About the combination "Only primes"

Primes are whole numbers divisible only by themselves and 1. They've fascinated mathematicians since Euclid (c. 300 BC); they're sometimes called the "atoms" of arithmetic. The combo 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 is the first six primes. In the lottery it brings nothing. The drum can't tell primes from non-primes.

One thing is slightly notable statistically: all six numbers sit below 14. Such "low" combos appear less often in actual draws because random distribution tends to spread wider. The chance of a six-match still is the standard 1 in 13,983,816. Picking primes is mathematical romance. Statistics has nothing to do with it.
