Euromillions Lucky Dips
16 Answers
I certainly didn't know this - won't be using the lucky dip option any more!
Taken from the actual Euromillions web-site:
"The easiest way to make sure that you are playing random lottery numbers is to use our free random lottery number generator. The advantage of using this over playing lucky dips is that each set of lottery numbers is generated purely at random giving each player a unique set of numbers, unlike lucky dips which may be allocated to groups of players reducing your chances of winning a solo jackpot."
This may well explain why 133 people shared the jackpot 8 weeks after the National lottery started - I have never seen any explanation for this bizarre result.(14th Jan 1995)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.So is the difference being the random number generator selects a set of 6 numbers that nobody else has and a lucky dip just randomly selects a set of 6 numbers which may or may not have been selected before?
However, at the end of the day, whatever six numbers you have, no matter how they have been selected, you have exactly the same chance of winning.
