Adjacent numbers are numbers that are one higher or one lower than the winning numbers from the previous draw.
There are two types of Adjacent Numbers statistics. Per ticket statistics compares ticket numbers with previously drawn numbers at any ticket position. Per position statistics compares the ticket numbers at the same ticket position only.
Additional categorization is the distance between adjacent numbers. The distance ranges from 1 to 5. It means Adjacent Numbers [1] are numbers that are one higher or one lower then previous winning numbers. Adjacent Numbers [2] are numbers that are two higher or two lower then previous winning numbers. For example number 15 is adjacent [2] to numbers 13 and 17 respectively. The same applies to Adjacent Numbers [3], [4] and [5] respectively. For example number 31 is adjacent [5] to numbers 26 and 36 respectively.
