Im_All_Me asked:


For instance, if a lottery offers an opportunity to pick 7 numbers, are the chances that the official numbers are 21,22,23,24,25,26,27 (even if picked out of order like 26,22,27,21,24,25,23), the same as if the numbers picked were something like 11,2,34,6,9,28,19?

d h asked:


Would it be legal to buy a ticket with every single combination of Euromillions Lottery numbers to guarantee a win? Obviously it wouldn’t be worth it if it was like 5 million and there were 4 million combinations but if its a big rollover i.e. now – 88 million pounds u could make a big profit if you did do this!!

trickstermisterr asked:


As far as I know, u don’t need a citizenship in any given country to take part in its lottery. So if someone was to apply to most big ones during a week.. What would the odds of winning be..?

For example, the lottery is on saturday night in Turkey.. In other countries its on a different day. So its possible that every day, there is a lottery somewhere. Get my point?
