Time for some "mid-month" analysis. (And I'm using the term "analysis" very loosely)
With last night's drawing, 75 out of a total of 150 balls that will be drawn in Sept have been drawn. The ten's are in the lead with 25 balls drawn. The twenty's and thirty's are almost tied at 17 and 18 balls respectively. The units are at 15 balls drawn. With the exception of one drawing, every drawing this month that contained a number in the thirty's, had two numbers from the thirty's be drawn.
Hits per month is lead by the 17 at six times drawn. The 13 and 14 have each been drawn four times, and there are five numbers yet to be drawn this month. (5, 10, 20, 27, & 38) I'm going to start playing them regularly because only four times this year has it happened that a number had zero hits in any given month. (All 39 numbers are usually drawn at least one time per month. Most numbers average four hits per month.)
On an annual (year to date) basis the 17 and the 1 are out front. 17 has 46 hits and the 1 has 42. Both of those numbers had 21 of their total hits for the year happen in the last 100 drawings held since June 8th. They're tied for the most hits in the last 100 drawings. So most of their hits happened this past summer. I think there's a very good chance they'll get to 55 or more hits in 2014.
So now that I've written all of this good junk about what happened in the past, what's gonna happen in the future???? I'll be darned if I know!! But here's my scientific wild guess: The 21 dropped last night, and I've been waiting for that to happen. I think it's beginning to make a move. That's because it hit six times in August (above the average of four times per month that most numbers hit) and it's hit twice this month. It's the second lowest number drawn this year (24 times) and it's gotta get to the low to mid thirty's by year end. So that makes me think it's been waking up since August, and it will probably hit ten more times this year. I think it's going to hit at least five times this month, so I'm going to play it regularly until Sept 30th. It hasn't repeated much at all this year, so just on a hunch, I'll play it tonite. G5
