That X in 01 02 04 05 X could end up being 03.

Your suggestion that 1 2 3 4 5 might be on a four year cycle where at least four of them will be drawn together might be worth looking into, could be other combinations have a similar cycle. If one knew which group of five was in cycle, they could improve their odds of winning.

Ohio's website doesn't show those figures but it does show the payout amounts. If you want a more accurate guess then I made in my earlier post then you could do a more involved calculation.

Actually two of the six times 3-4-5 appeared together in a RC5 drawing were in that list.

07/04/12 - 02 03 04 05 34

02/24/12 - 03 04 05 28 36

07/17/10 - 03 04 05 07 21

08/16/06 - 03 04 05 15 30

03/03/06 - 03 04 05 27 33

11/01/05 - 01 03 04 05 19

RJ,

That is tremendous.

It might be worth playing 19-34-35 along with some other numbers, because those three numbers showed that they are independent-minded and will not blindly follow patterns.

It's also interesting that 3-4-5 seem to have no problem getting together in the hopper. Do you happen to know if there have been any other cases where 3-4-5 were in the mix together?

Thanks for posting the interesting results.

I'm guessing since the payout amount was more than twice the normal amounts when no one wins the jackpot, a lot of players played 1 2 3 4 5 and had those numbers won the jackpot would have been divided by more than a hundred winners, each getting less than a thousand dollars.
