I always play the same six numbers:
1,2,3,4,5, and 6
Hey, don't criticize! Technically, I have the same odds of winning as you do.

If this is true, you're throwing your money down the drain, because these numbers are too far out of the bell curve of lottery drawings to ever be picked. In fact, the sum of these numbers only occur ONCE. Most lottery sums fall into a certain range, depending on the number field.
Yes, but here's an interesting story for you . . .
About 20 years ago there was a guy in New York who won what was the largest Pick 6 jackpot in the state's history (something like $25 million). One week later, the winning prize for the same Pick 6 was only about $10,000. Actually it was somewhere in the $1 million range, but the winning numbers was a series like 5-10-15-20-25-30, and there were so many people with that combination that they each ended up with about $10,000.
Whis is one reason why I don't understand people who insist on flocking to buy lottery tickets when the jackpot reaches $100 million. What, $5 million isn't enough to get you off your @ss to buy a lottery ticket -- especially when you consider that your odds of sharing a prize are higher for a larger jackpot?
