What's wrong with high-number triplets?

They're not 100 percent successful.

Consider the high number combination 52/51

You can't depend every single time on the number 1, or 10, or 30, or 35, for instance, being somewhere within the three-draw sequence.

You might argue, you blog readers, sure, But it happens a LOT!

Sure, I'd whine in response.  Yeah, it happens a lot.  But it's not 100 percent. 

What's the sense of knowing, say, if I see a 52/51 high number combination in a draw on any of the
lotteries, that if 10 isn't in that draw, or in the previous one, that it stands a heck of a good chance of hitting on the next draw?


What's the good in that, I moans?  It doesn't always happen.  Me, I want certainties.  I just want someone to give me the six numbers that are going to hit on the next draw.  Not a bunch of high probabilities I have to work for and maybe buy more than one ticket.

That's why I like dreams and horoscopes, fortune cookies and huckster predictions.  I want certainties.
