Default Lottery Numbers

Was listening to the radio this morning, and apparently there are so many people who pick the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 that if those numbers came up and the jackpot was £5,000,000 they would only get £2500 each!!!!

Which shows just what chance anyone has of winning the jackpot

They need to re-structure it now.

To have the best chance of winning the jackpot all to yourself you need to choose numbers or a set of numbers that no one else would choose. so, choose numbers over 31. People tend to pick numbers that relate to loved ones birthdays. If your number is over 31, it cannot be a date!

Also, choose two consecutive numbers. People for some reason like to spread their numbers out so are unlikely to choose say 34 and 35.

Alternatively, you could go to the Casino and put a few quid on black
