Definition:
In lottery sports betting, “Successive Numbers To Be Drawn” (also known as consecutive numbers) means you are betting that at least two or more numbers drawn in a lottery draw will be next to each other numerically, e.g.:
- Examples of successive numbers:
- 3 & 4
- 14, 15, 16
- 27 & 28
These are consecutive integers in the list of drawn numbers.
Example in Practice:
Suppose a lottery draw involves picking 6 numbers out of 1–49.
The draw result is:
3, 8, 14, 15, 27, 32
- Here, 14 & 15 are successive numbers.
- So, if you bet “Successive Numbers – Yes”, you win.
Types of Betting Options for Successive Numbers:
Depending on the sportsbook or betting provider, you might see:
| Betting Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Successive Numbers – Yes | At least one pair (or more) of consecutive numbers drawn |
| Successive Numbers – No | No pair of consecutive numbers appears |
| Exactly X Successive Numbers | Predict exactly how many successive numbers will appear (e.g., 2) |
| 2 or More Sets of Successive Numbers | Predict multiple groups of consecutive numbers (e.g., 12&13 and 27&28) |
Probability Insight:
- Consecutive numbers appear often in lottery draws.
- Studies have shown that 30–50% of draws include at least one pair of consecutive numbers.
- It’s a common pattern because there’s no rule preventing back-to-back numbers.
Betting Tips:
- Track Past Results
Look for trends: if past draws have had frequent consecutive numbers, chances are that trend might continue. Use historical stats from your lottery provider. - Go for “Yes” in Big Draws
In lotteries drawing 6 or 7 numbers from 40+ numbers, the probability of at least one pair of successive numbers is relatively high. “Yes” is often the value pick. - Avoid Betting on Too Many Sets
Multiple pairs of successive numbers (e.g., 2 or 3 sets in one draw) are less likely, so use low stakes or avoid if you’re risk-averse. - Pair with Other Markets
Combine with other lottery bets like:- Total odd/even numbers
- Sum of drawn numbers
- Divisibility (e.g., any number divisible by 5)
- Live or Hot Lottery
Play in high-frequency (e.g., 5-minute) lottery games for faster result cycles. Test the pattern using small bets first.
