I've been playing a static set of numbers in 10 lines in Fl Lotto which is a 6 ball, 53 number lottery. I crunched the numbers for my set of numbers and came up with some stats. I also found very good stats posted by another member here regarding Fl Lotto and odds of winning which I've pasted below, but I'm still not sure if I'm doing better than random:
https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/241542/2384647
combination size 6
basic pool size 53
(B) bonus numbers none
smallest match 0
tickets or chances per draw 1
possible combos of 6/53 numbers = 22957480
MATCHES ODDS WINNING COMBOS EXPECTED WINNERS
6/6 1 : 22957480 1 0.00
5/6 1 : 81410 282 0.00
4/6 1 : 1416 16215 0.00
3/6 1 : 71 324300 0.01
2/6 1 : 9 2675475 0.12
1/6 1 : 2 9203634 0.40
0/6 1 : 2 10737573 0.47
In 278 draws, at least 1 of my 10 lines has the below stats:
2 in a line - 69%
3 in a line - 19%
4 in a line - 2%
5 in a line - 0%
6 in a line - 0%
How do I compute if I'm doing better than random? Preferably an easy way - I read a thread about Monte Carlo, but I'm not sure how to do it or if it's what I should use to determine this..
EDIT: I suppose the easy answer is the member I found that posted those useful stats could change the input of "tickets or chances per draw = 10" and I'd know the answer haha.
