The sum range and parity are within expected values. The bonus ball, 5, has been a frequent occurrence over the 1-year and 3-year baselines.

Recommendations:

• Consider the 3-Year and 5-Year Baselines: While the 1-month and 1-year data can be useful, the 3-year and 5-year baselines provide a more robust understanding of number frequencies and trends.
• Monitor Bonus Ball Behavior: The bonus ball is a significant factor. Pay close attention to the frequency of each bonus ball over the longer term.
• Balance Number Selection: Consider a balanced selection of numbers, including both hot and cold numbers, to increase the chances of matching.
• Sectional Analysis: The sectional analysis can be used to create a balanced set of numbers.
