Picking high and low numbers

Last week we talked about how you should split your numbers into three different groups to make a power ticket. One group that has 4 high 2 low one that is a even split of 3 and 3 and finally one that is 2 high and 4 low.  The breakdown of those occurrence are seen below, based on 400 drawings.

		Times	Out of	%
High numbers	0	2	400	0.50%
High numbers	1	28	400	7.00%
High numbers	2	96	400	24.00%
High numbers	3	137	400	34.25%	84.25%
High numbers	4	104	400	26.00%
High numbers	5	29	400	7.25%
High numbers	6	4	400	1.00%

The low numbers of course or just the inverse of the high.

As you can see the trend data shows that by playing only number that are split between 2 and 4 of them that are high,  you will cover 84.25% of the winning numbers  that come out.  When we build a power ticket that is why we play combinations that fall into that range, if you can only play one number I would suggest an even split because that occurs 34.25% of the time.  Quick picks don’t care about trend data but you should.

The balls don’t lie!
