People who think all lottery numbers have equal value are mistaken. Division payouts are divided among the number of winners, so combinations that are less frequently used have a higher expected value.
Eg. numbers 1-12 and 1-31 are more often used as people play significant dates, leading to high numbers having higher ev (still negative though).
I remember reading a paper somewhere on this but can't for the life of me source it.
