I'm opening this thread because I am curious about what the general trend is among the forum members regarding this topic: if you have to choose, do you prefer to pick some random numbers, even using a random number generator, or you prefer to select your "lucky" ones?
I'm not superstitious most of the times, and I frequently select the automatic filling option with random numbers so as not to waste time, instead of selecting them by hand. In the end, the chances are always the same no matter the numbers you choose. But I'm asking this question because there are times when I prefer to follow my inspiration and select "special" numbers, or avoid "ugly" ones.
It's funny, we all know "random number generators", but I've done a search and there are also "lucky number generators" based on numerology
So the question is: you don't care about the numbers and fill them automatically, as they all have the same chances to win, or you tend to pick your preferred ones (birthdays, favourite numbers,...) manually?

While I don't believe in superstition or anything like lucky numbers, if that is what someone wants to pick then it's just as good. What I did find curious when looking into things like the lottery, is how much of a disparity certain numbers will have in the amount of times they are draw over years. While you might expect them all to be fairly close to an average number, there are actually quite large differences where some balls might be picked 30 times out of a thousand (for example) and others might be 75 times out of a thousand. It made me wonder if there is something else at play here, like the slight extra weight or aerodynamics of lottery balls which might effect how frequently they get selected.
