Why you shouldn't use numbers that are consecutive or in the same group

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. The lottery player Richard Lustig, who won seven times in two years, actually used this as one of his techniques. Additionally, he advises against using identical group or digit-ending numbers.

The algorithm is designed in such a way that it is going to choose the numbers randomly because he knows that some people are going to choose numbers that are close to each other and that is why you should avoid it.

While choosing numbers that are consecutive or in the same group may seem like a good strategy for playing the lottery, it actually decreases your chances of winning. This is because most lottery systems use a random number generator to select the winning numbers, and so choosing numbers that are close together will not increase your odds of winning.
