1-2-3-4-5-6

Catchalotto’s view on why you ought to never play 1-2-3-4-5-6 in Lotto

A while ago, Camelot, the UK National Lottery Official Operator, used to release combinations that were played most often. Not surprisingly, combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 was one of them for the reason that it was entered into each Lotto Draw by many individuals. And by many, I mean thousands!!! If I remember correctly, at various stage, there were around 10,000 tickets purchased for each Lotto draw containing this combination. This gives me to the reason number 1 why this kind of combination should be prevented like the plague.

Reason Number 1:

You will find a lot of tickets being bought containing combination 1-2-3-4-5-6, the jackpot payout would be very low certainly should this combination win!

Let’s say you play 1-2-3-4-5-6 and it does win (yippee!). Let’s say you are in to share an average 3,000,000 jackpot with 10,000 other jackpot winners. This means that your share of winnings would be an unpleasant 300! Yeah, okay, still good money, beats the tenner that you get for guessing three numbers, but absolutely, this isn’t the money you have in mind when you dream regarding winning the jackpot, correct?!

There are many reasons why so many of us play this combination. It is easy to remember… It’s easy to mark on a lottery ticket… Some are lazy/short of time to choose a good non-biased non-ordered combination…Statistically combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 has the same chances of being drawn (1 in 13,983,816), so why not play it… Some people play the same combination every time, so it could be that they played this combination for a while and do not like to give it up now in case if it does come up… Camelot no longer announces combinations that are played most commonly, numerous are simply unaware how many people they will have to share their jackpot with should this combination be drawn.

Whatever the reason is, it’s a pound down the drain when 1-2-3-4-5-6 is played because of the previously mentioned reason alone. There is on the other hand another reason why you should NOT play this combination.

Reason Number 2:

As mentioned above, statistically, the combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 has the same chances of being drawn, in other words you have 1 chance of winning the jackpot with this combination and 13,983,815 chances of NOT winning it. That is statistically.

However, if you look at vast amount of literature that is available these days with regard to lottery analysis and probability laws, you’d notice that most authors share a slightly different story. Many believe that the combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 is biased and is guaranteed to lose because it’s far out of balance to show up in a random drawing. This opinion is according to substantial research undertaken by many who analyzed the draws of past lottery games from around the globe!!! If six consecutive numbers have never been drawn in any of the lotteries throughout the world, and 6 numbers from one number group have never been drawn either, then what chance does the combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 have?

It is thought that the least probable combinations to be drawn are those at the tail ends of a bell curve. These are the lowest six numbers and the highest 6 numbers of any lotto game.

Now onto the good news. The good news is that Lottorino can help with Lotto combination selection. It includes several filters and checks whether a certain combination is biased or not. Lottorino consults probability laws rather than those of possibility. The idea is that whilst it’s possible for any combination to be drawn, particular combinations are less probable to come up.

If you ask Lottorino to analyze 1-2-3-4-5-6, it would assign a low Lottorino score of 2%, meaning that this combination seems to be biased in some way and as a result assigns the probability of it being drawn as 2% (the percentage would rely how many rules/filters have been broken). By sieving out this and many other combinations, your lotto ticket simply stands better chances of being a winning one!

If you take a look at Lottorino’s scores of all officially drawn UK Lotto combinations in the past, you’d see that some do seem to have a low Lottorino score (i.e. Lottorino would have suggested NOT to play it), but 95% of time, Lottorino score is 50% or above (Catchalotto’s recommended advisable limit). So 95% of time, the odds would’ve been indeed improved by Lottorino.
