They told the : "Avoid numbers that are related to dates like your birthday and anniversary.

"These numbers fall between 1 and 31, so even though the probability of the number being selected is the same if you play numbers above 31, it may increase the chance of you not having to share the prize with other players."

It turns out that since October 2015, there are six numbers in particular that have been the least-frequently picked in the lottery.

This includes: 30, 6, 21, 48, 43 and 18.

The co-hosts of the money podcast also recommend "less popular" lottery games as you could increase the odds of winning with less competitors.

In contract, those slightly ahead of the game may want to know the most popular numbers drawn.

These include: 37, 52, 58, 39, 42 and 27.

One TikTok user commented: "Have you ever won a lottery?"

"It is not a normal distribution. There are skews."

Someone else said: "Ouu this is good to know! Thank you!"
