Although winning the lottery really does come down to pure luck, new data has revealed that there is one day that seems to be particularly auspicious.
According to officials from The Lott, among the Set for Life draw winners, Mondays appear to be surprisingly lucky.
Since the game's launch in 2015, 158 Australians have won $20,000 every month for 20 years, and of those winners, 23% won the draw on a Monday—almost twice the amount of wins recorded on a Thursday, the least lucky day of the week.
The new data also reveals that February has been the luckiest month for Set for Life winnings, followed closely by January and August—with June and March sitting at the bottom.
