Hi All,
Well all of us who didn't win any of those humungous prizes are still in the game
Here are my 'groupings' which may help you out a little. Below I've put some of my observations and things I will consider when picking my tickets. (Always play a couple of randoms though because sometimes I get fixated on particular numbers...almost willing them to be drawn ...that doesn't work btw)
A good way to go if you can only play one or two tickets is three numbers from col#1 and three from col#2 because that's the average for the last 50 draws (as is 3 even numbers and 3 odd numbers... also the average total if you add up the numbers is 154 (ie last draw 2+10+19+36+40+48=155 which coincidentally happened to be pretty close to the average..wierd)..the range of the sums was between 91 and 253 yikes... I try to stay between 120ish and 190ish.)
Col#1 (cold)
in parens are the number of draws since played not including last draw
*1(11)
5(9)

12(14)

Mmmm... tough... no super cold numbers this time to chase. As usual I'm going to play a couple of tickets with only cold numbers... and a couple with at least 4 'played-once' numbers. But in general I play three from each or I do 3 from Col#1 and 2 from Col#2 and 1 from Col#3 (it never ceases to amaze me when 3 get drawn from Col#3...can't prepare for everything though!)
Also, I'm going to play more odd than even numbers because last draw (13th) only one of the seven numbers (including the bonus) was an odd number... maybe even 5 of them... helps narrow down the field a bit.
And... 21-30 has been under-represented for a while and so has 0-10 numbers so I'm going to put more emphasis on those groups...ie:
I really like to play a few tickets or a combo 7 ticket with all cold numbers hoping for that draw where 4 or 5 numbers from the cold column play because with 4 numbers out of 7 (think of how often that happens when you play Super 7...not so far-fetched). If you play combination 7 which costs $14 and you do get 4 numbers...then you get four of the 3/6 prizes ($40) and three of the 4/6 prizes (varies...around $50 often more).
4, 7, 21, 25, 30, 43
5, 7, 23, 25, 26, 34
4, 5, 21, 26, 30, 34
Anyways, just my thoughts.... good luck to all.
Hey...not as much fun as playing for 40 million dollars eh?
