Number groups

[niceguy]

Hi Stan
Could you please explain what it is the numbers under the heading Stats/number groups /repeats represent please. I take it that the numbers show us the total amount of times a particular group has has repeated ? ( i.e.how many times it was drawn two drawings in a row? ) My results seem to be all out of kilter. e.g. when I divide my lotto into a total of twenty groups, with two numbers in each group ( the total number of drawn numbers is 40), on the 28/2/09 the group 19-20 shows a repeat of 115. In the next drawing on 7/3/09 the same group 19-20 shows a repeat of 77 yet neither 19 or 20 were drawn. Is this normal or is there a glitch somewhere? Thanks for your help.

'repeats' column relates to 'latest'column. if row A has latest=1 and repeats=5 then it means that in the selected portion of your winning numbers database event A occurred 5 times in the very next draw
if row B has latest=7 and repeats=32 then in 32 cases there were 6 draws elapsed between the occurrences of event B.
