Something unbelievable happened with FF5.
On 12/19, a jackpot for $72,358.75 was won at The Publix at 9951 Flagler Street in Miami. Two days later, on 12/21, another jackpot for $91.027.93 was won at The Publix at 9951 Flagler Street in Miami. Both were Quick Picks. Who said lightning never strikes twice in the same spot?

Last Night: 14 17 20 34 35
67th hit of 2020 for #17. G5
I took a look back at #17's history from January 1, 2020.
Not only did it steadily come out, but there were four times that it double repeated. (It was drawn three days in a row) That's a high number of times for any number to double repeat. Although it's not unusual for any given number to come out in three consecutive drawings, typically when it happens, it happens just once a year for most numbers. (if it even happens at all, and for most numbers it doesn't happen)
So what's the reason behind any number being so actively drawn when purists say it shouldn't happen? My guess is it's a result of a machine that's been manufactured by man that's being used to draw the numbers. That said, there has to be at least one number that's drawn more than any other, and there must be at least one number that's drawn the least. The drawings results when viewed graphically produce a bell shaped curve, or what's also called a "normal distribution".
At any rate, it happens and that's all I really care about. I try to use this information to my advantage, even if it provides me with only a very slight advantage. Let's face it this is the lottery we're talking about and all players definitely need all of the help they can get. To my way of thinking, knowing #17 is the most drawn number, and by me playing it a lot, I've reduced the odds tremendously. I think of it as a "free number" and if it's drawn, then I only have to match four numbers to win a jackpot.
It still isn't a walk in the park to match four numbers, but I like the odds of matching four numbers a lot better than I like the odds of matching all five. And there's an added benefit too by virtue of the fact that I win quite a few three-baggers and an occasional four-bagger.

Number 17 blasted out last nite for it's 68th hit of the year....
What's it gonna do in 2021? My thinking is that a different number will be the top hitter of 2021. #'s 10, 19 & 34 have been strong with 10 hits each since November 1st. Might be one of those three. G5

Last Nite 4 6 10 15 26
I've been consistently having four numbers spread out across my ticket but I just cant seem to get them all on the same line. I did win a three-bagger and a Free Ticket last night.
I had at least one number on six out of ten lines played, with four of the five winning numbers that were drawn. G5
