Game of chance question

Hi to All,

I like to have a ticket in Tattslotto on Saturday nights, and although I only play a small number of games I keep the same numbers.

Some of my numbers are random and some are consecutive, like one to six, or thirteen to eighteen and so on.

The question is this : due to tattslotto being a game of chance, is the probability of getting six consecutive numbers equal to getting six random numbers.

Or would the odds of getting six random numbers be more probable than getting six consecutive numbers.

I have always pondered over this, and if I follow what I was taught in maths, about the laws of probability, there should be equal chance either way I play the game, or should there be.

What are your thoughts on this please

Leon
