Does the order of the lottery numbers matter?

I just bought my first lottery ticket and I was wondering if the order of the numbers on the lottery ticket matter? Because i entered my number in a specific order and the machine jumbles the numbers into a different order. Does this matter?Does the order of the lottery numbers matter?
For a big ';lotto'; or ';PowerBall'; or ';MegaMillions'; or any other jackpot drawing where you need to pick 5 or 6 numbers:





The machine didn't ';jumble'; the numbers into a different order. The machine put them into NUMERICAL order.





Check the ticket. They will always be put from smallest to largest.





Watch a drawing on TV. If the numbers come out 10, 2, 5, 28, 14, 1: The next day in the newspaper or on the lottery website, you'll see the numbers listed in numerical order: 1, 2, 5, 10, 14, 28.





***The only time order matters is if you're playing a ';play-3'; or ';play-4'; daily number. Then you can choose to get the number ';straight'; or mixed up in order to win.Does the order of the lottery numbers matter?
No, the order of the numbers doesn't matter with respect to winning or not. The lottery terminal, where you enter your numbers, will put them into numerical order no matter what order you put them on your entry slip.


Also, the result will be presented in numerical order, irrespective of the drawn order.





Some people think the order is important in trying to predict what numbers a particular lottery machine will 'pick'
NO, it does not matter
