Thanks, Carbob!

Not quite sure what you mean by singles ? This isn't a very interesting distribution since they hit all the time, only skipping one or two draws once in a while.

However, I will include a handy do it yourself kit for figuring out where in the distribution a value lies.

First, set up a table in excel to record your statistic (repeats, doubles, etc., what ever you want). You want to set up an IF statement which assigns a value of 0 to a hit and adds one to every non-hit va... [ More ]

First, you probably should have asked this question over on the Math board.

Personally, I view the distribution as one of the most important pieces of information we have in playing lotto.

Just as an example, lets look at Pick 3 Doubles. We know they come along about every 4 draws, but that single average statistic is not that useful when a double hits immediately after another double, or doubles go missing for a week or more.

The distribution of the skip of doubles looks like this

Some of the members here on LP think that they can predict the lottery. They post 100 numbers for each game and when one finally hit, they become self proclaimed experts.

There are many offers on software that use binomial distribution and other distribution statistics. But I found nothing that could help me to predict the lottery numbers.

Yes, it is useful for debunking common lottery myths and systems.

hmmmm...inter....esting!!

Since you put it in layman terms...I'm all for Binominominal Distribution then.

Binomial Distribution is base on Probability. It's nothing but random variables.

A binomial random variable X is defined to the number of successes in n independent trials where

the P( success ) = p is constant.

In other words, if you throw a coin up in the air, the probability of heads facing up is 50% and the other 50%.

Dang!

That is way over my head.

Care to elaborate on this
