Lottery Wining Strategies

Been looking for some strategies on how to get the pattern of the lotto game for some time. A friend of mine emailed me some clips, and I want to share it with you.

The key to my successful number selection methods is playing the probabilities. If you play a pattern that occurs only five percent of the time, you can expect that pattern to lose 95 percent of the time, giving you no chance to win 95 percent of the time. So, don't buck the probabilities.

ODD-EVEN -When you select your Lotto numbers, try to have a relatively even mix of odd and even numbers. All odd or all even numbers are rarely drawn, occurring less than 3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three odd and two even, or two odd and three even. One of these two patterns will occur in 68 percent of the drawings.

HIGH-LOW -Winning numbers are usually spread across the entire number field. If we take a number field and cut it in half, we have the low half and the high half. In a 56-number game, numbers 1 to 28 would be in the low half, and numbers 29 to 56 would be in the high half. All high or all low numbers are rarely drawn, occurring only 3 percent of the time. The best mix is to have 3/2 or 2/3 which means three high and two low, or two high and three low. One of these two patterns will occur in 64 percent of the drawings.

NUMBER GROUP -Look at a list of past winning numbers for the Lotto game you play, and you'll see, more often than not, that one or more of the number groups is not represented. For example, in the combination 5-14-32-43-56, there are no 20's. Tracking and studying Number Groups can help you decide which group to omit and which group to give extra heavy play.

GAMES SKIPPED -List the number of games skipped (games out) since the last hit (win) for each of the winning numbers during the last five games. Then mark the number of times each skip occurred. If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the Lotto numbers that are out that many games.

SUM - PLAY A BALANCED GAME After you choose five numbers you want to play, add them together and make sure that the sum of the five numbers adds up to somewhere between 106 and 179. Sums that fall within that range will account for over 70 percent of all jackpots won.

REPEAT HITS -In the 6/49 MEGA Millions, on average, one number will repeat from the last drawing every other drawing or 42 percent of the time.

HOT NUMBER -Numbers that have been out (losers) for six games or less account for about half of the winning numbers. Losing numbers that have been out for 10 games or less account for about two-thirds of all the winning numbers. Losing numbers that have been out for 13 games or less account for about three-quarters of all the winning numbers. This tells us that hot numbers are more likely to hit, but don't forget to include at least one long shot in your group of 5.

COLD NUMBER -It is difficult to know when a number will end a long losing streak. If you play a number every drawing because you think it is due, you could be chasing it for many months. (Number 45 in New York Lotto sat out 100 drawings before it finally hit.) Although, when a number has been out for 70 games or so, it might be worth chasing.

Hope this help. If ever you won, just don't forget to give credit where did you get the tip. :)

just get lucky!
