Lean Hogs
    22. Gasoline
    23. Heating Oil
    24. Platinum
    25. Palladium
    26. Tin
    27. Lead
    28. Soybean Oil
    29. Soybean Meal
    30. Canola
    31. Palm Oil
    32. Rubber
    33. Oats
    34. Rice
    35. Ethanol
    36. Lumber
    37. Orange Juice
    38. Feeder Cattle
    39. Pork Bellies
    40. Milk
    41. Cheese
    42. Butter
    43. Propane
    44. Uranium
    45. Lithium
    46. Cobalt
    47. Molybdenum
    48. Manganese
    49. Potash
    50. Urea
    51. DAP
    52. Sulfur
    53. Methanol
    54. Naphtha
    55. LNG
    56. Electricity
    57. TTF Gas
    58. Tea
    59. Beef
    60. Poultry

    62. Sunflower Oil
    63. Olive Oil
    64. Peanut Oil
    65. Coconut Oil
    66. Wool
    67. Pulp
    68. Rhodium
    69. Indium

  2. Scan USA Commodity Data for Prices: Use market data sources to retrieve current prices (as of September 2025) and prices from 6 months ago (March 2025). Focus on USA-traded or USA-impacted commodities (e.g., CME futures, NYMEX).

  3. Calculate % Change: % \text{ change} = \frac{(\text{current price} - \text{past price})}{\text{past price}} \times 100 Skip if no historical data. Negative changes indicate decreases.

  4. Use the New Average and Pick 5: Compute the average % change across all 69 categories for the current period. Use this "new average" as a benchmark—only consider categories with % change > average for selection eligibility. Then, from eligible categories, select the 5 with the highest (positive) % change to capture "biggest" rising commodities.

  5. Generate Picks: The selected category numbers become the 5 PowerBall picks (sorted ascending). Repeat as prices update.

3 More Complex Topics for Picking PowerBall Numbers

To build on the previous algorithms, here are three increasingly complex topics for generating PowerBall picks (5 numbers from 1-69), each tied to real-world data with multi-layered analysis: multiple data sources, aggregated metrics, and cross-factor influences (e.g., economic ties, volatility indices, or environmental correlations). These require broader data scanning, including historical baselines, volatility adjustments, and interdependencies (e.g., how one metric affects another), making them more intricate than events or commodities.

  1. Stock Market Indices and Companies Performance: Categories based on major global stock indices and top companies' market caps or prices. Complexity added by factoring in volatility (e.g., VIX influence), sector interlinks (e.g., tech impacting indices), and economic indicators like GDP correlations affecting % changes.
  2. Cryptocurrency Prices and Market Metrics: Categories from major cryptos, including prices, trading volumes, and blockchain metrics (e.g., hash rates). Complexity from high volatility, cross-asset correlations (e.g., Bitcoin dominance affecting alts), and external factors like regulatory news or energy consumption data.
  3. Global Climate and Weather Metrics: Categories of climate indicators like temperature anomalies, precipitation levels, and extreme events across regions. Complexity via spatiotemporal data (e.g., seasonal adjustments), interconnections (e.g., El Niño effects), and proxy impacts (e.g., on agriculture or energy demand).

For each, the algorithm mirrors prior ones: 69 categories, scan current (Sep 2025) vs. 6 months ago (Mar 2025) for % change in key metric (e.g., price, anomaly), compute new average % change, select eligible (> average), pick top 5 highest % change categories' numbers (sorted ascending).
