Lottery numbers

[DaisyRaine90]

DP always does a lucky dip
He says if he picked numbers and didn’t do it one week and the numbers didn’t come up he wouldn’t be able to live with it.

I think there’s no point if you don’t pick the numbers.
AIBU or is he?

WWYD??

YABU I'm totally with your husband on this one!

Sorry, I'm with your DH.

Same likelihood of not winning at all whether it's 6 random numbers or indeed 1 2 3 4 5 6.
I'd probably buy a chocolate bar instead.

I’m with your dp -I am beholden to my lottery numbers - picked them when I was 14 and have played them every week. It’s like another bill to pay. Would never forgive myself if I didn’t play them and they came up.

I feel the same as your DP!

Tbh I wish he didn’t want to do the lottery at all. But I think if you pick the numbers at least your having a bit of fun.

It's whether you're thinking of picking numbers as in picking different numbers each week or having set numbers you pick each week. Because missing a week and realising 'your' numbers came up would not in anyway be 'a bit of fun'! I say this as someone who picked set numbers from when the lottery was created and hate that I am bound to them because of the scenario your husband described!

I’m going to start picking random numbers when he asks for a lucky dip. Why should a machine have the fun? 😂

You'll find yourself in exactly the same trap.

Actually, lucky dip is better, a random selection of numbers makes it less likely that you will have to share a prize with anyone else. Numbers that are deliberately chosen will not be as random.
