17/02/2016, 05,15,59,51,33,47,07
13/02/2016, 48,23,16,39,15,59,36

Isnâ€™t it true the probability is 59x58 = 3422 but it occurred in two consecutive draws?????
Then repeated triples probability from 49 numbers lottery is 49x48x47 = 110544 but it is happening within 2000 draws over and over again??????????

Moses,

Let's get the statistics right here. For the number of pairs from 59 balls TAKING ACCOUNT OF ORDER, you have calculated the permutations correctly at 3422. However you have forgotten to mention that each draw of 7 balls creates 21 pairs. So thats 21 chances to try and match another pair elsewhere on every draw. So the odds of a repeated pair TAKING ACCOUNT OF ORDER is 3422/21 = 162.9 to 1. The fact that it ocurred two consecutive draws has no relevance, as the two draws are independent.

Regarding your statement that the repeated triples you mention are statistically impossible, I think you will find that if you download 2000 sets of 7 random numbers up to 49 (Random.org https://www.random.org/integer-sets/ ) select "print the sets in random order" and examine them as forensically as you examine the UK lottery you will find EXACTLY the same behaviour, the same number of triples matches IN ORDER throughout those results too. I know because I've done it. Note that if you have 2000 draws, you are comparing each draw with each of the 1999 other draws.This makes it possible to make 2,001,000 comparisons between draws. With such a huge number of comparisons you are bound to get a large number of EXACT IN ORDER matches. You are only dealing with odds of about a hundred and thirty to one.
Comparing within seven balls not six, actually makes it easier to find matches, not harder. The odds against matching three anywhere, any order are only 20.9 to 1 ! Then you have to get the order right which is six times harder still. Impossible odds ? No it's simply not true.
