The part that matters
Keno and lottery style games usually carry the highest house edge of anything on the platform, sometimes several times higher than the card games. The size of the jackpot tends to distract from that. No combination of numbers is better than any other, and lucky numbers or birthdays make no difference to the result.
No strategy, app or signal group can remove the house edge. Anyone promising guaranteed wins is selling you something.
Questions
Do some numbers come up more often?
No. Every draw is independent. Numbers drawn previously have no bearing on the next draw.
What is the best approach to lottery games?
Mathematically these are the least favourable games on any platform. If you play them, treat them as entertainment and keep the stakes very small.
