makes no difference (and it's not luck, it's probability)

I've always had the same number... if you stick to the same numbers, they've gotta come up one day...

^ and there I do have a slight conflict.

I am (obviously) a techie person, so therefore understands probability and chance, that side of me knows luck and fate are a load of rubbish.

but I do believe in fate!

I bought my cousin lottery tickets for tonight...LD...I'm kinda praying he doesn't win as I have a feeling he won't share...

It's as likely that 123456 comes up as any other numbers..

The only difference as far as i'm aware is that the lucky dip numbers are a set of numbers that have not been chosen at the time of printing etc... so if all six came up on the draw it's all yours and not have to share it!

Ummmm... my dad's sister and her husband won 1.6m on the Littlewoods in 1993. They didn't give anyone a penny. My uncle even snubbed his own children from his first marriage. Money makes greedy people even greedier.

There was a time where even if 123456 DID come up, so many would have that combo, you'd end up sharing with housands....might still be true

The odds are the same but the probability is far less.
