G5 ... Congrads on the 42 hit with C4L ... speaking of numbers in sequence, like all those 7's that popped out.
Mink mentioned about all the winners ... this happened in PA in 2004 with the Cash 5 ... all 5 spaced numbers hit that night ... like playing "Hide and Seek" when you were a kid.
There were tons of winners and everybody got very little money ... if I was one of those winners and went to bed that night thinking ... "I finally hit some serious money !" ... then you check the next day and instead of thousands, you only get $439.00 ... here are the Cash 5 results for 06 Feb 2004 and then I put the Cash 5 results for yesterday, which are more normal ... either no winners or 1 or 2 winners.

Yes, it's always best to not play common sets of numbers. Most people will never win a jackpot in their lifetime but if you do finally win one ... you don't want hundreds of other people also winning.
Best of luck ... G5, congrads on the Take 5 win also ... you're on a roll.
