Why are they all so close?
Because the balls don't know what happened last week. Hot, cold, overdue or random, every set of numbers has exactly the same chance in every draw.
Over 1,998 draws, one method will always be in front. Most of the money comes from a handful of bigger prizes, so the leader can change with a single lucky draw.
If one ever pulls well clear of Pure luck and stays there, we'll be the first to tell you.
