    It's pretty well known that numbers under 32 are more widely in use by players due to birth dates and as such if you use 32+ then your chances of winning more money are increased as it's a pool game not a fixed prize. The odds of getting 3,4,5,6, 5+1 remain the same but the odds of winning more money are better if you use non birthday numbers.

    IIRC there was a stat a few years back that 30,000 approx. chose 1,2,3,4,5,6. The jackpot would be a pittance if those were the numbers out.


    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11033907/Mad-lottery-draw-three-winning-numbers-pays-out-more-than-four.html For example.

    Ah, but that's the choice of the players and the combinations themselves have equal chances of being picked. That's simply about the likelihood or not of sharing the prizes due to the number of other people picking combinations with common numbers - probably another example of people following the common herd yet again and, as usual, being more likely to lose out by doing so. Pick unpopular, uncommon numbers instead*. I'd have an equal chance of winning (whatever the prize amount actually was, whether it was then shared, again equally, or not) if I ever actually played the lottery at all - but the likelihood is so remote that I don't bother and, of high probability, I save money that way. I reckon generally the lottery is a mug's game as people are most unlikely to win.

    *This is no guide to winning btw - depending on what the jackpot price is and whether or not it has 'rolled over', a shared prize one draw could be worth more than an unshared one in another draw.

    Quoted in the Telegraph (as linked above):
    "Four numbers on the lottery last night. Won £15 - less than the prize for 3 numbers. I am finding this genuinely hilarious."

    I have just been looking on the internet at the glorious pictures of the poppies at the tower....truly beautiful and very thought provoking...also reading that Boris is supporting the petition to keep them as a fixture rather than them going to all those who have purchased....


    I know there was a little on here about it last night so I wont steer it down that route again but I do hope that individuals do get their poppies......I have ordered 2,one for my husbands 93 year old gran who is going to cherish it we know,and the money raised will hopefully make a difference to a few worthy charities.


    It was a spectacular sight but the upkeep of something that was only supposed to last a short time would need to be considered...so I'm firmly in the camp of letting them go,and remembering what they have taught young and old about the scale of the great war in this anniversay year.
