Out of these 2 sets, we can produce the following types of combinations: Each odd/even pattern holds a certain number of possible combinations. The sum of all these combinations equals to 13,983,816 which represents all the combinations in a lotto 6/49 game. And the sum of all their probabilities should equal to 1. From the table, above we see that it's the 3 odd and 3 even pattern that exhibits the best probability of getting drawn in a lotto 6/49 game. This type of combination is expected to occur 33 times in 100 draws. And accordingly, those combinations which consist of either all even or all odd numbers are the worst combinations. Noticeably, those combinations which consist of either 1 even or 1 odd are the middle types which go in between the best and the worst. Use of these types of combinations is up to your own judgment.
