PENTADS

We divide all the numbers from 1 to 49 in 10 groups of 5 numbers each called pentads.

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;

26, 27, 28, 29, 30;

31, 32, 33, 34, 35;

36, 37, 38, 39, 40;

41, 42, 43, 44, 45;

46, 47, 48, 49;

Each group has 5 numbers except for the last group 46-49 that has 4 numbers but which we will still call a pentad. The numbers extracted are distributed in 2,3,4,5, or 6 pentads out of the total of 10 pentads. In most of the cases they are distributed in 5 pentads meaning that in a single pentad we have 2 numbers of each and in the others we have one number of each. The reduction is big!

And yet, whoever rejects the idea of having 6 winning numbers and thinks of having 5 winning numbers will distribute the numbers in 4 pentads. It’s only a hint...

The graph displays on the abscissa the combinations with pentad numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and beside each combination there is a column indicating how many times the respective combination was extracted (the number in displayed above).
