  Dear Lotto Friends And Experts,

  I really need your help to sort this puzzle out.

  I'm from India where online lotteries are a little over 18 months old (FIRST draw of our 649 lottery was held on March 28, 2002, with 82 draws now, played every Thursday).

  We have a PowerBall-type lottery (ThunderBall) with (5/42+1/15) scheme. The FIRST draw was held on July 23, 2002. This lottery is played every Tuesday and has completed 65 draws to date.

  What surprises (or shocks rather) me is the number 10 has been drawn only THRICE as a MAIN ball from 42 and NEVER from the set of 15 (as a THUNDERBALL), all this AFTER 65 draws!! Can This REALLY happen in so called RANDOM, transparent, impartial lottery?! HAS THIS EVER happened in your lottery?! PM Me!

  What I need through this poll is, could there by any foul play?! The restults can be found at http://www.myplaywin.com/inner/Sikkim-Thunderball.xls

  I want MAXIMUM RESPONSE AND WILDEST participation in this poll and cooperation on this matter. Thanks all!

  Love,

  DreamLotto

  We only have 8 numbers to pick from for the Power Ball draw number 7 did not appear for 54 draws.
  
  
  
  I think the UK lotto had a number come up finally after 72 draws.
  
  
  
  With your 15 Power ball numbers I would probalby say it could go for upto 100 draws.

  Dear Irvin,

  So do you think I should play one set of tickets with the number 10 as the ThunderBall?!

  Or should I keep it in reserve until our lotto crosses at least 80 draws (65 draws as of date)?!

  Thanks for your inputs.

  Regards

  No I think that is a bad idea other might think different though.
  
  
  
  I would wait until it hits then It might just hit again within a few more draws after that.

  Ignore a number that's way out an unusual length of time until it starts to hit again.  A dead number can ruin a sizable percentage of a wheel's lines week after week.  There's no special award when the number is finally drawn for having played it faithfully, it's just not as good to play as any number that has been hitting regular.  BobP

  Dear BobP:

  Thank you so much!

  I was ABOUT to commit this folly of playing the elusive 10, that too, as a ThunderBall! As a main number, I feel it is OK to play, for it has hit 5 times (not 3 times as stated earlier, sorry for the error).

  Keep those nice tips coming, folks!

  You will always have a hot number and you will always have a ice cold number....It took 143 draws in megamillons for the number 50 to become the mega ball...The number 32 is the hot white ball coming up 23+ times in 146 draws....the number 35 is the ice cold white ball showing up less than 6 times in 146 draws....sounds like your number ten is the cold ball....let it go!

  Yes,

  It's like any other online lotto, with the numbers drawn randomly by a computer and announced on a TV show!

  Good Luck!

  I consider any number that hasn't "hit" in the last ten to fifthteen games a "cold" number. I wait until that number "hit's" and maybe play it in a game or two.
