A staggering amount of players each week choose to use the same numbers; invariably these are memorable dates of loved ones, which in some countries can only cover a part of any potential lottery selections.

Can you decipher the code applying your own extraordinary strategy or rely on a lottery syndicate to choose them for you? We unrealistically like to believe that if we don’t do something or maybe do it the wrong way that something bad may happen, in this instance; if we miss doing our numbers they are sure to come up!

Being the person to pick those winning lotto numbers is of course something each and every dedicated player wishes they could do and as humans, we all have a natural bias against anything random, we all like some form of control and conventions that make sense to us.

So your number comes up more often; that does not mean to say it will come up again! It’s practically impossible to pick any set of lottery numbers that are likely to win. All lotteries are a game of chance and every lottery number drawn is purely at is hit-or-miss. So the upshot in that respect is – no one number is more random than the next.

If you take a look at the chances of probability, as one lotto number is drawn the likelihood of your chosen number going to be drawn next is slightly increased because the possible selection is reduced.

Applying the same lottery numbers would mean you would have to play 135,000 times to even get an evens chance of winning. Unfortunately, to win the lotto jackpot you only have more or less a 1 in 14 million prospect of being successful; however we all believe it could be us. Does that sound like a good prospect; would you be luckier signing up to a lottery syndicate?

If you decide on the same lotto numbers each week, remember they are however hit-and-miss lottery numbers and you stand just as much a chance of winning with those same numbers as with a lucky dip selection. All The Same, if you use birthday numbers in a lotto draw your individual chances of winning the lotto jackpot still remain the same but also your individual prospect of keeping the lottery jackpot to yourself is dramatically reduced because so many other people use birthday numbers in their selections.
