"Statistically no less unlikely to win than any other combination! Equally as likely as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 being pulled "Is it? On the face of it yes, but... Once a single number (1-9) has been drawn, there are only 8 left, but 9 of each of the other groups, (10-19, 20-29 etc), so isn't it more likely one of those will be pulled next than a single number? Wondering about these things is what keeps me awake at night. | |||
"I might go and put the same numbers on, just in case they come in, you'll be gutted if half of fab does the same and they come in "1 in 28 million or something daft, I think (of winning the jackpot). | |||

It doesn't feel right that the odds should be the same for a consecutive 'group' but it is as likely to be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 as it is the OPs 2,3,13,33,36, 1,11 | |||
