About the combination "All odd numbers"

Six consecutive odd numbers, all under 12. The combo is a small paradox: minimally creative, yet psychologically appealing. People pick it often because odd numbers feel culturally "luckier". Mathematically that means nothing. The chance is the usual 1 in 13,983,816.

What is statistically unusual about this combo: across 70 years of German lottery history, a main draw of six consecutive odd numbers all below 12 has never come up. That is not proof it won't. The "every number equally likely" rule holds. All it says is: out of about 14 million possible combos, none of them individually is "overdue".
