Low/High Combinations Aside from odd and even, numbers can be grouped into low and high. Let's group 49 numbers in two sets: Low Numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20, 21,22,23,24,25 High Numbers 26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33 ,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,4 1,42,43,44,45,46,47,48, 49 Out of these two sets, our probability analysis shows that winning numbers tend to be evenly distributed in the entire number field as the majority of the winning combinations consist of 3 numbers from the low set and 3 numbers from the high set. Similarly, players are encouraged to stay away from a combination which consists of purely low numbers or purely high numbers. Below are the tables showing all the types of combinations we can produce from the two sets of low and high numbers.
