Default MAC Address change

O hai.

So my provider is VM and as we all know, the IP address doesn't change when switching it ON/OFF. So I have followed a guide in this forum and bought myself a Netgear router and I plug them in, change the MAC Address and then reset the VM, get a new IP and I'm off to the races.
BUT, here's the question:

I change my MAC Address by changing the last two digits at the end. 01 becomes 07 and 07 becomes 10 etc.
Most of the times I get the same IP address that matches the IP that I got last time when I changed the two digits, but sometimes I get totally different IP.
Is this normal or should I worry about it?

PS:
I record every single IP that I have used and it's listed together with the PC user that I used it with. So that User A might have 3 different IP addresses but these IP addresses will not be used with User B.

Cheerio.

It just means that the lease time of that IP has expired.

Nothing to worry about.
