But drawing 7 means only 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 & 79 can win.
If you draw 0 first ball there is still a chance that all numbers can still win if the 2nd ball is also 0.

But ) is the only ball that can trigger a redraw
If ball 1 to 8 is drawn the winning ball can only take 2 balls.
If 00 is drawn there is a total redraw so
If 00 is drawn the winning number say 07 could take 4 balls to win.

The first ball is drawn it it is a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or an 8 then there is no chance of a redraw and whatever the 2nd ball is that number wins.
However if ball 0 is drawn first then drawn again hence number 00 then both balls are redrawn.
Does this put numbers 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 at a statistical disadvantage?
Thanks

Lotterty numbers are 1 to 83
Two balls are drawn from two seperate pots of balls 0 to 9.
If the 1st ball is 1 and the second ball is 7 number 17 wins.
However if ball 0 is drawn and then 0 is drawn again there is a complete redraw of both balls.
Is therefore numbers 01 to 09 at a statistical disadvantage of winning.
Thanks
