Irish Lotto
Sorted Bucket Combination Distribution

The Irish Lotto requires a player to make Pick 6 numbers out of a set of 45 white balls. If the player picks the same numbers as those that are drawn in the next drawing, the player wins the Jackpot prize.

While everyone says that every combination has an equal chance of winning, Lottery Power Picks and others, believe that certain combinations are more likely to occur than others.

The following Table summarize the occurances of the Lottery Ball Bucket Distribution of all Irish Lotto combinations for the white balls.

These are sorted from highest to lowest concentration and probability.

The Irish Lotto white balls are numbered 1 to 45. The player selects 6 of these numbers. The table below shows the probability of each of the balls falling within a decimal range: 0-9; 10-19; 20-29; 30-39; and 40-45 ranging from highest to lowest combinations.

As shown in Table I6-2b, there are 210 different bucket combinations. The buckets with the highest count are at the top of the table. The buckets with the fewest count are at the bottom of the table. Note that the combination number on the left side is only a reference. These are not the same as Table I6-2a.

The table on the previous page illustrates this same information, but is NOT sorted.
