Purple Lottery 3

[ezamover]

I like the way you split up your numbers between evens and odds. Certainly seems reasonable. What's your opinion on how to distribute 15 numbers over 49 possibilities. At first I thought you picked 3 numbers for each group of ten. I see you picked 4 numbers in the thirties, but only 2 numbers in the forties. If I follow your reasoning for the odd/even numbers, I'd have thought you'd have picked 3 in the thirties and 3 in the forties. LW

It does not matter how many numbers are in the lotto system.
The stat's state that the largest pool of possible winning numbers is a 50/50 odd even mix.

Yes .. my picks were a little bit skewed .. and you are right it should have been more in the forties.

As for changing my numbers ... well ... they are published now.
If I don't win in this round and there is that one purple to go, someone might use them and I don't want half a purple !

5 people eliminated, some large number holders too... a 15, a 13 and two with 12.
14 people remain, highest number of matches was 3.

So, what does that leave? This is just an educated guess....
9 numbers: 2
10 numbers: 3
11 numbers: 1
12 numbers: 1
13 numbers: 2
14 numbers: 1
15 numbers: 4

You're pretty much bang on. Here are the figures...
7 numbers: 1
8 numbers: 1
9 numbers: 1
10 numbers: 3
11 numbers: 0
12 numbers: 1
13 numbers: 2
14 numbers: 1
15 numbers: 4

Average number of matches from each draw so far...
Draw 1: 1.60
Draw 2: 1.68
Draw 3: 1.76
Draw 4: 1.77
Draw 5: 1.67
Draw 6: 1.63
Draw 7: 2.00
Draw 8: 1.84
Draw 9: 2.00

Just realized that's the first appearance of 48 since April 6th.

If you look at the number of possible draws in a 6 number lotto game the largest potential pool of numbers being called is 3 even and 3 odd.

That's why I selected a 50/50 split on odd and even numbers.

See, that's the problem. This has 7 numbers... 48/52 split since there is 1 more odd number than even. If you had taken that into account you might have won last round
