I have posted another thread entitled Filters, and the impact associated with using them which I discuss my strategy of playing the UK Lotto with REVISED LOWER & UPPER limits. The UK Lotto currently stands at 1,796 draws to date, whereas the Canadian Lotto currently stands at 3,040 draws to date. I thought I would compare the two Lotto's with respect to what are the ACTUAL LOWER & UPPER limits of draws to date.
I used quite a few analysis for the comparison, and as you would expect the LOWER & UPPER limits were either identical or within ONE either way, EXCEPT the following:-
(1) Decade 2 (numbers 20-29) - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM numbers drawn is 6, whereas the Canadian is 4.
(2) Odd Sum - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM odd sum is 197, whereas the Canadian is 216.
(3) Even Sum - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM even sum is 200, whereas the Canadian is 204.
(4) Total Combination Sum - the UK shows that the MINIMUM sum is 59, whereas the Canadian is 45.
(5) Total Combination Sum - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM sum is 245, whereas the Canadian is 263.
(6) The THIRD sorted number MINUS the SECOND - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 33, whereas the Canadian is 37.
(7) The FOURTH sorted number MINUS the THIRD - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 37, whereas the Canadian is 39.
(8) The FIFTH sorted number MINUS the FOURTH - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 34, whereas the Canadian is 38.
(9) The SIXTH sorted number MINUS the FIFTH - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 33, whereas the Canadian is 36.
(10) The MAXIMUM ball number in POSITION 1 - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 34, whereas the Canadian is 38.
(11) The MAXIMUM ball number in POSITION 2 - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 40, whereas the Canadian is 43.
(12) Lexicographic Index Number - the UK shows that the MINIMUM number is 4,337, whereas the Canadian is 359.
(13) Lexicographic Index Number - the UK shows that the MAXIMUM number is 13,977,730, whereas the Canadian is 13,983,334.
As you can see, although these numbers difference seem relatively small, they are NOT, not in the overall picture of things.
The differences are probably due to the fact that the total draws to date have a difference of 1,244 draws between the two Lotto's. This is what you would probably expect because of the difference in the total draws to date, and could possibly be significant with respect to the future trend of LOWER & UPPER numbers to come in future UK draws.
"I will say however that I know EACH combination has as much chance as ANY other of being drawn, and that Lotto balls have NO memory."
I just thought I would share my findings for what it's worth.
