What's mathematically fallacious with Edvin Hiltner's Lotterycodex patterns, to maximize your chance of winning lotteries? [closed]

I distrust Edvin Hiltner's guidance, but for skepticism unrelated to math. 1. This website is asking for payment in USD for its "patterns". Buyer beware! A fool and his money are soon parted.

If this alleged gambit worked, then

  1. many more lottery players would tout it. Lotteries would foil it.

  2. why would the author publicize it, and abandon his/her own secret advantage? Analogously, most hedge funds are "black-box operations" and keep their details "proprietary".

But my skepticism isn't mathematical, because I'm too unskilled at probability. Kindly debunk this flimflam mathematically?

I ask this to protect and inform the public against this swindle. I am not affiliated with, or backed by, this possible website.
