Four Hot Tips to Winning The Lottery

As a beginner looking for tips to win the lottery, you would think that all numbers have equal chances of being picked since they are chosen randomly. However, you will soon find out that for some unexplainable reason, several numbers are never picked at all within in a given period. Therefore, you need to pick your numbers carefully, taking into consideration the previous winning numbers.

Selecting your numbers is part of the fun in playing lotto.  So how do you pick them?  There are many strategies that players have found effective for them.

Hot and Cold

If you are good at analyzing number trends and statistics, you can look at the past winning numbers and determine which of them have a higher probability of being picked on the next lotto draw. Try to recognize the drawing patterns and frequencies, and the trends both short-term and long-term. Some people call this strategy the “hot” and “cold” system.  Hot numbers are the frequently picked ones while cold numbers are those that are picked less frequently. The hot and cold number strategy is supposed to help you pick the numbers that are more likely to come out in the next draw.

Numerology

There are many strategies in winning lotteries and one of the most well-known is numerology. Those who use this strategy believe that numerology can predict the winning numbers through lucky, meaningful combinations of numbers that are connected with certain events in one’s life such as birthdays, names and even social security numbers.

Numerology is all about determining your lucky number and using that number to win the lottery. It is about forecasting the winning numbers based on the idea certain numbers are related to a person’s fate. Numerologists believe that there are no accidents when it comes to names and date of births. Each person is born on a particular date and is given a name that numerologists believe have certain numerical significance and holds the key not only to their future but also, more importantly, to the lucky number combinations in their chosen lotteries.

Numerology tries to put into distinct number system what numerologists believe as the existing connection between names, the time of birth, and a person’s destination in life. They believe that this system can be applied to anything that has to do with numbers, especially in a lottery play where you need to pick the correct winning numbers. The number that results after combining the numerical equivalent of the letters of your name and your birth month will be your personal lucky number.

Wheeling Systems

The wheeling system allows you to increase your chances of hitting it big in multiple-tier lotteries.  Through a systematic arrangement of a group of numbers into multiple combinations, you get either a full wheel coverage or partial wheel coverage of all possible combinations that can be formed out of the group of numbers you select.  You are guaranteed to win one or more of the tickets you have bought if some or all of the winning lottery numbers are included in your selected number groups.

There are three ways in which you can harness the power of mathematics in the wheeling system – full wheel, abbreviated or partial wheel, and key number wheel.

A full wheel system employs all the possible number combinations that you can form out of the selected number group. Using this system will give you the maximum opportunities to win not only the jackpot but also the various lower prizes. But while it gives you the maximum chances of winning, it is not cheap.

A partial or abbreviated wheel involves using the minimum number of combinations that can be formed from a given set of numbers. Its advantage over the full wheel is that of being more economical while improving your chances. You play with fewer number combinations but you get to use more numbers, thus giving your more chances of winning.

Group Play

There is a way to reduce the odds against your favor and increase your chances of winning. You can join lottery group play or what is known as a lottery syndicate.  By joining together with other lotto players, you have more opportunities to win and still keep your lotto ticket expenses within your limit.

You must understand at the outset that joining a syndicate has inherent drawbacks. But don’t get disheartened yet because you will see more benefits.

The good news is that the benefits you get far outweigh all of what others may consider as drawbacks. The most important benefit of all is the increased chances of winning because in effect, you get to share the winnings in case the numbers chosen by the syndicate are drawn. The downside to this is that the winnings are shared among all the syndicate members, which means that your share becomes small. This means too, that the more members there are in the syndicate, the smaller your share will be.
