Picking lotto numbers solely from birth dates has a 'secondary' disadvantage in that most players do it and most likely you will have to share the jackpot with many other winners. It is better to always include in your selections at least one high number.

High Card is a hand that is none of the above and is a weak hand. If no player has a pair or better, then the hand that contains the highest ranking card wins. If multiple players tie with the highest card, then the second highest card decides, followed by the third and so on.
