Adjacent Digits

Adjacent digits are first or last digits that are one higher or one lower than the appropriate digits from previous draw. Each pool number breaks down into two digits. The first digit is the leading digit of the number, the last digit is the second digit of the number. For example the first digit of number 23 is 2, the last digit of that number is 3. The first digit of number 9 is 0, the last digit of that number is 9.

There are two types of Adjacent Digits statistics. Per ticket statistics compares first/last digits with first/last digits at any position in the previous draw. Per position statistics compares the digits at the same ticket position only.

Adjacent Digits Per Ticket

For example the latest 2 draws in Expert Lotto 6/49 Demo Lottery are:

2010/28 Sun 1st 06 13 14 19 41 42 [29]

There are four last digits in draw 2010/28 Sun 2nd that are adjacent to previous draw 2010/28 Sun 1st. Last digit 3 of number 23 is adjacent to previous numbers 14 and 42 (last digitis 4 and 2). Last digit of number 42 is adjacent to previous numbers 13 and 41 (last digits 3 and 1). Last digit 4 of number 44 is adjacent to previous number 13 (last digit 3). Last digit 7 of number 47 is adjacent to number 6 (last digit 6).

Adjacent Digits Per Position

When comparing the same two draws listed above per ticket positions, we can see that there no adjacent last digits. Only one first digit is adjacent to the first digits from previous draw at the same ticket position. The first digit of number 29 is 2 which is adjacent to the first digit 1 of number 13 from the previous draw at the same ticket position.

These statistics are available in summary form and also as per-ticket properties.
