Lottery players all over the world have the same question in their minds: how to pick the winning lottery numbers? Everybody is looking of some sort of a system that will give him an edge over the seemingly astronomical odds of winning. Some people try to put a semblance of a system on how they play the lottery by closely observing the game and taking note of the winning numbers for an extended period of time, hoping to crack the code of the surefire formula for winning. This kind of study will show that there are certain numbers that tend to come out in the winning circle more often than the rest. There are also certain number sequences that appear more often and some number sequences that almost do not appear at all, hence playing those numbers that almost do not appear at all will put the odds against you.
If there is one thing that studying lottery trends will give you, it is that winning the lottery comes down to chance. But while winning the lottery is a matter of chance, there is still the question of how to choose one's numbers. A lot of people choose their own numbers based on different factors such as the birthdays of the important people in their lives, anniversaries, or any other way of making a number combination. A lot more people do not want to break their head in choosing what could be the winning combination and they just settle on quick picks.
The quick pick option in a lottery lets the lottery machine select numbers randomly for a player. The lottery machine uses a random number generator that is similar to the number generator used by slot machines or video poker machines. When a player chooses the quick pick option when buying a lottery ticket, the machine prints out a ticket with the numbers generated by the machine. The player need not stress over which numbers to choose. And this part, not stressing over which numbers to choose, seems to be the only and most important advantage of getting the quick pick option in playing the lottery. It is so because like in love and in war, all is fair in playing the lottery. The playing field is made even by one big factor - chance.
A lottery player may use all the mathematical complexities of physics or take into consideration the alignment of the stars and the planets, give numerical interpretations or meaning to dreams, or apply years of research on the likelihood of certain numbers to appear in a certain time of the year, or use the quick pick generator in the lottery machine, but the odds of winning will still be the same. Picking the right number combination is always a matter of hope - a hope that the combination will come out right this time. And this flicker of hope keeps the lottery players going and going until they hit the very elusive jackpot.
Lottery is a game of chance and there is always that elusive chance.

Entry for Foreign Players: Platinum Placements International
Avid lotto fans know that in order to play a national lottery, you need to have someone who lives in the area to place the actual bets for you. This is why in the past, it was customary for lottery players to ask friends or relatives living abroad to buy tickets for them and collect their winnings as well. This of course resulted to plenty of conflicts. Even between friends and family, the prospect of handling millions of dollars can be cause for temptation.
Lottery entry providers began to flourish through direct mail marketing. Companies who are licensed lotery agents from different countries would send direct mail offers to lottery enthusiasts. They could play their favorite lotteries by signing up for a subscription – often for weeks or months in advance. The companies were reliable, and more importantly trustworthy – they remitted the player's winnings promptly and in full. The only major setback was snailmail. Since everything was sent by post, it took a while for the notices to arrive. This meant that the players could not enter the games as often as they wanted.
When the internet age came about, things drastically took a turn for the better. Instead of just direct mail, lottery entry providers created websites where players could enter their favorite lottery games in real time. Subscriptions were still accepted, but the player now has the option to play in just one big Jackpot draw if he pleases.
The big advantage is still being able to play in the comfort and privacy of his or her own home – no one has to know that you used your credit card to place a bet in that massive Euro Millions Draw.
One lottery entry provider I would personally recommend is Platinum Placements International or PPI. The company is an Amsterdam based one with agents all over the globe. PPI allows its players to join the major European, American and Asian lotteries as well as several special draws. In my case though, my subscription with them is for the December 22, 2011 El Gordo Draw.
PPI can provide players with the ff services:

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.
