I guess there’s no way to prove they weren’t randomly selected, hahaha.

That’s not mathematically weird at all. If you were to make your number selection 1 2 3 4 5 6 it would have the exact same chance of winning as, say, 3 15 21 24 33 41.

What kind of stupid combination is that? That’s the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!

Since that idiotic combination has the same chance of winning as every other combination, it stands to reason it is all idiotic.
