Thanks to libra Dave for providing the charts to allow an easy look for this type of esoterica (https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/118968 ).

This sort of thing would be near-impossible to try to scrutineer if someone didn’t put in an enormous amount of time and energy compiling the information.

Dave did.

I haven’t gotten deeply enough into it to be able to conclude anything decisively, but there does appear to be a correlation between high number combinations and moon phases, based on the results of last night. The 50/48 plus one or another of the numbers that hit last night appear to hit under a New Moon a surprisingly high percentage of the time. Here are those combos from all lotteries in the LP history:
