Georgia Lottery - Georgia Five General Analysis
Updated on Saturday, May 18, 2013
Several analyses can be performed on Georgia Lottery Georgia Five past winning numbers. However, while straight numbers analysis
was reasonable for 3-digit games, where there are only 1,000 possible numbers.
It was not that helpful in 4-digit games, where there are 10,000 possible numbers, since
most of the numbers were not drawn yet. When it comes to the Georgia Five (a 5-digit game), straights analysis is
just out of the question even after thousands of draws; there are 100,000 numbers.
On the other hand, box (any arrangement of the digits) analysis is quite reasonable for both 3- and 4- digit games
with a few hundreds of draws. But, for the Georgia Five, we still need a couple of thousands of draws to identify
the hot and cold boxes.
In the mean time we shall only classify the 100,000 possible Georgia Five numbers into the various types of boxes
and list their respective probability.
| Box Type | Description | Example | Combinations | Numbers in this catagory | Probability |
Non-repeating (120-way box) | All 5 distinct digits | 12345 | 252 | 30,240 | 30.24% |
One-repeating (Doubles) (60-way box) | 3 distinct and one doubled | 11234 | 840 | 50,400 | 50.4% |
Two-repeating (Dual-Doubles) (30-way box) | 2 of the digits doubled | 11223 | 360 | 10,800 | 10.8% |
Triple (20-way box) | 1 of the digits tripled | 11123 | 360 | 7,200 | 7.2% |
Double-Triple (10-way box) | 1-doubled and 1-tripled | 11122 | 90 | 900 | 0.9% |
Quadruples (5-way box) | 1 of the digits quadrupled | 11112 | 90 | 450 | 0.45% |
Quintuples (1-way only) | All 5 digits identical | 11111 | 10 | 10 | 0.01% |
| Total | | | 2002 | 100,000 | 100% |
Note that while there are 100,000 distinct Georgia Five numbers, there are only
2002 boxes (any arrangement of the digits). Moreover, numbers with one digit doubled are the most
probable numbers to be drawn.
