I saw somewhere that the probability of a sequence of say 7 consecutive numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 is lower than the sequence of 7 randomly generated digts.

Question

If I were to pick numbers for a lottery perhaps, would a sequence like that be a bad idea?

Answer 1

One thing to consider: if two or more people have the winning numbers, then the prize is split. So it’s best to choose numbers that no one else is likely to choose.
