In a lottary when picking six numbers do the numbers have to go from least to highest, in order

Question

ex you have all the way up to 49 to choose from

1 2 3 4 5 6 or can it be 5 2 3 1 6 4

Answer 1

I dont think it matters...

Answer 2

I think so

Answer 3

you can pick them in any order, but usually they are from lowest to highest. The order of the numbers dont matter when it comes down to it unless you are playing the 3 and 4 digits

Answer 4

The order doesn't matter. The numbers on your tickets are always printed in order from lowest to highest.

Answer 5

Doesn't really matter but when you fill out the form, it will be in order, just because of the form.

When the winners are picked (when they come out of the machine) they are not in order but are put in order when announced right after that.

Answer 6

I've never seen that kind of lottery where the order matters.

If you pick 6 5 4 3 2 1 (for example), when the ticket prints, it is placed in numerical order, not the order you picked them.

When the draw happens, they always publish the results in numerical order too, from smallest to largest, and then the bonus ball if the game has one.

Don't worry, even with that kind concession, your odds are still several million to one!

Answer 7

Generally speaking, the machine will always print the numbers in order from smallest to largest.  You can't mix them up.  Obviously when they draw the numbers, they won't be in order (that would look suspicious, eh?)  If you get a print-out of the winning numbers, they will be in numerical order like yours.

So, are you a millionaire?!
