I don't know and neither do I know why whole combinations of numbers start repeating after only 0.3% of the possible combinations have been drawn in every game that I've checked. I only stated what I observed and what I thought further observations might show. Perhaps too many people ideas about random is based on someone theory of randomness rather than what has been observed.

All of the biggest break throughs down through history........have come from the individuals force of will ....as much as anything else.

The ability to absorb all of the set backs and failures and still maintain focus has been key.

P.S. To date ...I have been unable to secure any sort of Government research grant to further my lottery studies. LOL

Why would the system favor a particular grouping of numbers if the drawings are all random

Repeat combinations are common in all lottery games if they have the same matrix long enough. They usually occur after 0.3% of the possible combinations of a matrix have been drawn. Although Ohio Rolling Cash5 (5/39) has had only 1720 drawings since its start-up on 10/04/04, it has already had three repeats and will have more as more drawings take place if it keeps the same matrix. The same thing happened with Buckeye5 (5/37) the game it replaced. If you study these repeat combinations, you may

I don't know if you can predict anything from all those jackpot repeats but I'm glad to see it happens.

And I'm glad to see a lot of them repeat in a year or two also.

I missed a P/5 jackpot 2 years ago by one draw. I had 48 draws with the same numbers and they fell on the 49th draw.

I've started playing those same numbers again and your post gives me a little more hope. Thanks.

Even tho you see these combinations repeating, there is no way to know which of the 575,757 will be the next one to repeat. So, no, I do not see any way this can be used to reduce your odds against losing.

Suggestion: Read all the history here on LP. Go back 5 years and read what others (even those who have been long gone) have to say. There are several excellant suggestions back there. I found one the other day on the blogs. The writer is long gone and probably has forgotten all about LP. I

It is true that over a long period of time, for a true random system, the number of times each ball is drawn will even out. But the problem with this is that this period of time may be hundreds of years with hundreds of thousands of drawings. Most lottery games have only been running a fraction of this time and fluctuations in the number of times balls are drawn is quite normal.

Is Prediction Possible?

Look at these numbers for the Illinois Little Lotto:
