Lotto 6/55 results Tag Cloud visualization

The Philippine's 6/55 Lotto fever is over and the winning number and the whooping 731M PhP  goes to a single winner in Luzon (Olongapo city). We do not know if the person will bless or curse the day he/she won. His/her life will change forever!

Interestingly,  I have come up with a Tag Cloud visualization of the frequency distribution of all the winning numbers (1 to 55) since it started 15 May 2010 for that particular draw. The Tag Cloud shows which numbers frequently came up during draws. The larger the font in the number, the frequent the number is picked up.  As the winning number combination indicated (11-16-42-47-31-37), the tag cloud is not really that helpful in getting the exact combinations. For the purpose of fun and understanding of how the Tag Cloud works, I guess this is the best example to appreciate the concept.
