Not Playing the Lottery?

I recently read an article on a blog where the author answered the question "how do you win the lottery?" with the silly answer "don't play". Due to the huge odds that are stacked against an ordinary lottery player the blogger mentioned claims that to win the lottery you must simply not play and keep your money. This is one blogger who has no idea how to work with mathematics although, as you will see, he thinks he does!

Of course it is difficult to win the lottery. Now there are many, many reasons for thinking that winning the lottery is so far-fetched of a goal that it is silly to even play. I will show you some of those reasons here. What is not commonly known is that the terrible odds the lottery offers apply only to ordinary tickets.

The odds of winning any lottery jackpot regardless of its type are so stacked against you that you often have a better chance of being dead by the time of the draw than winning! The blogger I mentioned previously also pointed out that, with odds of 1 in 88,000, you have a better chance of dating a supermodel than winning the lottery and that, with odds of 1 in 20,000 you have a better chance of being killed by an asteroid than winning the big prize.

Let's put things into perspective here. The statistics offered by our well-meaning blogger may be technically correct they do not tell the whole story. The blogger in question was pointing out that the lottery is a game of chance yet continued to use statistics to back up his point.

He used a probability model to explain that certain improbable events are more likely to occur than winning the lottery. So although he claimed that the lottery was a game of chance he proved it was actually a game of probability!

This blog post does not tell you, because the author doesn't know, that the law of probability can easily be worked with to alter odds in any game of probability! For example do you believe you could bring down the odds of dating a supermodel from 1 in 88,000 if you got a job working with super models?

It makes sense right! When the guy works a normal job and socialises in normal places then he has a 1 in 88,000 chance of dating a supermodel but if the same guy works with supermodels or is in places where he meets supermodels every day then his chances of dating one of them will be greatly increased.

The lottery works the same way. Buying an ordinary ticket in a 6/49 lotto (like in the UK) gives you a 1 in 13,983,816 chance of winning the jackpot. Using some simple mathematical models, however, that are based on the law of probability it is easy to increase your odds of winning by a lot.

As you can see you can take advantage of some easy to apply methods for increasing your chances of winning on the lottery that involve mathematics and science or of course you could just follow the advice of our friendly blogger and not bother playing at all.

People who play, or comment on others who play, the lottery should get all sides of the story. Just believing that pure luck is the only way to win the lottery is nonsense. The blogger mentioned proved that the lottery is not a game of chance but is under the direct influence of the law of probability and mathematics because he used those things to try and prove his point!
