Science
shows how to win the lottery
by Liam Jefferson
How would you like to win
the Lottery? Like, Doh! But strangely enough,
according to a highly respected boffin, there
may actually be a mathematically viable way to
win the Lotto without breaking any of the rules
of physics that normally render it a once-in-2-thousand-lifetime
possibility (playing once a week, you'd be due
a win sometime in the next quarter of a million
years!!).
Predicting the future is,
of course, impossible. For that simple reason,
crystal balls, tarot cards, tea leaves, i-ching
or 'out-of-body' experiences won't put you in
the winner's enclosure. Nevertheless, hitting
the 14 million to 1 jackpot in the Lottery may
really be possible - if you have a large amount
of cash and are willing to do some research.
Nutty Professor and Maths
Wiz Bill Hartston has come up with a provable
model showing that if you buy 100,000 tickets
on each and every rollover you stand a good chance
of making a "fair profit". Like many
others, Hartston doesn't like the idea of splitting
any winnings with others, and says "The only
way you can beat the odds is to bet against what
other people are betting their money on. That
way you will not have to share your money around."
The basics of the strategy
involve using a 'wheeling system' to cover a million
or so combinations and bet on all of them whenever
it's a rollover draw (a draw when no lottery winner
was identified in the previous draw). According
to the pencil-chewing Prof, you can then expect
one major unshared jackpot about every 14 times
goes. As rollovers happen roughly once every 12
draws, that means a big win roughly every 2 years.
Doc Hartston may not actually
be a fan of the Lotto, seeing as he has said this
"It's pernicious because it's so beautifully
designed to be addictive. People are hooked because
of the way they feel they came really close by
getting two numbers one week. But if the first
two are the same, you are more likely to have
no numbers right in the four consecutive weeks
than you are winning 10. You'd do better if you
place your money on the horses".
