Is this just a superstition or is there any statistical proof to support the reputation?
The number 13 is most feared in western culture. it’s the reputation draws its history from the tradition that either Judas or Jesus was the 13th to take their seat at the Last Supper. Some biblical scholars suggest that the Last Supper was actually eaten the day before Passover, which would mean that the date of the Last Supper was the 13th of Nisan, a month on the Jewish calendar. Others suggest that the crucifixion itself was on the 13th of the Nisan.
Looking at the modern lottery drawing system, lottery balls are designed to give each ball the same chance of being drawn.
