Most people start off with lower numbers and then go up. The tickets are setup to fill out that way. 3, 14, 28, 37, 56, and 63

It’s just not right that you win $1.6 BILLION and you only take home $444 million. Which is an amount I could squeeze by on but “the man” has to take his cut even in a lottery.

And most are high numbers
