 Re: What are the chances? (Random Windows Humor)There's a good reason not to play 1 2 3 4 5 6 in the lottery. It is one of the most comon combinations played. Therefore, if you do win with 1 2 3 4 5 6 you will be splitting the prize with many more people than with other combinations.

Re: What are the chances? (Random Windows Humor) Really, didn't know that... then a random choice is probably better. "Better" in the context that you still need to play every day a million of years to have a decent chance to win.

Re: What are the chances? (Random Windows Humor) The probability of winning with 123456 is the same as with 532761 or any other 6 digit combination.
The probability of being a single winner with '123456' is much lower; virtually 0. Ko _________________ Ko Bros |
