While odds state that the answer is C (the odds are equal), 2 things come to mind:
1) When has a lotto EVER been 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (or however many that specific lotto has) ?
2) I would check the last couple of lotto drawings, to get a feel for what numbers have been drawn recently. By laws of averages, the numbers not drawn recently are 'more likely' to be drawn- that's specifically a psychological debate (math is unrelated)

The answer is c.

In the process of selecting a ball, once a specific number is chosen, all the remaining balls have an equal chance of being chosen regardless of whether a previous sequential number was chosen. Thus, is a 3 was the first ball, 1 or 2 could be next or 31or 32 They would all have an equal chance of being drawn.

Hope this helps.

I dont know if you noticed but A has 6 number and B has 7 numbers. If that is the case then A has more chances since it has one less number however if the original sets both have the same amount of numbers in them then the chances are equal.

the answer is c because the probability between each number is the same. It's not more likely to have 1 or 2 or any number

"C". The probability of any number to come up should be equal, unless the equipment is faulty.
