Are Cold Numbers "Due"?
It's tempting to think overdue numbers are "due" to appear soon, but every drawing is a fresh, independent event. The odds reset each time. That said, cold numbers can be useful for diversifying your picks away from the crowd — fewer people pick cold numbers, which could mean a less-shared prize if they do hit.
