BRITISH COLUMBIA BC/49
SKIP, REPEATING
AND LONGEST OVERDUE SUMMATION

The following Tables examine the Question: "How many numbers from the previous draws would you need to use to win 3/6 or 4/6 or 5/6 or 6/6 prizes for the upcoming draw?"

The Tables for the last 8 draws show the numbers that were drawn, how many "DrawsAgo" the draw occurred, and the Previous Time (Previously Drawn) the numbers were drawn. (Note: The latest draw is "0" DrawsAgo, the draw before the latest is "1" and so on.)

The "Difference" between the two columns gives you an indication of the number of draws it took for the numbers to repeat themselves. The "Difference" minus 1 is called a skip or the interval between draws for a number.

Use this information to choose numbers from previous draws for the upcoming draw to help you. For example, if you are only interested in winning 4/6, then take an average of the Tables to see how many draws back you would need to go.

Now that you know how many draws (for instance, 3) you have to go back, check the additional tables below that give you the numbers in order by DrawsAgo and date. This is the same table as "Longest Overdue", only by Order of numbers. The Table beside this table shows all the numbers drawn over the past year by Position. These two Tables will assist you in deciding which numbers you need and in which position you want to put these numbers as some numbers prefer certain positions. For example, if you only decide to use all the numbers for 3 draws then go down the "Longest Overdue" Table (remember that "0" DrawsAgo is now included for the upcoming draw and counts as 1 draw) and pick all numbers for 3 draws. Then use them in their most appropriate position from the "Position Frequency" Table.

Obviously, the further back you go, the more numbers you will need to use, increasing the number of combinations for your selections.

Bonus Numbers are Not Used. "Previously Drawn" only indicates that the number(s) was drawn for that draw NOT its position - check "Recent Numbers" for the position.

Additional Tables - "Longest Overdue" By Order and "Position Frequency" for the Past Year.
