In Lotto imagine we place the 6 balls that are drawn, in an order from Lowest number to highest number drawn in each game
Example in Lotto Game 3136
The numbers in numerical order are as follows;
3 18 20 21 44 45


Result for the Last 100 Games
# Ball1 Ball 1%
1 15 15
2 6 21
3 9 30
4 9 39
5 11 50
6 4 54
7 9 63
8 4 67
9 5 72
10 2 74
11 4 78
12 4 82
13 4 86
14 1 87
15 1 88
16 2 90
17 4 94
18 0 94
19 3 97
20 2 99
21 0 99
22 1 100
Now as you can see 22 has been the highest number drawn for Ball 1, in the last 100 games you can see above #1 has been drawn 15 times and comprises 15% of the Ball #1 space, if you were to take #1 to #5 50% of the games any one of those 5 numbers has been drawn, or I take 1 to 22 and I know that 1 will have at least 1 number drawn out of 6 balls.

The Median # is #6 and the Mode is #1, with the game being random the Mode should move about and it does,in the above case it is going to move towards the Median #6 as it can't go any lower.

But the main point is if you understand the impact of #23 on the permutations now required to select 6 balls correctly in such what some people will call a negative expectation game, you'll make giant steps in understanding how construct wagers correctly in the racing
