Even though I guess this is a just a side quest coincidence, in the 7:50 draw either digit 1, or digit 9 has hit in every draw in April or 25 consecutive draws. Basically digit 9 has hit a lot in month of April.

Maybe box, singles, with highest winning digit of 6 or 7 for a $50 side quest bet. You would have 15 tries to break even on the bet if playing online.

All box online some boxed in store, for straights each single combination has 120 different ways it can come out. 24659 120 different ways. Only the popular ones 12345,54321 etc were sold out straight.

There's a Boxed Win, Any Order and There's a Straight Win, Exact Order.

With Boxed wins, there are 252 combinations

and within one Boxed set A B C D E there are 120 permutations;

which makes Straight wins 252 x 120 = 30,240 combinatoric permutations.

Just saw this after I posted on the same topic. I noticed it today while just seeing what numbers were coming out in states other than FL. I was shocked. Any student of the games knows this is beyond abnormal. I can't imagine what DC players think. Definitely looks like an inside job. And its the only simple way to fix the game with favorable odds guaranteeing tax-free prizes.

if dc lottery goes the entire month of april drawing only singles for pick 5 twice a day, and i believe they will, the probability of that happening randomly due to chance is 0.3024^60. that works out to odds of 1 in 14,624,896,128,737,864,992,086,076,360,054. that is a 32-digit number.

In our opinion, Either Knowingly Or Unknowingly, the game can be said to be rigged; advantage to the player this time since it became generally known.

However, before this became generally known among the daily number playing folks, it was a disadvantage for those playing anything Boxed Non-Singles.
