Week 16 2026 pool draws — perm 3 from 5

How the five did in recent weeks
The same method, every week, scored after the results: 1 of the last 6 weeks had three or more of the five draw, and on average 1.5 of the five drew.
What a perm 3 from 5 means
You play every group of three from those five numbers — 10 lines. One of them wins if three or more of the five draw.
14.7% — the chance three or more of the five draw. That is roughly once in 7 weeks.
23.1% if you add the sixth number and perm 3 from 6 — 20 lines instead of 10.
Each number on its own is about a one-in-five chance. That is why this is a perm and not a banker: no number on any coupon is close to certain, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. A perm spreads the same five numbers across ten lines so you do not need all three in the one line you chose.
