Winning Numbers Ranges

Winning numbers of each draw divide the number pool into six consecutive ranges (applies to 6/xx lottery). If the latest winning numbers are for example 23-29-36-42-44-47 then the ranges are:1 to 23, 24 to 29, 30 to 36, 37 to 42, 43 to 44 and 45 to 49.
For example ticket 15-25-31-33-41-49 then has the following distribution pattern: XXX--X. The first number 15 fits into the first range (1 to 23) so the first part of the pattern is X. Second number 25 also fits into the second range (24 to 29) so the pattern continues with X. Number 31 is in the second range so the pattern has X at the third position. Numbers 31 and 41 do not fit into ranges at appropriate positions so the pattern shows - at fourth and fifth positions. The last number 49 fits into the last range so the last part of the distribution pattern is X. In total there are 4 numbers that fit into ranges of the previous draw.

Note: The first range always starts with the lowest pool number. The last number range always ends with the highest pool number.

Range Patterns

2010/27 Sun 2nd, 01-06-12-24-32-41-[44]  XX-X-X
