This is very common in real world lotteries. They always count from last to first, anything else doesn't matter.

Maybe where you are but every single lottery where I am and most in Europe work the other way around.

Pick from left to right and numbers drawn from left to right. Winning numbers matched left to right.

Sure, some work the other way but I wouldn't say it is that common. It seems counter intuitive to have to pick opposite to drawn. Would make more sense if had to pick right to left and drawn right to left with right to left numbers matching equals win or pick left to right and drawn left to right and left to right matching numbers wins. Picking left to right yet drawn right to left and right to left being the winning combination opposite to the way in which numbers are picked is very odd to a vast amount of people I am guessing, myself included.

All the ones I know of here in the US is also like this, also order doesn't matter either, if you have the number, you have the number.

You people also drive on the wrong side of the road too so I am not surprised.

If I pick 1234 but the draw is 4321 it equals a win and if number drawn equals 1234 equals lose but that makes little to no sense why you wouldn't pick your numbers same as they are drawn. It defies common sense, there is no reason I can see as to why you would force people to have to put their numbers in reverse in order to win in countries which read and write in the opposite way.

In Japan for example I can understand why they draw in reverse, because they read from right to left but in that situation it surely would make sense to pick from right to left too instead of what we have here picking left to right. Even in the US you are taught to write from left to right and read from left to right so why would it make any sense to make the draw right to left which is the opposite to both how you read and how you write...it's counter intuitive. It's like buying a drink but having to stand on your head upside down to drink it.

Only if I had a few too many. But I guess there is a bit of misunderstanding. I meant it was like you said. They are not read from back to front, and order doesn't matter. When I played my first Jumbo and got the results I was like " say what, its backwards"?

Huh. Weird. Every lottery I know (in my European country) does it the way I described, to the point where I assumed every lottery that uses that number system does it that way. Guess I was wrong.

I'm curious though where people are getting this "drawing order" from, as far as I know you just get the drawn number listed all at once, right? So no way to know if it's drawn from left to right or right to left, unless I'm missing something. Same for the picking of the numbers, you just pick them all at the same time, don't you?
