  In Maryland Pick 4 in the last 9 days, 18 drawings combined. There has been 13 doubles, 2 double- doubles, only 3 singles.

  Statistically, this is unusual. Is it just random or a glitch in the lottery? I think something funny is going on. What do you

  think?

  

  When playing the lottery the thing that should matter the most is: Are you winning more than you spend?

  "Statistically, this is unusual."

  Who's doing your statistics?

  No one. But singles generally hit just over 50%, doubles 43%. Last 18 draws singles are just 16.6%
