  You can expect three drawings in a row with the same Lucky Ball about once in three years on average. If the next two are also 16, it could be a sign of an actual pattern.

  I agree. I think four consecutive draws of the same LB is unlikely. For, what it is worth, I will be playing #9. Will play my customary 10 lines. Good luck everyone! !

  Do you play QP's or do you pick your own numbers?  I have played LFL for about 5 years now and feel like I'm wasting time trying to find a pattern.  I always play my own numbers and feel like I probably have a better shot doing so rather than just playing OP's, although the odds of winning are still very high...and forget trying to figure out a pattern on the lucky ball...once you think you have that figured out you're proven wrong. 

  I tell my daughter I think their program identifies matching numbers before the actual drawing and if numbers presented match the winning white balls and/or white balls/lucky ball, then it switches to an alternate number.  Hope that's not the case but as many times as I thought I had a winner only to find out after the drawing notta thing...

  KimPo$sible,

  I play my own numbers using various methods and softwares. I get the occasional 2+LB or 3 numbers for $20 bucks, if I am lucky, but nothing to get excited about YET. There is always a chance though! lol.

  I find that Lucky For Life is by the far the most reliable draw game when it comes to numbers range representation that steadily evens itself out after hiccups and dips. If the 40 through 48 range has been unusually scarce for several drawings, for example, then it is fairly reliable that the 40 through 48 range will more or less explode shortly after the scarcity. This has recently happened with the 30 through 39 range. This range had lower than average representation for a while, and then the past handful of drawings, this range started getting really dense in representation. This makes the game fairly fun for guessing number range representation, since even though that doesn't somehow make it easy to win by any means, it does give some incentive to try to guess in the first place.

  I hit the 16 in three in a row with no other numbers, but I am not complaining, the streak is over!

  I have an advance draw ticket that has another two weeks left so maybe 16 will be back?

  Congrats on your $25 win, beats my $15 lol.

  Continued Good Luck to you and all who play.

  probability (lottery odds) of that happening on a specific luck ball number is 1 in 5832.

  probability (lottery odds) of any luck ball number repeating three times is 1 in 324.

  it's likely to happen again.

  watch for and profit from it.
