Here's some more Number Group data to bore you to tears.....
The Singles Number Group has 9,431 hits over the life of FF5 (7,529 drawings through last night). #1 is the biggest hitter in the Group with 1,100.
The Teen's Number Group has 10,446 hits through 7,529 drawings with #16 being the biggest hitter in this group with 1,085 hits.
The Twenty's Number Group has 10,337 hits through last night and #27 is the biggest all time hitter in the Twenty's with 1,080 hits.
The Thirty's Number Group has 7,391 hits through last night and #35 is the biggest hitter in the group with 1,081.
If the above isn't proof that "everything equals out over time" I don't know what is! Even the Thirty's with just seven numbers in the group (as compared to the others which have nine and ten, so members of The Thirty's Group has fewer opportunities to be drawn) is hanging in there with #35. #1 is the biggest hitter of all time.
As far as playing positionaly goes, you always want a single digit number in The First Position. For The Teens, you always want a Teen in The Second Position, for The Twentys, playing a number in the Twentys in Position number four is best. Finally you always want a number in the Thirty's in The Fifth (last) position.
The above paragraph applies to when you are playing numbers from those groups. Of course, if you're not playing a number from those groups, everything changes. For instance, not having a number from the Thirty's on a line (they hit the least so if you have a ten line ticket, six lines should include a number in the Thirty's but it's OK for four lines not to have any number from the Thirty's) then having two numbers from the Twenty's in the fourth and fifth position is fine.
