Hypothesis - One of 5 or 13 selected

Basic information

        Balls drawn         Richard's success
# 1     03 05 14 22 30 44   two matches, one off by one
# 2     06 12 15 16 31 44   one match
# 7     09 17 32 36 42 44   two matches, three off by four

Select three from 05 13 28 46 48

Near Misses

With one of 5 and 13 selected, the other two near misses from lottery 7 must be selected from:
28 46 48

Lemma - 44 is selected

Analysis reveals this lemma is false.

Hence 44 is not selected

This gives the following requirements:
one from [5 13]            (Main hypothesis)
two from [9 32 36 42]      (lottery 7 matches)
two from [28 46 48]        (lottery 7 near misses)
one from [6 12 15 16 31]   (lottery 2)

Refutation

These possibilities give only one possible match (5) in lottery 1, rather than the two necessary.

Hypothesis Fails!
