    It would have been very funny if your syndicate had those 5 numbers, then this thread would have become bigger than TPD

      'This is because five of the six main numbers drawn were multiples of seven – 07, 14, 21, 35 and 42 – and clearly this is a hugely popular set of numbers.'

      I don't get it. Why should multiples of seven be popular?

            So.

            Are you better to go for multiples of 7 and win £15, or go for unrelated numbers and win £0 (but £100,000 if 5 of those numbers had come up)?

              You are better to run the lottery than play it

                Are the entry forms ordered in rows 7 wide?

                I remember it used to be 5 - so when multiples of 5 came up back in 95/96 it was a very low jackpot.

                Most popular choice is 1,2,3,4,5,6.

                Lottery is a tax on the stupid. Only thing you can really do is to try to make you choice so rare that no-one else will choose it.....

                      Premium Bonds give me 2 times more than bank right now (after taking into account taxation), capital is safe, can win next week couple of million quid, what's not to like?

                      ... Other than not winning anything this month!
