Actually, I love birthdays 
(well, maybe not so much in recent years).
But what I'm talking about is 'birthday numbers' in the lottery -- the popular practice of using family birthdays to pick lotto numbers. Birthdays range from 1/01 to 12/31, so 1-12 would get hit pretty hard under this system and also 13-30, 31 a little less so.
This can make quite a differnce to prize payouts, as shown by two recent Canada 6/49 draws:
9/01/10: 13-32-35-39-46-48 (One birthday number)
5/6+..........$307,383
5/6 ..............$2,465
4/6 ..................$84
9/11/10: 3-9-11-13-27-43 (Five birthday numbers)
5/6+...........$26,890
5/6.................$708
4/6..................$29.90
Now which draw would you rather win???? Me, I think it would be a good idea to focus on the higher numbers if you want to win the bigger payouts.
For what its worth,
