They don't have to be in order.

I don't think the lottery has ever gotten to a billion dollars, let alone 100 billion. But every combination of 5 and 1 numbers has the same chance of coming up so your odds are the same as everyone else's.

But if you don't like the run of consecutive numbers try using the sum of the day and month of the birthdays to mix it up. For example, if your kid's birthday's are Feb 8, July 9, and October 10 so you've been playing 8, 9, 10 use 10 (Feb 8 = 2+8), 16 (7+9) and 20 (10+10) instead.

In my office in Chicago I'd go into the little bodega to get a coke or snack, I remember being in line behind a waitress at the restaurant in the building, she spent $40 on two packs of cigarettes and scratch off tickets. Talk about two ways to destroy yourself and your finances, wow.
