Today in We Have to Play Encore, Kate!
Someone's gotta get this piece of data to Nikki Stafford.
After a co-worker said something stupid, I checked out the OLG website for info. I didn't find the rebuttal to his stupid (stupid! Stupid! Stupid!) thing, but I did find this fascinating page of popular number combinations.
As of Jan 1, 2011, the sixth most popular number combination for Lotto 6/49 was : 4 8 15 16 23 42. Over the past 12 months, these numbers were played 37,508. Divide that by Lotto 6/49's 104 draws a week, and you've got 360.66 plays of the Numbers each week.
So, even if they DID come up, they'd dilute the winnings a lot. Funny, that.
I will confess that when I play them, I play them ironically.
