    19 has not come out in the main lotto drew for over 3 months, It has to come out soon right ?

    Like roulette or any similar game, previous results have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the next spin/draw, the probability is not affected by previous results.

    It's about 50/50 it comes up in the next 5 draws, same as any other number.

    Probability tomorrow is the same as any other night. It is a statistically independent event.

    it's still 15% odds.... just because it's been a couple months doesn't increase the odds of it coming out...

    it's still 15% chance of being drawn...

    the machine has no memory and the odds reset after every draw...

    it doesn't matter if a ball hasn't been drawn for 10 years or if it's been drawn in 100 draws in a row... it's still a 15% shot

    you could bet on any number and it'd still be the same odds.. 13/2ish odds... simple as that regardless.... really not worth betting on imo seeing as it's pure chance

    4 balls from Wednesday re-appear, 5 if you include the bonus ball !
    I know they are all unique draws, but this was spooky enough. Thought I was watching a re-run!
    I've seen this Wednesday's draw already and 24 comes out !
