Maybe it will help to visualize it as the way it might appear to the numerical equivalent of a large planeload of skydivers, chutes open, looking down on the geography trying to decide which state fairgrounds to land in, aiming for where their buddies are, avoiding where their numerical siblings have already landed.

They all have to have chutes of different colors to keep track of who's who landing where and when.

On the other hand, one of the blessings of landing spang in the time where everyone owns a computer and a spreadsheet a person doesn't have to settle for the way someone else puts a thing together.  It can be stuffed into a grocery bag and carried off to some dark place, brought up on the screen and all the colors made into white and black, for those with limited imagination, or whatever colors happen to suit the occasion, for those who'd rather think of those numbers attending charity balls together, or whatnot.

For me it's a lot easier to see that chart up there as a lot of fields of corn, soybeans, cow pastures, wood lots and meadows, some numerical pilot of a Ford Tri-Motor flying across, instruments showing the numerical equivalent of a loss of oil pressure in two engines, looking for a place to land, than it is as a quilt.  But in a constricted reality I can squeeze myself down into seeing it as a quilt if I must.

Not to seem nit-picking, but the ennui of watching those same numbers re-run year after year during April with that random sameness nobody could use to predict anything just drives me up the wall.  Yes, it does.  Anyone who says it ain't so just hasn't taken a look into my interior lately.

Within the mostly six number draws across the nation I think we all ought to doff our hats out of respect for the surprising run at randomness made yesterday by 6, 8, 11, 21, 26, 27. 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 37.  They all got the same idea at once, but you can't take it away from them that they made one heck of a try, considering.  Seems a few others got the idea, as well, but couldn't make it through the jammed doorway.

Not to suggest their synchronicity could be used to predict anything, but it was quite a coincidence, considering how many times such things happened in April during this and previous years.

very interesting.......

Mike:

Seems interesting to me, also.  But insofar as this draw/date magnetism premise, I'm not sure it helps much.  Drawing date was the 27th, but 27 only hit three times among these 11 large draws.  Not even a third of the draws.  8 hit four times out of the 11, 25 hit four times, 30 hit four times.  Which seems to indicate the date of the draw mightn't have had much influence on why 27 hit 3 out of 11.

Three out of 11 was just about the average, thinks I, for any numbers that hit more than once.  Fairly unimpressive, being average and all.

Jack

Not a good showing for the magnetic 28.  Those five 17s muscled up to the trough, and everyone else pushed and shoved until those poor old 28s just had to take the bottom scrapings.  Every day, the sage asserts, ain't a good one to pick the date as one of your numbers.

What's up with this phenomenon?

aye'

I've noticed a lot of similarities between two of Connecticut's games.  Classic Lotto and Cash 5...but I'm not sure if it's just my imagination trying to see things that aren't really there.  Let me do some research.

JAG,

Just for the record, let me say that I'm not suggesting that there is any kind of fraud or conspiracy. It's more of a synergy. I've noticed this sort of thing going on between these three games for quite some time. It doesn't always happen, but it does happen often enough to get your attention. I just wish that I could figure out some rhyme or reason to it. I can't help but think that it would give me a pretty good leg up on busting one of these games if I could figure out which two (or more) numbers were going to occur in all three of them. Even if I didn't hit the big one, I'd surely cash a lot of nice secondary tickets.

I'd be interested to know what your research reveals. Please keep us posted.

Good luck,

aye'

Looks like number affinities on a larger scale.  I believe some posters call it "traveling numbers." It seems to be most quickly noticeable in Cash 3 where certain two number combinations seem to hit in several states for a couple of days then change to another two somewhere else. 

What you pointed out with .....

.......has also happened in GA with Mega Millions, Lotto South and GA Fantasy 5 with other number combinations from time to time.

I'd guess the more closely you examine what you're observing here, the more inclined you're going to be to cease discussing it until you have an opportunity to digest what you discover.  After that you'll continue feeling that inclination for other reasons.

Just a guess.

Jack

Seems that if any of us could figure it out we'd be sitting pretty with the winning ticket.  It's actually a phenomena which drives people nuts trying to figure it out, to control it ... including lottery directors. 

If you have a handle on it, am all ears!! 

Aye:

I hope no one believed I was suggesting there's any human hand or conspiracy causing all this.  I don't.  If anything I'd suppose there was a tacit agreement on the part of all parties, such as the lottery management, not to give the matter a lot of attention, assuming they know it.

Here's what the MM site tells you when you go there to download history of past draws:

Lottery games such as Mega Millions are random and it is impossible for anyone or any lottery analysis software to predict exactly what will be the next drawn balls.

However, patterns can still be observed from the balls that are randomly drawn for different periods of time.

I'd guess most of the people at MM believe that's true.
