RE: Odds of matching from a pool of 21
We have played 19 games in the pick 21 challenge and my checking sheet is made out for a block of 20 draws. I would suggest that after 20 draws we review who did best over the 20 draws and declare winner(s) for :-

A) Most match 7's ( if any) failing that, most match 6's ( if any) , failing that most match 5's ( if any) - failing that, most match 4's (not counting bonus balls). This would be the top prize , the person most likely to have won the most money, had they had them in the right order left to right..

B) Most pick N wins , in other words the total score over the 20 draws when counting only the main balls correct in the first 6 positions left to right.

C) The most consistent winner, worked out by taking the average of the players scores over the number of games they entered. To keep it simple, bonus balls count the same in the total.

Hopefully this gives different people a chance of a virtual kudos prize.

A spreadsheet modification would be required to extract this information though. As Len has all the information so far, perhaps Lens would be the one to change. Any thoughts ?

Also have you enjoyed this and are we carrying on?
