I've been tracking/playing NY's Take5 using 3 groups of 13 numbers. (Group 1 is 1 thru 13, Group 2 is 14 thru 26, and Group 3 is 27 thru 39)
Suppose the following set of numbers came out: 6 18 23 31 37
That'd be one number from Group 1, two numbers from Group 2, and two numbers from Group 3. There are a total of 79,092 possible combinations of 5 numbers from a 5/39 matrix with that "group distribution" (1-2-2)
Suppose this set came out: 1 2 3 4 5
That's all 5 numbers from Group 1. (5-0-0 group distribution) There are only 1,287 possible 5 number combinations associated with that group distribution.
These distributions also have 79,092 possible combo's 2-1-2, 2-2-1.
I tend to play 1-2-2, 2-1-2 or 2-2-1 group distributions with a 3/2 oddd/even mix when I pick my numbers. You should know that I've never a hit 4 out of 5 playing Take5. Best I ever did was 3/5. GiveFive
