The variance "bowl" formed by jackpot white balls
Published:
While the app was meant to present the data, not necessarily a pick, certain interesting things emerge from the statistics.
Here it is noticing that in a sorted order, the samples for the white balls in the bonus games PB/MM AND the regular non replacement games Cash 5/Match 6/Treasure Hunt all have something in common...
Variance, when plotted, looks like the vertical cross section of a bowl (a U shape). Higher at the first and last columns, which is likely due to the constraints of sorted order. While the variance is not exactly the same in each game, they all exhibit a similar bowl shape, like an inverted bell curve.
Not sure how that would help with a pick, but the shape persists across all of the non replacement games. The bowl is not symmetric, both power ball and mega millions have a slightly higher variance in the last column vs. The first.
Continuing to study the stats for further such information...
