May 3 dito sa amin na nanalo. Plausible naman talaga, highly unlikely pero not impossible naman kaya hindi mo masabi outright talaga na may daya.

Buti sana kung impossible eh.

Statistical improbability or a miracle? Statisticians, experts weigh in on the P236M Grand Lotto issue • l!fe • The Philippine Star

The winning numbers all being divisible by 9 were also called out, but it has long been considered a lottery favorite for it's so-called "lucky" nature.

"When we see the combinations being 09-18-27-36-45-54, which are multiples of 9 or digits adding up to 9, and when you see the lotto entry form where these digits often are arranged diagonally, it explains that it is a very human thing to do," Peter Julian Cayton, associate professor of UP’s School of Statistics shared.

"The lotto selects numbers randomly through drawing balls, but we humans choose numbers based on patterns and order that we can easily make, especially when we like to participate daily."

"The combination has a chance of only 1/28,989,675, the denominator being all possible 6-number combinations in the 6/55. However, that is different from what people would choose as their 6-number ticket."

"Again, people will choose numbers based on their preferred pattern or order. People are not random number thinkers. Many people can be loyal or consistent in their choice of numbers, especially if they would be regularly joining the lotto," Cayton added.

Rabajante likewise pointed out that regular bettors have an "alaga" or typical combinations that they choose. In the PCSO Lotto tickets, the Oct. 1 winning combination is laid out in a clear diagonal line.
