Update on Best set
After 1960 draws and without considering the bonus number, I get the following results (WN is Winning Numbers)
For numbers 12 20 34 39 41 43:
0 WN 836 times
1 WN 801 times
2 WN 259 times
3 WN 54 times
4 WN 10 times
5 WN and better never
For numbers 31 34 47 27 43 20 (the 6 numbers having come out most often):
0 WN 763 times
1 WN 824 times
2 WN 318 times
3 WN 50 times
4 WN 5 times
5 WN and better never
For your information, with totally random numbers, you could expect something like:
0 WN 854 times
1 WN 810 times
2 WN 259 times
3 WN 35 times
4 WN 2 times
5 WN and better never
So it looks like the proposed Best performing set still performs fairly well but is it the best? I have not checked the nearly 2,000,000 possible 5 numbers combinations.
But then how do you define the Best performing set
- The one with most 3 WN?
- The best combination of 3 WN and 4 WN? And at what ratio?
To me, any combination that would have produced 5 WN at least once but preferably twice would get my vote.
