Lottery Statistics - The Forgotten Lotteries
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.
