Lottery
Just checking the lottery. Nothing again. But the numbers this week were in 2 sequences of 3
24, 25,26
38,39,40
Seem to remember reading somewhere that the most common pick was 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 and that if these numbers came up it would be shared by 1000s
So the question is......
How do you pick your numbers if you participate?

I always do a lucky dip, my mate does his favourite chelsea legends, and today he got a tenner. Alot of people do the lost numbers and apparantly if you won everyone would get like 26 quid lol

With an equal chance of any random or sequence coming up, if you want to increase your probability of winning a jackpot, without having to share, you are better off picking a random sequence with a majority of numbers above 31.

Lucky dip, i feel sorry for the people who chose specific numbers when it first started as they're tied in for life.
