Expected hits are the number of hits each number would have had, if all numbers
had hit an equal number of times.
For a simple example, a pick 5 out of 30 game, if there have been only 6 drawings in the lotto game, then each number (1-30) would have an expected hit of 1. 5 numbers x 6 games = 30 numbers (each number hitting once only), which is the same as the number format of the game. Or another example, for a pick-6 out of 40, with 76 drawings, each number would have an expected hit of (6x76 / 40) = 11.4.
If you compare the actual HITS with the EXPECTED HITS, you can immediately see if a lotto number is hotter or colder than normal. The Expected Hits can be seen in the Quick Stats Chart in Advantage Plus.
