Responsible play

Lottery games are a form of gambling. Treat the cost of a ticket as the price of entertainment, never as an investment or a way to recover losses.

Every draw is independent and every combination is equally likely. Historical frequency, “hot” or “cold” numbers, and gap analysis are descriptions of the past — they do not change the probability of a future draw.

If you or someone you know is experiencing problems with gambling, contact a responsible-gambling helpline in your country (for example, the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-GAMBLER in the United States).
