Lottery Statistics - Gold in Them Thar Hills
In the last post Lottery Statistics - The Forgotten Lotteries, we looked at some examples of HOT and Cold numbers for the smallest lotteries. Even though the ratio of HOT to Cold wasn’t 2 to 1, the ratio’s were big enough that they cannot be ignored. Now, the moderate size lotteries are feeling neglected. So today, I decided to create a graph of the HOT/Cold ratios for all the 6 number US and Canadian lotteries. I did not expect to be surprised.
This graph shows the how the ratio of HOT to Cold numbers varies as a function of lottery size. The basic trend line shows exactly what we expected; the ratio of HOT numbers to Cold numbers increases as the size of the lottery increases. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to the points far above and below the trend line. But, as I was writing this post, I knew, that eventually, I would have to deal with them.
When I finally figured out their meaning I was surprised and amazed. I had discovered something I never knew before. There was gold in them thar hills. A few of the data points are far off the line; both above and below. These uncooperative data points actually identified some great opportunities to Improve Your Chances of Winning the Lottery.
For example, there are three lotteries that are far above the trend line; DE635, TX654 and NY659. This means that more HOT numbers than one would expect are hitting in those lotteries. So, the Serious Lottery Player in those states should put more emphasis on the inclusion of HOT numbers in their Play List.
Also, there are about 6 lotteries that are far below the trend line; DC639, WI639, MA646, QUB649, ONT649 and FL653. This means that there are fewer HOT numbers hitting in those lotteries than one would expect. So, the Serious Lottery Player in those states (and provinces) should put less emphasis on the inclusion of HOT numbers in their Play List.
