  Looks like the next one should be 01 02 04 05 X

  I'm guessing since the payout amount was more than twice the normal amounts when no one wins the jackpot, a lot of players played 1 2 3 4 5 and had those numbers won the jackpot would have been divided by more than a hundred winners, each getting less than a thousand dollars.

  RJ,

  That is tremendous.

  It might be worth playing 19-34-35 along with some other numbers, because those three numbers showed that they are independent-minded and will not blindly follow patterns.

  It's also interesting that 3-4-5 seem to have no problem getting together in the hopper.  Do you happen to know if there have been any other cases where 3-4-5 were in the mix together?

  Thanks for posting the interesting results.

  Actually two of the six times 3-4-5 appeared together in a RC5 drawing were in that list.

  07/04/12 - 02 03 04 05 34
  02/24/12 - 03 04 05 28 36
  07/17/10 - 03 04 05 07 21
  08/16/06 - 03 04 05 15 30
  03/03/06 - 03 04 05 27 33
  11/01/05 - 01 03 04 05 19

  Ohio's website doesn't show those figures but it does show the payout amounts.  If you want a more accurate guess then I made in my earlier post then you could do a more involved calculation.

  That  X in 01 02 04 05 X could end up being 03. 

  Your suggestion that 1 2 3 4 5 might be on a four year cycle where at least four of them will be drawn together might be worth looking into, could be other combinations have a similar cycle.  If one knew which group of five was in cycle, they could improve their odds of winning.

  Very True!

  Yes, something to look into!
