Funny numbers...I think 47 is a funny number. Used to play it a lot in the Texas lottery. It went out for like 163 draws while I was playing it too!
Whatever is important to YOU when you pick numbers is what I'm asking.
I don't have any favorite numbers. I'm always surprised to see my birthday on the clock. But no luck with those either. (Okay, a little. But not enough to say it was worth it). I do gravitate to front and back sets. And pay more attention to the back digits than the front. You have a limited amount of front digits with a huge number of back digits in comparison. In a 5 ball game you have 52 front sets, but you have about 99000 back digit sets. (in games like 5/39 you don't have five 9's so sets like 9,19,29,39 mess up that 99999 count. (no fifth 9)
So why am I asking? Well, after reading a few different sites I decided to try a ranking system for number sets to see if there is a correlation to certain sets being drawn while others are never drawn. I sifted through certain categories, assigning values to them and ran the matrix through. And the same with the game.
Here's the result......

Leftmost is the percentile. 10, 20, 30 (yeah, its blank), 40, 50, 60.....
Second is the number of hits for each percentile. 1 combination fell in 10%, 6652 fell in the 90 percentile.
Third column is the percentage. As you see most of the numbers fell in the 60 to 80 percentile range. Tells us there is a lot of passing numbers out there! (At least in this test.)
There is actually 324632 combinations in a 5/35 so I'm missing 2 combos (324360). Put'em where ever you want, it won't affect the result.
Fourth and fifth columns are the game result. And it shows the game pretty much follows the matrix (as far as this particular set of characteristics go).
Naturally, before I go off the deep end proclaiming that 7 out of every ten draws are going to be in these categories, I need to run this program across several different games.
So while the other computer is running a detailed evaluation (which categories failed the most), it would be a good idea to get your input and see if there is something I didn't think about, or just don't know.
(Oh, and for those who read this far, 1,2,3,4,5 was at the 50% mark)
