Thanks very much Nan for hosting it. It was an incredible score.

So do you want to know what the Jinks method was? Pull your chair a bit closer. Keep your mask on. Little bit more. That'll do.

The Jinks method was to pick the numbers from the last 4 draws and then supplement with gaps from draw 5 or de-select one/two. It didn't work so
well last year. But I did have a couple of second places in previous years. Just caught it at a good time on the curve. I also just sorted the numbers
by a random number on Excel. So it's a bit like plodding on in the face of adversity. It's a method.

Jerome's numbers were the Primes and Fibonacci's < 60 + 2 most overdue
numbers.

I'm writing this explanation as a way of "paying-back". Because one year one
of the WLC winners introduced me to the Nick Koutras spreadsheet and he had chosen the best performing set from it and stuck with them. Can't remember
his name. But thanks.

Cheers everyone.

Well done MJ and Jerome and Alphazero. That's a monumental score.

Thanks for running the competition Nan.

I guess we all did better than Random and Constant so perhaps we all did better than we thought.

I think in some cases it's a question of where you get on the curve.

E.g. I know that 80 out of 100 times the sum of the scores will be X. But
what happens if you join in when they are in the Y 20% zone? In Mr
Micawber's words "misery". I did a score for those 20 rounds (when I was
using the last 4 draw's numbers) and it gave me a 52 points average.
Overall in the whole 650 draws of this 6/59 game the average was 46 with a
mode of 48. So, I was ahead for that 20 draw period when we were doing the WLC. Lucky this year.

So you still need a bit of luck with every scheme that you are on. But also the ability to keep plugging away but to know when to quit.

Incidentally I do like the last 4 draw period to give me 24 selections. I
also like the last 10 draw period which gives you 43 selections. You can
get a nice wheeling table from the lucky gene to do 43 numbers. You can hit
5 on average (inc the bonus number). But don't use real money!
