   Interestingly the mode for repeating numbers shows as 1 (i.e. the last   
   draw).   
      
   61% of the time a number from the last draw will repeat.  The Jinks WLC   
   chose the last 4 draws in order to get his selections.  The mode for numbers   
   repeating from the last 4 is 3 (i.e. 3 numbers from the last 4 will   
   re-occur).
