Millions of people each and every week prefer to use identical lotto numbers for their entries; invariably these are birthdays, which in some countries can only cover part of any possible lottery selections.
Can you crack the code implementing your own particular strategy or rely on an e-lottery syndicate to decide them on your behalf? We unrealistically believe that if we do not do something or sometimes do it the wrong way that something bad may happen, in that event; if we miss doing our numbers that week they are certain to come up!
Being the person to decide on those winning lottery numbers is by nature something each and every committed lotto player wishes they could do and as humans, we all have an acquired bias against anything random, we all like some form of control and patterns that make sense to us all.
So your lottery number comes up more frequently; that does not mean to say it will come up again! It’s impossible to pluck any set of lottery numbers that are more or less likely to win. Lotteries are a game of chance and each and every lotto number picked is merely at random. So the bottom line is - no number is more random than another.
If you look at the rules of probability, as one number is picked the likelihood of your selected number going to be picked next is slightly increased because the possible selection is less.
Applying the same numbers will mean you would have to play 135,000 times to even receive an evens chance of winning. Unluckily, to win the lottery jackpot you only have close to a 1 in 14 million chance of being prosperous; nonetheless we all reckon it could be us. Does that sound like a good prospect; would you be better off joining up to a lottery syndicate?
If you choose the same lottery numbers each week, remember they are however hit-and-miss lottery numbers and you stand just as much a probability of winning with those same lotto numbers as with a lucky-dip selection. However, if you use birthday numbers in a lotto draw your prospects of winning the lotto jackpot still remain the same but then, also your particular prospect of keeping the lotto jackpot to yourself is dramatically reduced because so many other people employ birthday numbers in their choices.
