do all the lottery results have the same odds

411 views

I was thinking do all the results have the same odds in say a standard 8 ball lottery, it feels like to me you’re less likely to get a sequential set (eg. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, not necessarily drawn in that order) than get a heap of balls at random, it just makes me wonder if the odds are the same or if I’m over thinking.

The odds of getting any specific set are the same, there are just a lot more sets that aren’t sequential, so when the numbers are drawn it’s usually a set that’s not sequential.
