    8 in all

    2 from 8 is £28 (ideally would like 11 sels)
    3 from 8 is £56 (ideally up to 17)

    I've been monitoring an occasional phenomenon I'm calling Starmer
    Numbers, because there's something inherently deceitful about their formulation. For some reason they don't seem to work when there's more
    than one per draw, but when there is only one, the chance of it being
    drawn is historically somewhere between 1 in 3 and 1 in 5 of it being drawn.

    There's a Starmer Number for Wednesday's Lotto draw: 23.

    NB I won't be buying a Hotpick ticket for it.

    So 55 and 56 came up.


    Well done.

    Although a double did come up (prize £60, from £28 outlay), seems like
    for just 8 numbers the single bet might be less risky. Outlay £8 return £12.

    Do you have another?

    Past performance is no indication of blah blah...

    The New York Lotto is identical in format to the UK Lotto (6+B/59), and
    that's where I first noticed the Starmer numbers. The UK has thrown up
    38 for Saturday. New York was Starmer-free on both Wednesday and
    Saturday :-)
