Lottery Statistics

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.

Lottery Statistics

In the last post Lottery Statistics - Some Like It HOT, we looked at some examples of lotteries where HOT Numbers hit twice as often as Cold Numbers. You may have noticed that the size of these lotteries were large; 59, 54 and 49 numbers.  But, what about the lotteries that are the smallest in size; let’s say in the range of 25 to 31. That’s the topic for today’s post.

If, in the next 100 drawings, 6 numbers are drawn out of a pool of 50 numbers, a total of 600 numbers will be drawn.  Therefore, each number would occur 12 times on the average. Of course, we know from Lottery Statistics that some will be cold and hit fewer times and some will be hot and hit more times. But, if 6 numbers are drawn out of a pool of 25 numbers, each number will occur on the average of 24 times. The smaller the size of the lottery, the more often each number will be drawn.

So, how does this affect our discussion of HOT and Cold numbers?  First, the difference between the number of Hits for HOT numbers and Cold numbers will shrink.  Instead of a difference of 2 to 1, it might be 1.5 to 1.  Second, it doesn’t change our Lottery Strategies at all.  Because, the impact of a 1.5 to 1 ratio of HOT numbers to Cold numbers for the smaller lottery is the same as 2 to 1 for the larger lottery. So, regardless of the size of the lottery, to Improve Your Chances you must include HOT numbers in your Play List.

Now, let’s look at some examples of HOT and Cold numbers statistics for smaller sized lotteries. Actually, this is quite nice to see the smaller lotteries get some attention.  Typically, the smaller lotteries are treated like orphans because the size of their lottery jackpots is small compared to the larger lotteries. Therefore, consider this post to be my stand in defense of fair play, honesty and decency for those less fortunate,  forgotten lotteries in this cruel world.

In the PA530 lottery the coldest number hit 71 times and the Hottest number hit 113 times. The ratio of HOT to Cold is 1.59.

In the WV625 lottery the coldest number hit 74 times and the Hottest number hit 107 times. The ratio of HOT to Cold is 1.46.

In the WI531 lottery the coldest number hit 93 times and the Hottest number hit 135 times. The ratio of HOT to Cold is 1.45.

In the MN531 lottery the coldest number hit 91 times and the Hottest number hit 132 times. The ratio of HOT to Cold is 1.45.

These Lottery Statistics don’t lie, so don’t forget to add those HOT numbers to your Play List.
