    Thank you.

    I'm trying a new system, which I haven't named yet, which I hope will
    identify pairs of numbers 'more likely' to occur together. Unfortunately
    the woo-woo stuff under the covers sometimes maps two logical numbers to
    the same physical number. I guess that's okay for Hotpicks-1 but useless
    for buying tickets for Hotpicks-2 or the main draw.

    The pairs for Saturday's draw were: [26,30],[52,02],[28,28]

    I've just looked up the prize for Hotpicks-2 - -u60 :-)

    Is that 28 paired with....28? ;-)

    I picked up a spreadsheet from someone in one of the Lotto Forums that
    uses vba to put common pairs together. Created in 2001.

    Should you want it then I think you know my email address.

    I also have a trebles/triples one too.

    Exactly.

    I've decided to call it O&A (for oranges and apples), since it's aiming
    for pairs.

    The history so far:

    21/01/26 [35,12] [47,18] [28,28] result tba
    17/01/26 [26***,30***] [57,02] [28,28] (yes, I typed a wrong number]
    14/01/26 [48,28] [59,18] [37,37]
    10/01/26 [52,58] [59,36] [05***,05***]

    I admire you for your resilience :-)

    But Shirley if you have 2 numbers the same in one set then you can put a single bet on one of them, innit?

    The Jinks.

    The top pairs are 2 & 54 and 42 & 59, having occurred 21 times in the
    last 1,073 draws in the 6/59 format. Now that would be a huge
    Martingale bet
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)

    Me- I've always like palindromic pairs like 34 and 43 etc.

    For Hotpicks-1, you can place two bets on the number. But it's useless
    for Hotpicks-2. And if you're aiming for pairs, you probably should be
    betting on pairs. Sadly that -u60 is a rip-off and a hell of a house edge
    to overcome.

    The Jinks.

    Me too. They probably don't occur more often than other pairs but
    they're more noticeable.
