Millions of people every week decide to use identical lottery numbers for their entries; quite often these are memorable dates, which in some lotteries will only cover a part of any potential lotto choices.

Can you crack the code implementing your own unique strategy or trust on an elottery syndicate to decide them on your behalf? We unrealistically like to believe that if we do not do anything or sometimes do it the wrong way that something bad may happen, in that instance; if we miss doing our numbers that week they are sure to come up!

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

Just because a lottery number seems to come up more frequently; that does not mean to say it will come up again! It’s impossible to choose any set of lottery numbers that are more or less likely to win. Lotteries are a game of pure chance and each and every lotto number picked is purely at random. So the bottom line in that respect is – no one number is more random than the next.

If you take a look at the rules of probability, as one number is picked the likelihood of your chosen number being picked next is slightly increased because the potential selection is less.

Using the same numbers would mean you would have to play 135,000 times to even receive an evens chance of winning. Unluckily, to win the lotto jackpot you just have more or less a 1 in 14 million chance of being profitable; yet we all reckon it could be us. Does that sound like a good possibility; would you be better off joining a lotto syndicate?

If you choose the same lotto numbers each and every week, remember they are however random numbers and you stand just as much a chance of winning with those same lotto numbers as with a lucky dip selection. Yet, if you use birthday numbers in a lottery draw your prospects of winning the lotto jackpot still remain the same but then, likewise your particular chance of keeping the lotto jackpot to yourself is significantly reduced because so many other people employ birthday numbers in their choices.
