Interesting combination in the U.K.

[GillesD]

I do not know if anybody here noticed the latest result in the U.K 6/49 lottery: the winning numbers are 20 - 21 - 23 - 24 - 27 - 28, all numbers in the same decade.

Besides all numbers in the same decade with its low probability (only 924 combinations or 0.0066%), you could say that the difference between the highest and lowest number being less or equal to 8 (28 - 20 = 8) also has few possible combinations (2,324 or 0.0166%) as well as the 2-2-2 split of consecutive numbers (with at least on number between each pair) also with not a hery high probability (13,244 combinations or 0.0947%).

If you combine those 3 conditions, you are left with only 140 possibilities (or 0.0010% of all combinations), not very far from the 44 combinations with 6 consecutive numbers. So it does not seem as far out as some would say to expect a winning combination with 6 consecutive numbers soon (or relatively soon) somewhere in this galaxy.

I have a 19 line match two wheel that would have landed me with £1500, but did I bother to play? No

Interesting, besides playing 6 consecutives numbers playing 5 consecutives with a power number could do it!
If someone is patient enough it could happen!
Very interesting!

Yeah, I have noticed too, but have any of you notice how many people got the jackpot?
7 PEOPLE!!!, Althogh it is a rare combination, many people still play it.

By the way I am new on this forum, and I was was looking to open a new threat specially for lotto Uk, and Spanish lotto, to try to crack on these lotto games.
I would like to get involve to Timmycard, as I saw you were doing prety well on the reno one.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks in anvantage.

It happened in Belgium Timmy, 5 consecutive numbers. But here also, quite a lot of winners. Apparently, it's a popular system.

Consecutive numbers

In the three lotteries I follow (Canadian 6/49, Quebe 49 and U.K. 49), with 5,077 draws combined, two 5-consecutive numbers combinations have come out up to now or 0.0394%, compared to an expected value of 0.0135%.

A better system is avoiding popular number-patterns, like consecutive numbers, birthdays (highest number 31), etc... Same chance of winning with less chance there's going to be more than one winner
