Give me just one number between 1 and 49.

I will pick the first 6 numbers given.


Remember - just one number please!

What are the chances of that happening...?

Same chance as any other combination of 6 numbers.

There are more non-sequential combinations than there are sequential combinations, meaning that there is more chance of a non-sequential combination than a sequential combination overall, however you only pick 6 numbers on any given ticket meaning that the chances are just the same.

*rolls eyes*

I know. I did enough combination and permutation calculations back in A-level there's no way I couldn't know. I meant what are the chances that 4 *ahem* completely different people would post within minutes of each other offering the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4.

The only thing I'd say is this:

Do you reckon that more people pick sequential combinations thinking to themselves no-one's gonna be dumb enough to pick sequential numbers!!! So if you were to win on those numbers, would you be more likely to have to share out the jackpot with more people?

Or, do more people pick non-sequential numbers?

Or is it the same?

I'm pretty sure there is a core of people who pick 1,2,3,4,5,6 every single week.
