Think outside the box. I say you should choose 51 - 59 - 67 - 73 - 82 - 98 - 105.

Are you crazy? Those aren’t good numbers at all.

5 isn’t too bad, but 49? What are you thinking?

Well, whatever numbers you pick, just send them to me along with the $5. I’ll pick up the tickets for you and send the winnings back.

If I could just find several hundred more people to do this I think I’d have a viable business model 🙂

Statistically, your odds of winning with these numbers are as good as anyone else.  
However, statistically it has been shown that so many people play these numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) world-wide, should they actually hit you will be sharing your prize with lots and lots of people, drastically lowering the amount of money you will get.

Go with quick pick - I think I read that most people win with quick pick numbers rather than numbers they selected on their own.

Sorry about that. I don’t play lotteries, so I’m unsure how many you need for Lotto Max. Anyway, delete the 2, and you’re left with seven numbers.
