Odds are the same for any 3 or 4 numbers.Maggie said:Does anybody know what the odds are for 3 or even 4 cold numbers coming up in a single draw? And has it ever happened?
Now, cold to me means skipped 10 or more draws. Given that definition, at least 1 number that hits will be cold.
Last time we had 3 was 1934 (Aug 3/2002), the time before that was 1925 (July 3/2002).
Last time we had 4 - 1869 (Dec 19, 2001), time before that was 1857(Nov 7, 2001)
The best draw for long-shots you ask? Based on what I have there have been 9 draws with 5 long-shots in the total history.
There have been 32 draws in the whole history with at least 1 number that has skipped 40 or more draws.
The draw with the longest was 333 April 1/1987 - the 28 finally hit after 72 draws April fools won that one
Bottom line: You need to play some cold ones if you want some winners.
