Posted numbers are accurate for 5/56 without the bonus ball. If you wanted to include the bonus ball number in the sums (5/56 + 1/46) the results are radically different:

191 - 1494370

153 - 1235057

154 - 1749272

198 - 1309852

202 - 1196446

176 - 1774569

134 - 1309852

136 - 1364791

155 - 1762452

209 - 993377

TL - 14190038

I used a VBasic program to wend through all possibilities and count the given sums - no math involved.
