Naturally I had assumed that noone would have been crazy enough to play 20-23-24-27-36 the night after 21-22-25-26-35 played. Yes it's statistically possible but most people aren't thinking about technical statistics of possibility, they are thinking about what is more likely to happen than what technically can happen. And this combination right after that combination isn't or should not have been likely even though obviously possible.

It goes to show that crazy pays. That player is laughing all the way to the bank having unapologetically selected that combination. It is always inspiring seeing people win by playing the unlikely. It means that nothing is unlikely even if it's unlikely. If you like something play it, don't second guess yourself, don't care about what numbers just played because every draw is a fresh draw.
