- madcaptenor 6y agoActually no, because this lottery picks five balls from a pool of 50 and then one ball from a pool of 20. So there are only 15 possibilities where the whole draw is six consecutive numbers (from 1-2-3-4-5/6 to 15-16-17-18-19/20).
- greenshackle2 6y agoDoes draw order matter in this lottery? Cause if not it's a lot more likely.
- denni9th 6y agoNo, in fact the numbers were not drawn sequentially but arranged in order after. The only exception is the powerball, the 10 in this case, which always is last in the draw and positioned last in the final numbers.
