Top Lottery Tips from a Winner

There are several strategies adopted for lottery players. The key here to remember is that this is a game of odds and we can only suggest methods. A famous lottery phrase is random is as random does, therefore 65% of people choose one random batch of numbers along side their weekly chosen numbers.

With so many lotteries you are first faced with a few options;

1. Play all lottery Games
2. Play the lottery on a specific day of the week
3. Play the lottery as above, however also play a few random choices in the month

Scratch cards are an interesting option; they are an instant fix for any gambler. Consult websites since they announce what remainder fund is left; there is very little point in playing if the large payouts have gone!

We have focused on strategies and methods for ball draws. There are a number of machines and number of balls used to ensure the highest level of randomness, ensuring the lottery company is taking your initial bet as opposed to paying out.

Random
This consists of each week picking random numbers. There are a number of methods for picking here are the top 5 favourites:
4. Fold up all numbers on individual pieces of paper, put in a bowl and pick
5. During the day you are normally exposed to numbers, take note of these and use them e.g. 94 bus becomes number 13 unless there are 94 numbers in the lottery, a telephone number 863577 becomes 36
6. Make your own lottery machine; you need a large cardboard box and some Ping-Pong balls which you will number in a black marker pen. Then use the end of your Hoover each week to draw the numbers from the box
7. On a sheet of card write the numbers bold in a 2x2cm square each, write in the same way as shown on the actual lottery card. Then attach a crystal to the end of some string and hover over the card. When the crystal slows over a number this is your choice
8. Kids are great for random numbers, using the same card technique ask a 8-13 year old to pick the required numbers within a 15 second time limit. Use an egg timer or stopwatch to test. Remember do not blame your children if you do not win the lottery.

TOP TIPS!
Always destroy your lottery ticket if you don't win, after all there is nothing worse than the week after noticing your random numbers were actually drawn


Fixed
These are numbers you choose from the onset and run with every week. Lottery numbers can be chosen randomly or by applying some theory. Basic theories include ages, birthdays and other lucky numbers. More refined methods have been designed through looking at popular numbers and choosing them.

How about one of these…for a 6 number lottery draw
i. 3, 9, 14, 28, 34, 36
ii. 7, 22, 28, 34, 44, 48
iii. 4, 15, 19, 21, 26, 44
iv. 18, 24, 27, 32, 42, 48
v. 2, 6, 9, 14, 17, 21

TOP TIP!
Remember to purchase your ticket every week, there have been hundreds and thousands of unhappy families who forget to get their lottery ticket the week their numbers were drawn.

Frequency
This is for the more mathematical genius of the household. Its approach is by recording the numbers each week

Therefore the following 7 draws

3, 9, 14, 28, 34, 36
7, 22, 28, 34, 44, 48
4, 15, 19, 21, 26, 44
18, 24, 27, 32, 42, 48
2, 6, 9, 14, 17, 21
12, 18, 22, 24, 26, 44
4, 16, 27, 28, 31, 48

We can highlight common numbers e.g. 4, 9, 14, 22, 44, 48 these would then be chosen as the weekly. Ideally you would use 16 weeks of data to apply this method.
