How
To Win The Lottery
by Ellison Mansfield
There are many types of lottery
games, and likewise there are many ways to win
the lottery. Dozens of strategies have been widely
discussed regarding pick-3 and pick-4 lottery
games, but rarely will you see honest strategy
written about pick-6 games. Believe it or not
I have a collection of strategies to beat ANY
lottery, but for now we'll take a look at a few
things to keep in mind while playing pick-6.
The fact of the matter is
that many Lotto players select their numbers thoughtlessly
or foolishly. They are destined to lose even before
the drawing takes place. Just by knowing the number
combinations and patterns to avoid, you will have
an advantage over such players.
There are players who like
to bet the numbers that won someone else a big
jackpot, and by doing so, they are almost guaranteed
not to win one themselves. This is why According
to mathematical probability the six winning numbers
of a 6/40 Pick 6 Lotto drawing would repeat once
every 36,907 years!!! This figure should also
answer the question I am so often asked, "Shouldn't
I keep playing the same set of numbers every week
because they are due to hit sometime?" My
answer is, "Only if you think you'll live
for 36,907 years!"
In the Pick 6 Lotto drawings
of just one state, each week more than 10,000
tickets are bought with the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6.
Even if these unlikely numbers did happen to win,
what do you think a million dollar jackpot would
be worth when divided among 10,000 winners?
Pattern betting is an even
more popular method of number selection for players
who lack imagination or skill. They select their
numbers by making designs on their tickets, marking
all the numbers in a row to make a straight line,
either across or up and down. These combinations
have been played on more than 150,000 tickets
for just one drawing!! Another popular method
that gets heavy play is the number multiples,
especially 5-10-15-20-25-30. Those numbers are
played on at least 25,000 tickets in each drawing.
If those numbers hit with a $4 million jackpot,
each winner would receive a single payment of
only $160.
The majority of Pick 6 Lotto
players like to play the calendar numbers, such
as birth-dates and anniversaries. This means that
the most heavily played numbers are 1 through
31. Most Pick 6 Lotto games have 40 or more numbers.
If you play only the calendar numbers, you might
be sharing your first prize jackpot with numerous
other winners. I'm not saying that you shouldn't
play your personal numbers if you feel they are
lucky for you. But I would recommend that you
throw in a couple of high numbers so that just
in case they hit, you will win a prize that is
worth something.
Most players have a tendency
to bet the low numbers. This is obvious when you
see consistently low prize payouts when four or
more numbers are on the lower end of the range.
When I see any set of winning numbers drawn, I
can almost guess what the payouts will be for
each prize category.
Lottery officials on television
encourage players to bet their birthdates and
anniversaries (the calendar numbers) because they
don't want to see anyone win
the lottery jackpot. They want to see the
jackpot roll over and build with thousands of
losing tickets so that they can advertise another
record-breaking gigantic jackpot.
The prize payouts are always
higher when the higher numbers hit because less
winners are sharing the prize pool. Notice that
the unwon jackpots usually occur when the winning
numbers drawn were higher than normal. Now you
have a few tips on what not to do; next time we'll
look at some constructive methods you can use
to start beating those odds and begin collecting
Pick 6 Lotto prizes.
