It will not help you win - 150 may appear more often than other sums,
but it does not make an individual set adding up to150 any more likely
to be drawn than the set which adds up to 21.

Incidentally, the java applet at
http://www.btinternet.com/~se16/js/partitions.htm will do the
calculation if you ask for "Partitions with distinct terms of:" 150
with "Exact number of terms:" 6 and "Each term no more than:" 49
.
