What if you had invested in an ETF instead…
The same weekly amount, invested monthly into an S&P 500 ETF, would be worth today:
Gain: +654.006 € (+17,350% over 4.997 draws)
We use the S&P 500 with dividend reinvestment. The MSCI World is very comparable in the long run.

About the combination "Square numbers"
One, four, nine, sixteen, twenty-five, thirty-six. The squares of the numbers 1 to 6. For everyone who had a good time with mathematics at school, this sequence has a special appeal. It seems ordered, well thought out, a little smarter than a random pick.
Mathematically, it is still exactly as likely or unlikely as any other combination. And because the pattern is well known, several people pick it independently of one another. The square numbers also lie mostly in the low range, which puts them in the same zone as the many birthday players. Nice to look at, but no advantage at the drawing drum.
