Super Lotto Plus Draws Crazy Combo Last Wednesday

We always enjoy looking at the various combinations that were drawn in each Lottery. We thought that the Wednesday May 6 2009

Super Lotto Plus

combo was noteworthy of highlighting as a Crazy Combo. The 5 white ball combination was:

23 - 24 - 26 - 28 - 29
(with Megaball 11)

Why is this Crazy?

1. Note that all 5 numbers fell within the decade range of 20-29. With that constraint, there are only 252 possible combinations. Out of 1,533,939 possible sets, this is particularly rare.
2. The delta (diff between numbers) is symmetrical: 1 - 2 - 2 - 1
3. The Range was only 6 (difference between high and low number).

Unfortunately, this is the type of combo that would only be generated by a quick pick random number or one playing birthday dates. For someone playing straight combinations, this sequence would not be generated.

Just thought you'd be interested in another piece of
