Here are the exact "math figures" of how many "winning numbers" someone can expect to "predict" when one selects a pool of lottery numbers [05 up to 33 main numbers] from a group of 33 lottery numbers (lotto 5/33).
Example :
When you pick 12 numbers from 33 numbers, the chance that exactly 3 of the 5 main winning numbers will be among the numbers you selected is 19.466%.
