   Hi Nigel   
      
   I haven't looked at combinations in that way.  I'm sort of drifting away   
   from looking at the Lotto too deeply.   
      
   My last big idea was to look at the Lotto like it was a Connect 4 board   
   (10*6 though).  Plot the last 4 or 5 draws on it and see where the missing   
   hole was. I won some money using the Hotpicks Pick 2 - (combinations here   
   though like you said?).  Then the next time I wasn't so sure and did my 11   
   as Hotpick1s and won £6 but a loss overall.   
      
   Having downloaded the Nick Koutras spreadsheet and adapted it for the 6/59   
   game this tells me what pairs are low. But I have the attention span of a   
   gnat these days.   
      
   The Nick spreadsheet shows these as only having come up once (6/59 game)   
         43.50   
         2.26   
         4.25   
         24.54   
         6.18   
         33.38   
         21.55   
         53.55   
         10.43   
         28.28   
         19.25   
         15.28   
         24.59   
         2.24   
      
      
   But the top combo 2&54 has come up 18 times and we've had 797 draws of the   
   6/59 game.   
      
   Is there any mileage in it?
