Consecutive white-ball pairs
Sort the five white balls, then count adjacent values one apart.
| Pattern | Drawings | Observed share |
|---|---|---|
| 0 adjacent pairs | 208 | 64.20% |
| 1 adjacent pair | 104 | 32.10% |
| 2 adjacent pairs | 12 | 3.70% |
| 3 adjacent pairs | 0 | 0.00% |
| 4 adjacent pairs | 0 | 0.00% |
For example, 1, 2, 3, 20, 40 contains two adjacent consecutive pairs: 1–2 and 2–3. A run of five consecutive numbers contains four pairs. The special ball is not included.
