Sum the lowest possible set and the largest possible set to establish your boundries.
For this lottery it is:
Lower boundry: [1][2][3][4][5][1] = 16
Upper boundry: [50][49][48][47][46][20] = 218
Mid Point: 101
Last nights draw is 45
The sum of any set will fall somewhere between these two boundries (16 and 218), with majority landing close or to the sides of the mid point.
