Myths About Lottery Systems

Why is it the case that many lotteries around the world state that syndicated game players win more often?

Win it comes to syndicates winning more often that single lottery players it seems logical to assume it is because they buy more tickets. Although having more tickets in a draw may seem like a good way of increasing your chances of winning that draw when it comes to the lottery the odds are so infinitesimal that having more tickets does not make any difference.

There is also the belief that avoiding numbers that have already occurred in the draw can increase your chances of winning because those same numbers will not be drawn again.

For a start it makes no difference how many times a ball has been drawn or how little it has been drawn. It has the same chance of being drawn in every single game regardless of its past appearances or lack of them. 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.

Every time there is a lottery draw that draw is essentially a one-off event. 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.

Lottery machine and lottery balls are inanimate objects. They have no memory. They do not remember previous draws. Every draw in a lottery is a separate draw. It is not connected to any other draw.

When you have a random ticket for a 6 from 49 lottery draw your chances of winning  the lottery are 1 in approximately 14 million. That gives you approximately a 1 in 14 million chance of winning the lottery. How bad is that? Buying more tickets does not increase this number because each ticket is individual and unconnected to the other (when tickets are bought without using a mathematically based lottery system) and you therefore still have approximately a 1 in 14,000,000 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.

Studying patterns of past draws is unlikely to increase your odds in the lottery. What you must do is start using mathematical systems that work with the law of probability which is what the lottery is based on.

By using properly constructed maths systems you can work with the law of probability to help you win lottery prizes ; smaller prizes won consistently can sometimes equal or outnumber a jackpot prize! To win the jackpot prize you will need to add a splice of luck to the equation but if you do get that lucky with a good lottery system believe me when I say you will not be the first and certainly not be the last! The more you use a good lotto system the luckier you tend to get.
