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: +690.384 € (+17,350% over 4.989 draws)
We use the S&P 500 with dividend reinvestment. The MSCI World is very comparable in the long run.

About the combination "The lucky 7"
Seven is globally the most popular lucky number: seven days of the week, seven wonders, seven continents, seven chakras. Players who pick multiples of 7 (7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42) combine that with the symmetry of an arithmetic progression. Twice as appealing, twice as often picked.
The chance for six matches is exactly the standard 1 in 13,983,816. The distribution is what's statistically interesting: 7 to 42 covers less than half the number range. In actual random draws such cluster combos appear less often than evenly spread ones. If the combo does come up, that feels "remarkable". Mathematically it's still pure noise.
