The numbers
Randomness means no strategy can guarantee wins; outputs are for entertainment.
How these numbers were picked
Picked the 6 numbers that have gone longest without being drawn: 2 (19 draws), 4 (16 draws), 11 (15 draws), 17 (15 draws), 43 (17 draws), 49 (15 draws). On average a number comes up every 8.2 draws. A long gap does not make a number more likely to be drawn next.
- Take every official draw we hold.
- For each number, count the draws since it last came up.
- Pick the numbers with the longest gaps.
Limits: No number is ever "due". Each draw is independent, so a long gap changes nothing.
Replayed over the last 100 draws, this strategy averaged 0.76 hits a draw. Random numbers average 0.73.
