Lotteries, scratchcards and bingo
Does playing the same lottery numbers every week improve my odds over changing numbers?
Direct answer
No. Whether you repeat the same valid combination or switch to another, each independent drawing gives that combination the same probability of winning.
How to use this answer
This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.
No. Each drawing is independent; repeating a combination does not improve its chance on a future draw.
Use the published game matrix and prize rules for the exact lottery or scratchcard. Identical tickets, rollover jackpots and claimed win patterns should be assessed using probabilities rather than intuition.
