RULES FOR GOOD LOTTERY SETS
These are just rules of thumb but they
have worked very well for me.
I) The 1/2 rule (TRUE about 97% of the time)
1) The first number (lowest number) should
not be in the highest half of the possible
numbers.
Example: If your drawing has 49 balls, then
your lowest number should not be 25 or higher.
2) The last number (highest number) should not be
in the lowest half of the possible numbers.
Example: If your drawing has 49 balls, then
your highest number should not be 24 or lower.
3) The sum of the numbers should not be 50% (1/2)
above or 50% below the average sum for your game.
Example: If your game has an average sum of 150
then you should never use a set with a sum below
75 or above 225.
II) The 1/3 rule
The spread between the 1st number and the last
number should never be less than 1/3 of the total
numbers.
Example: If your game has 49 balls then the spread
between the 1st and last number should never be
less than 49 / 3 or less than 17.
