Any Ape

Millions of individuals each week prefer to use the same numbers for their entries; invariably these are memorable dates of loved ones, which in a lot of countries will only cover part of any possible lottery selections.

Can you decrypt the code utilizing your own special strategy or trust on a lotto syndicate to decide them on your behalf? We unrealistically like to believe that if we do not do anything or do it the wrong way that something bad might happen, in that event; if we miss doing our numbers that week they are sure to come up!

Being the person to choose the winning lottery numbers is by nature something each and every committed player wishes they could do and as human beings, we all have a natural bias against anything that’s random, we all like some form of control and rules that make sense to us all.

Just because a number seems to come up more often; why should it come up again? It’s impossible to pluck any set of lotto numbers that are likely to win. All lotteries are a game of pure chance and each and every lottery number drawn is simply at random. So the bottom line in that respect is - no number is more random than another.

If you look at the rules of probability, as one lottery number is picked the likelihood of your chosen number going to be drawn next is slightly increased simply because the potential choice is reduced.

Utilizing the same lottery numbers will mean you will have to play 135,000 times to even have an evens chance of winning. Unfortunately, to win the lottery jackpot you only have just about a 1 in 14 million prospect of being prosperous; yet we all think it could be us. Does that sound like a good possibility; would you be luckier joining up to a lottery syndicate?

If you choose the same lotto numbers every week, just remember they are still hit-and-miss numbers and you stand just as much a probability of winning with those same lottery numbers as with a lucky-dip selection. However, if you use birthday numbers in a lottery draw your individual prospects of winning the lottery jackpot still stay the same but then, also your prospect of keeping the lottery jackpot to yourself is significantly reduced because so many other people use birthday numbers in their selections.
