The lottery dates back a long, long way. The word lottery itself dates back to the Netherlands. The word lottery has its roots in the Dutch word "loterij" which means "fate".
Most people in the UK believe their lottery is fairly recent. However, the earliest English lottery dates back to 1567.Then in 1612 King James I used lottery money to help build the first British colony in America at Jamestown in Virginia. In fact there is evidence to suggest lotteries may have existed in Britain as far back as the Roman occupation.
These days European countries have separate lotteries but also have one massive lottery but this is not the first instance of a European lotto draw. Jan Van Eyck had a lottery in 1446 to raise money and offering his paintings as prizes.
Belgium is a European country that was holding lotteries as far back as 1465 to pay for essential city works.
In 1530 Florence, Italy, offered cash prizes in a lottery and in 1539 the King of France, Francis I, held a lottery to try to ease the countries growing debt.
Th Netherlands have a national lottery that dates back to 1726 and has remained largely unchanged throughout the centuries.
China has been having lotteries for millennia and there is a large body of evidence that shows lotteries being held in 200 BC. This game was so popular that it is still played today as the modern Keno and proceeds from the original game were used to build The Great Wall of China.
However, the lottery is much older than that!
The lottery dates back to the Bible. In ancient biblical text we see evidence for lotteries taking place. The Book of Numbers clearly indicates that Moses was awarded land from a lottery win.

Winning The Lotto With Statistics
Statistics show us many things that can be both useful and unusable for many reasons.There are many good examples of interesting facts and stats that are not very relevant to our everyday lives. Did you know, for example, that in 1985 the official NASA statistical probability for an accident to occur to a space shuttle was 100,000 to 1. After the Challenger disaster it is now 100 to 1!
The odds of winning the lottery are roughly 14 million to 1. So what do you think the odds of winning it twice are? Well a Navy war veteran who survived a jet crash and escaped a P.O.W. camp in Korea got really lucky when he won it twice! What do you think the odds of that happening are?
The New York Times told of a man in New York City, who was earning a regular wage as a superintendent, poured most of his money into the lottery.Ray Otero foolishly believes that buy ploughing his money into lottery tickets he is increasing his chances of winning a jackpot prize with each purchase (by sheer number of tickets).
Of course what Mr. Otero fails to realise is that statistically you have no better chance of winning the jackpot with 500 tickets than you do with 1 when the numbers on the tickets are chosen randomly!
It surprises many people to find out that lottery prizes are extremely hard to get. In fact if you buy a UK lottery ticket, which is a match 6 from 49 draw, at the beginning of the week there is a better chance of you dying before the draw than there is of you winning it!
Statistically you have a 14 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery when you buy a lottery ticket.No matter how many tickets you buy each one will have the same low odds. So just because you have 100 tickets it doesn't mean you have a better chance of winning!
Take heart though because you can do certain things that dramatically increase the odds of you winning a huge lottery prize and they don't require you to spend a fortune doing it! Lottery wheeling, for example, is a great way to increase your chances of winning a top prize on the lottery.
When you wheel and extra number in your pick of 6, so that you pick 7 numbers instead and then "wheel" so that all numbers end up on a ticket together two things happen. You have to buy more tickets therefore your lottery stake money goes up. But, an interesting thing happens - your odds of winning go up in leaps and bounds.
When you wheel 7 numbers instead of 6 you go from a 14 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery to half a million to 1 - just by adding an extra number and the price of the tickets only adds up to £28!
So, if Mr. Otero had only played a 6 from 49, or similar type of lottery, and wheeled his numbers he may well be a very wealthy man by now.

Lowering Economic Standards Equals Higher Lottery Sales
As everyone tightens their belts and prepares themselves for a rough financial ride the lottery seems to be enjoying renewed vigour. As the media openly fear monger about more public spending cuts, job losses and higher living costs it is no wonder people are seeking a way out of this fear-based economy.
Since the fall of the economy ordinary people like you and me and desperate for a way out of this economic nightmare. Many are turning in hopes to the lotto. With banks having damaged the world economy so badly people feel that their own means of escape is through a lottery win and therefore lottos everywhere benefit from a large rise in sales.
However, with an approximate 14 million to 1 chance of winning a jackpot prize in a standard 6 from 49 lotto just buying extra lottery tickets isn't going to do you much good and is only going to drain your finances even further.
Obviously the smart players will do what they can to increase their chances of winning a lottery prize when they play.
The simplest way to improve your odds in the lottery is to get into a syndication of players. Syndicates win the lottery more often. The reason syndicates win more often is not just because they have more tickets. It is because the smart ones use good lottery systems as well. Wheeling for instance is a favourite lotto system employed by many successful syndicates and past lottery winners.
The multiple winnings that are guaranteed when you have winning numbers and use a wheeling system means that you only need a small number of winning balls to grab some nice prizes. Picking just 3 numbers (in a 6 from 49 draw) means multiple match three wins not just one! The same is true for other wins such as match 4 and match 5 etc.
In fact using this approach to playing the lottery means that if you do pick the jackpot numbers you will win many, many more prizes than just one jackpot prize!
A solo player can also use specific mathematical lottery systems to improve his or her odds but by far the best way is with a syndicate. Winning on your own however means you get to keep all the cash. However, the drawback to playing alone is that it will cost you considerably more money than it would if you played as part of a syndicate.
The first place to start in your journey to lottery success is to learn more about lotto systems and then find an effective one.

The Computer Software That Can Win the Lottery
Is it really possible to turn on your computer start up some software application and get the winning lottery numbers returned to you before the draw has even taken place? "Anyone with half a brain will say 'no'" is probably very similar to your response. After all how could anything, no matter how technically advanced, predict the outcome in a game of chance? The truth, however, is that what seems logical I snot always correct.
From the very beginning when lotteries were first introduced there have been people scheming to beat the odds. When the lottery spread across the globe and became popular all over the world lottery systems began to spring up as people became obsessed with the lure of easy, fast money and instant riches.
Men and women all over the world have tried to find ways to beat the lottery using lucky numbers, significant dates and some have even used lucky charms, incantations and prayers in an attempt to sway the lottery odds in their favour. It is no wonder the myth that beating the lottery is impossible still exists when these were the common place attempts at creating effective lottery systems.
Likewise some of the greatest mathematical minds on the planet have spent countless hours analysing over data looking for patterns and trying to devise equations that could be used to win the lottery.
Using a more scientific approach seems to have paid off for many people. It is true to say that there is a very large amount of lotto winners who claim they won by using a specific lottery system.
Before we go on I am not talking about the type of system you usually hear about. How many times have you heard people saying they won because they chose numbers that were meaningful to them in some way? These are not systems and the wins were due to luck and luck only. For this reason many people think all lottery systems are the same. Why would a mathematical system be any different from all the rest?
Well, to answer that question you must realise that the lottery is not just a game of pure luck. The lottery is a game of probabilities. Being a game of probabilities it is subject to the law of probability. The law of probability is a scientific fact and a constant throughout the universe just like the law of gravity.
Using a clever system designed to work with the law of probability you can increase the probability of picking winning numbers!
Unfortunately the traditional ways of implementing such systems were complicated. Therefore using lottery systems could often be difficult and cumbersome with the changes of making a mistake in your calculations quite high (unless you are a maths professor).
For these reasons many very good lottery software have remained untapped. These days we can easily take advantage of such powerful systems because of the invention of the modern day PC. Within minutes you can use lottery software that utilises the best lottery systems to crunch your numbers and tell you what ones top put on your lotto tickets.
The best lottery software is obviously built to execute the best lottery systems. Such software will always have a money back guarantee.

How to Win the Lottery in Three Simple Steps
There are a large amount of people who dream of winning the lottery. Immediate financial freedom is a dream that everyone wants. Why not want a lottery win when the economy is in such a bad state caused by greedy bankers who already live like lottery winners!

How The Lottery Has Evolved
The lottery is very old indeed. However before we go into the history of the lottery I should explain where the name originates. The word originates from the Dutch - loterij - which is translated to mean "destiny".
Most people in the UK believe their lottery is fairly recent. However, the earliest English lottery dates back to 1567.Then in 1612 King James I used lottery money to help build the first British colony in America at Jamestown in Virginia. Even back in the days when Britain was a Roman colony they were having lotteries.
These days European countries have separate lotteries but also have one massive lottery but this is not the first instance of a European lotto draw. Jan Van Eyck had a lottery in 1446 to raise money and offering his paintings as prizes.
In 1465 Belgium had many lotteries that were used to raise funds for city building projects.
The city of Florence held the first Italian lottery in 1530. This was popular and spread to France in 1839 When King Francis used lottery proceeds to ease his mounting debt.
The modern day Dutch lottery is the same game that has been played in the country since its inception in 1726.
China has been having lotteries for millennia and there is a large body of evidence that shows lotteries being held in 200 BC. The proceeds of some of these lotteries were used by the Chinese to pay for the building of The Great Wall.
However, the lottery is much older than that!
There is evidence in the Old Testament for the existence of ancient lotteries. The Book of Numbers clearly indicates that Moses was awarded land from a lottery win.
