An expert has shared a “wiser approach” to winning the Euromillions prize.
Alexander Korsager, Chief Gaming Officer at Casino.org, said: “Every EuroMillions combination, including something that appears orderly like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, is just as statistically likely to win as any other.
“That’s because the game is a random number draw, each line has an equal chance of 1 in 139,838,160 of hitting the jackpot, regardless of how the numbers look to us.
“Humans are pattern-seeking by nature, so we tend to dismiss sequences that look ‘too neat’ or ‘too random’, even though randomness itself has no bias.
“Many people choose to play the same numbers week after week for sentimental reasons, such as birthdays, anniversaries, or just habit. But doing so doesn’t increase your odds.
“It introduces a risk: if you forget to enter your usual numbers one week and they win, the emotional impact could be devastating.
“That’s why Lucky Dip entries, which are randomly generated by the system, are often a wiser approach; they remove emotion from the equation while offering the same statistical chance of winning.”
