Position in Draw

Each drawn number occupies a unique position. Analyzing draws by position involves examining the frequency and patterns of numbers based on their order of appearance—for example, which numbers are most frequently drawn as the first number, second number, and so on.

Why Positional Analysis Matters?
 

•Helps Identify Patterns: Understanding which numbers typically appear in which positions can refine number selection strategies.

•Avoids Unlikely Picks: Knowing that certain numbers rarely appear in a specific position prevents unrealistic selections.

•Improves Strategic Play: Some lottery strategies involve choosing numbers that are more likely to appear in their usual positions.
Analyzing lottery draws by position provides insight into how numbers behave within a draw sequence.
Recognizing these patterns can help in making more informed lottery choices
 

Some numbers may frequently appear in certain positions, while others may never appear in specific spots.
Some numbers can only appear in a certain position. For example, if the lowest possible number in the draw is 1, it will always be in the first position when drawn.
Some numbers might appear in multiple positions but will never be drawn in certain spots. For instance, the number 3 might often be drawn as the 1st or 2nd number but never as the last number in a five-number draw.
Some numbers can appear in multiple positions without restriction. A number like 15 might be drawn anywhere from 1st to 5th position
 
You can exclude specific numbers from appearing in certain positions when generating tickets or filtering wheel system

Each game draw is unique, and the number position varies every time. 
Observing how often these numbers are drawn on certain positions can help decide to create better tickets.

When filtering a wheel system, you can use this filter to exclude combinations that have specific numbers in certain positions or within a range of positions.

When generating tickets, you can use it to place numbers in fixed positions or within a range of positions in the ticket numbers.

On the Filters page select the Add Filter tab, choose Position in Draw main filters from the list on the left side of page.
Select which game Number you want from the list on the right side of page.

Click the Add Filter button located on the toolbar. Selected filter will be added to your Game Filters list.

The first diagram shown at the top of screen illustrates the general occurrence of  Position in Draw numbers.
 

If numbers are not drawn as contact numbers, the diagram will display a point in row 0. If they are drawn as contact numbers, the diagram will show a point in the row corresponding to the number of contact numbers drawn.
 
The upcoming diagrams will examine numbers drawn as the main type and their combinations with other types.
