Think this:

There is a pick 6 lotto with 40 numbers organized in Lottoland.

Playing all odd numbers, means playing 50% of all the numbers.

Playing 50% of all numbers, does not mean that you have 50% of all chances to win the jackpot.

Solve this:

What is the chance for a 6/6 when playing all odd numbers in a full system

Hello, Frank the lottery 49/6

We have the digit 1 (one) 14 times since the digits 5,6,7,8,9 his short amount of

These digits is 5 times the digit one (1) is nine times more

Just divide the total by the number of hits, lets say you have 37 jackpot drawings and 7 of those

have #1 as the first number. 7/37=18.89, rounded it would be 19%

Serge, did you read the thread in Tia's response?

In the Fla Mid digit 8 hit yesterday in P1 879. The digit 8 has hit 199 times. Out of those 199 hits, the digit 8 has hit at skip 1, skips 10-19, 34% or a total of 67 times. That is pretty close to Thoth's post.

The digit 8 has not repeated since 4/30/14, might be a good day for a repeat.

Frank,

Sounds like you are looking for information on Benford's Law as it applies to the lottery.

This excellent post explains in detail. Enjoy

How? Show an example of what you mean by saying overdue it. Otherwise it doesn't carry any weight. It's just like saying nothing.

Some members overdue it with percentages. I think its a waste of time. Better to work with recently hit numbers etc.

Lotto = a type of game

Math = mathematics, basically algebra

Percentage notation: basically an integer value followed by %-sign

Percentage value: small value divided by big value, multiplied by hundred and rounded.

5%: 5 * 1/100 = 5/100 = 0.05 = .05

Good idea to quote the post and/or provide a link. That way er all know what we are talking about.

No percentages are based on lotto math.

How do you differentiate regular math from lottery math? I use regular math when I calculate lottery odds.

Calculating Percentages in Lotto?

Frank Renda — Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:17:35 GMT

Hi!

I Think I Known the answer on this but I want to Make Sure!

I found a Post that Claims that!

Number 1 shows up most in winning number Jackpot combos!

I Would Like to test the Percentage of That Claim!

I Know that Percent means out of 100

50% means 50 per 100

25% means 25 per 100

I Just want to Make sure that when Calculating I am Dealing with Regular Math and not Lotto Math!

Thanks

Frank
