When you play the lottery do you just play lucky dip's? Or do you try and guess the numbers yourself?

I always go for lucky dip's, although im not sure i should

I play the same numbers for the Lotto draw everytime, but normally lucky dip the numbers for Euromillions.

I wrote a spreadsheet with every set of numbers in correct draw order from the first ever lottery; it predicted me 6 numbers and the order they would come out in based on a complex algorythm; anyway, suffice to say, they came out as 5 numbers and the bonus ball 6 weeks before I finished the spread sheet - True Dat!

You have just as much chance of winning with a ticket that says "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6" as you do of any other combination so it really doesnt matter.

Some National Lottery players might think that the odds of having consecutive numbers drawn are bigger than the odds of having so-called unconnected numbers, but that isn’t the case. The odds of any combination of numbers being drawn in the Lotto game are always 1 in 13,983,816, and a sequence like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is therefore just as likely as any other.

Of course, because of the way the human brain is wired by nature to recognise patterns wherever it encounters them, a sequence containing more than a couple of consecutive numbers is always going to catch our eye. It could even inspire a few players to change their approach and start entering numbers based on patterns rather than birthdays and anniversaries.

Get off your mathematical high horse, everyone knows you know the possibility of a 1,2,3,4,5,6 is the same as any other FFS
