Hi Jimmy
I can understand what you’re saying about birthday numbers but I was not great believer in that theory, I tell you my reasons!
I am well into my 50s and my children are all grown up so the lowest number for me to chose going by birthday theory is 26 and if my father plays the lottery the lowest number for him would be over 50, so where do we stand?
When I stand in lottery queue the most majority of the people playing lottery are over 35, in fact I hardly see any young ones to play lottery as their money goes towards drinks and night outs rather than lottery!
Let me give you one practical example other than the theory above, below is UK lotto result
20/01/2010, 02,16,17,18,27,28 --- 43
This is two Weds draw ago, check the prize breakdown;
Match 6 ------------------ 0 -------------- Rollover Jackpot (£2,257,533)
Match 5+BB------------- 2 -------------- £347,312
Match 5 ------------------ 558 ----------- £778
Match 4 ------------------ 21,642 ------- £44
Match 3 ------------------ 368,803 ----- £10
Let’s compare above result to last night Wed draw
27/01/2010, 01,04,07,11,13,27 --- 12
Match 6 -----------------5 --------------£264,490
Match 5+BB-------------41 ------------£9,924
Match 5 ---------------- 1,402 ---------£181
Match 4 -----------------46,269 -------£12
Match 3 -----------------550,174 -----£10
What is the big difference between these two results which creates that huge discrepancy? The best part is above results are both on Weds!
You suggested if Camelot wants to compete they have to play low key numbers, do you actually see it happening, if yes then for how long?
