But people are involved and people are allowed to choose their numbers on the UK lottery, of course.
And people are more likely to choose certain combinations of numbers than others.
There's actually been quite a lot of research on what goes on.

In many lotteries, the most popular choice or kind of up there where the most, several most popular is 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42.
