Myths About Lottery Systems

In many lotteries we can see that syndicates of lottery players, usually playing through groups formed at work, win the top lottery prizes more often than individual players?

Many people believe syndicates win lottery prizes more often simply because they buy more tickets. We will investigate how much truth there is in this belief and whether buying more lottery tickets can increase your chances of winning a prize.

You may also think that avoiding the use of winning numbers from the previous weeks draw (or choosing "hot" numbers) will increase your chances of winning.

Numbers that are drawn or not drawn have just as much chance of being drawn in any game regardless of how many times they have been drawn before. The truth is every time the lottery draw takes place there is the same chance of a set of numbers coming up every week regardless of if they have been drawn before.

This is because each draw is separate and unique. Even though its seems sensible and right to think that if a number or group of numbers have been drawn before that they are less likely to be drawn again, at least in the foreseeable future, this is not the truth of the matter.

There is no way that any lottery draw or set of lottery balls can remember previous lottery draws - let me explain. They do not remember previous draws. Each draw is a stand-alone event unconnected to the previous draw or the next draw.

With an ordinary lottery ticket, no matter how you chose the numbers, gives you terrible odds. A 6/49 draw gives you a mere 1 in 13,983,816. These odds are just not very good at all and playing with such odds leaves you little chance of winning. Even if you have one hundred tickets picked randomly (like an average ticket) then you only have one hundred 1 in 14 million chances of winning. Which means you still have a 1 in 14 million chance of winning!

It is time to play the lottery in a smarter way. Now that you know that every ball has the exact same chance of being drawn you need a better strategy to win.

Now instead of using lame lottery systems that are designed around commonly drawn numbers or analysing past draws you must look for lottery systems that deal with real mathematics.

Any amount of data from past lottery draws will not help you increase your chances of winning a lottery prize. What you must do is start using mathematical systems that work with the law of probability which is what the lottery is based on.

There are scientifically proven mathematical formulas that can be used to increase your odds of winning on the lotto - even if those prizes are not jackpots they can mount up and bring in lots of money. However, mathematics, common sense and a good degree of luck could land you that big lottery prize you have been dreaming about.
