 Have
you ever thought about odd and even numbers in your number combinations?
Have you ever wondered if it makes any difference how many of each you use
in your number combinations? If you have, then your instincts were telling
you something.
First
of all, the odds are against an all odd number combination or an all even
number combination being drawn as compared to a number combination with a
better balance of each. Why? Because of how many there are of
each type. Had you ever calculated them out, you would have known which type
would have the better chance of being drawn on any given night. The type with
more number combinations possible will be drawn much more often.
There
are only so many ways a number combination can be made up using odd and even
numbers. Shown below are the 6 ways for all five number games and the 7
ways for all six number games.

Furthermore, as shown
on the left, given how many numbers are in the particular game, we can calculate how many number combinations are possible
for each odd / even set. This table shows how many combinations are possible for each odd/even set in a 6 of 49 game. | |
|---|
| 4 odd / 2 even | | 3,491,400 |
|---|
| 2 odd / 4 even | | 3,187,800 |
|---|
| 5 odd / 1 even | | 1,275,120 |
|---|
| 1 odd / 5 even | | 1,062,600 |
|---|
| 6 odd / 0 even | | 177,100 |
|---|
| 0 odd / 6 even | | 134,596 |

Given the above information:
Which odd/even set would you expect to be drawn more often? Which odd/even set would you expect to be drawn the least?
If you say the 3odd/3even set should be drawn more than the others because there are more of them, you would be right. If you
went so far as to say the 0odd/6even set should be drawn the least because there are less of that type than any other
type, you would be right again. Given any number of drawings, we can calculate how many times each type of number combination
should be drawn. Note that the calculations can be done long before the first drawing ever takes place. Now, you will see how
many times each odd/even set is calculated to be drawn after a particular number of drawings.
