When playing the lottery, stay away from consecutive numbers and groups of the same numbers.

Yes, each number is chosen at random from the pool. However, data from earlier draws reveals an intriguing pattern. Getting consecutive numbers in the same draw is quite uncommon. In fact, Richard Lustig, a lottery player who won seven times in two years, used this as one of his methods. Additionally, he advises against using identical group or digit-ending numbers.

In other words, make an effort to draw from a variety of numbers in the pool. Don't pick just one cluster, and don't choose based on a trend.

You are absolutely correct. This is because these patterns are not random, and are therefore less likely to occur than a truly random set of numbers. In fact, many lottery experts recommend avoiding patterns such as these in favor of truly random numbers.
