Possible bug in winning numbers analyser

Postby george39 » Sun Jan 22, 2012 11:46 am

Hi Stan
I refer to the above subject in lottery for Austrtalian Powerball.
After analysing for 14 draws and checking Number Announcers Summary I believe the number of occurrences should total 70 (14x5=70). However they only total 30. If 20 draws analysed i get 55 and not 100. If 30 draws analysed I get 75 and not 150.
On the other hand in Australian Oz lotto. After analysing 10 draws I do get 70 (10x7=70) which seems to be correct.

Is there a bug or am I missing something ?

Also may I request access to the hidden jackpot forum.

Thank you.

well it depends how many times the latest drawn numbers (the announcers) appear in the selected draws. if the latest numbers are for example 1-2-3-4-5-6 then the total occurrence in announcers summary would equal to the count of occurrences of numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6 in selected past draws.

Hi Stan
Thanks for access to jackpot.

As for my earlier query I guess I will just have to learn to use a larger sample and thus reduce my chances of striking the one where the numbers stack up to my line of thinking and not reality. Pity picking the winning numbers wasn't as easy - but that's life.
Thanks again.
