Strategies tested: frequent combinations, guaranteed systems, avoiding the last draw
Three popular strategies, recalculated on real draws and real prizes. Unlike many sites, we show the numbers used and clearly separate “chosen after the fact” from “fixed in advance”.
3Avoiding the numbers of the last draw
A popular filter: play none of the numbers from the last draw. Without the 6 numbers from 14.10.2026, 9,366,819 combinations remain out of 20,358,520 – 46.0%.
In reality, the next draw shared at least one number with the previous one in 55.3% of cases (expected: 54.0%, 38 pairs of draws).
A complete winning combination has been never repeated in the database (39 draws).
The filter does not change the odds: every remaining combination is exactly as likely as every excluded one. That no line has ever repeated is normal with 20,358,520 possibilities – for any given line, even the last one drawn, the chance is identical at every draw.
How it works
Three popular strategies are recalculated with real draws and real prize payouts: case studies "frequent combinations vs Quick Pick", a wheeling system with guarantee (covering design) and the "avoid last draw" filter.
Example
A row picked in hindsight always looks good; if it is fixed beforehand, the advantage disappears.
Limitations
All results remain negative on average because roughly half of the stakes are paid out.
Frequently asked questions about this tool
- Why do other sites show positive results?
- Usually the numbers are chosen in hindsight (look-back optimum). That cannot be repeated before the draw.
