A quick word on lottery numbers
Random picks are just as likely to win as numbers you choose yourself, but they have one small advantage. People love picking birthdays, so numbers from 1 to 31 are over chosen. If a random set with higher numbers wins, you are less likely to share the prize. Please play responsibly.
