Do you ever look at the numbers and think? "They're Shit" Even though the chance is exactly the same as any other combination.

Yes, but I never put the lottery on anymore. Although I may do it tonight for the Euromillions on the off chance I might win.

tbh everyone says there's as much chance of 1 2 3 4 5 6 coming up as anything else but I bet if you compared all the the draws there's ever been with non-sequential numbers to the draws with sequential numbers the amount of random draws would far outweigh the number of sequentials.

I just look at the lotto ball stats and pick the most drawn, it means nothing but its probably the most tactically you can play

Apparently more people play with 1 2 3 4 5 6 every week than any other combination so even if you did win it would be split between 1000's of people.

I did earlier
i do, sometimes you can buy 5 rows and have the same numbers repeated in every row
i often pick my numbers, then change them 1 up or down, so 17 would be 16 or 18.
as usually i miss out by 1 number

They say it because it is fact
It's just human instinct which tells you it isn't.

I personally don't play it but my mum always says 'what are the chances of them coming out together' when 1 2 12 13 26 27 or something comes out.

I'm not arguing that it's fact, I just think that if you compared them all the above statement would be true.

I do mine via txt and don't even look at the numbers. Then await the congratulations txts and emails the next morning.
