After-draw report: rules and windows
Most matches: rule and number of earlier draws
Number partners — previous 99 draws
The set used draws from 03.01.1998 to 12.12.1998.
Main-number matches: 4 of 6.
Possible gross payout: Confirmed amount unavailable.
We checked 4980 rule-window settings: 20 rules derived from existing analyses and the available windows from 2 to 250 draws. Different settings could produce the same number set. 1 settings reached the highest match count. For ties, we show the shortest window, then the first rule in a fixed order.
The highest result was selected only after the draw was known. This is a retrospective comparison, not evidence of predictive ability or an advantage.
20 analyses compared: the best window for each rule
Each row shows the best preceding-draw window for one rule. These are explicit 6-number selection rules derived from existing analyses; the statistics pages themselves do not pick tickets. The ranking and windows were selected after the result was known. A tie within a rule goes to the shorter window.

Expected total matches for 6 random numbers against 6 drawn numbers over 20 draws: 14.69. This is a theoretical value, not the result of another ticket.
A fit to past draws does not improve the odds in the next draw. Amounts are hypothetical, gross and shown only for prize tiers with a known payout.
