    Likewise. I told a FC member they *must* have won something as they had several numbers but not in the order picked. The rest of the FC then informed me that it wasn't the case as US lotteries do the back to front thing. That was the first I'd heard of it, either in game or in real life. It's completely alien to us in Europe as reading things backwards isn't a feature of our indigenous languages.

    Logically it should be the same in the US as they too are taught to read and write from left to right...which is why I find it odd that they also use a very counter intuitive system over there. Over here ours makes sense, your taught to read and write left to right, the draw is left to right as is the matching numbers system. Sounds to me in the US they had some guy randomly choose to do the opposite to mess with their heads and now they just used to it instead of it making sense language wise. Another example would be like being taught to drive on the left or right side of the road yet when pass your test your expected to drive on the opposite side you were taught just for lulz or the desire to see more car crashes...it makes no sense to me. The current system makes literally no sense in nations where you are taught to read and write from left to right.
