By definition, if there are numbers which are chosen more often than those randomly generated, then there must also be numbers which are chosen less often. I'm not saying that those numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6 - just that they exist.
So we are left with an exercise in psychology - should you pick a sequence that seems common, because the people thinking about it will pick something else because it seems common? Or should you not pick the sequence because people will pick the sequence because they think that people thinking about it will pick something else because it seems common?
Some actual data would solve this, but I imagine the lottery folks would be reluctant to release it.
