Lottery Statistics - That’s odd.
Skeptics of Lottery Number Patterns and trends don’t hesitate to roll out this statement in defense of their position. “All wagers are equally likely to win.” This may surprise you but I agree with this statement. However, at the same time, I’m not going to play 1-11-19-27-35-47 as a wager in the next drawing. Why not? Because, the wager contains all odd numbers and Lottery Statistics show that this is a poor bet.
Let’s use a graph to make my point. To create the graph, LONA™ will analyze all 25,827,165 possible wagers in the Lotto Texas 6/54 lottery. She will classify each wager by the quantity of odd numbers present in the wager. The bottom of the graph shows how many odd numbers there are in a wager; ranging from 0 to 6. The left side shows how many wagers meet that requirement.
The graph clearly shows that, relatively speaking, there are not very many wagers with 6 odd numbers. In fact, only 1% of all possible winning wagers contain 6 odd numbers. So, the odds are 1:100 that the winning numbers will all be odd. Notice the same is true for 0 odd numbers; in other words all even. Not a good bet.
