NATIONAL LOTTERY THE INFO AND CRITERIA TO HELP US WIN

The UK National Lottery is coming up to its 10th Birthday later this year and there have been to-date (time of writing update) 877 lottery draws. So we have looked at the odds on the previous page which are truly staggering,

how do we set about hitting that elusive jackpot.

Well in researching this subject I have looked at numerous books and quite a few more websites, which includes all those out there that charge for programs or systems to increase your fortunes. Many have 200/300 pages telling you nothing and charge £10 or more leaving you to work the odds out for yourself from their observations, and using their system of wheeling or whatever..
I have even thought about doing it myself, I know there are plenty of people out there already in arrears that will pay a few pounds for a system that will get them out of debt, I've been one of them. However I will do it for free, as like all these other publications I can only guide you in the right direction. If however you feel my observations and system is of benefit and helps you overcome or understand the lottery and assists you by winning a good prize then please e-mail or even send a small donation. I will be only too happy to hear from anyone who as benefited from my help.

Caution
It would be irresponsible of me to advocate any form of gambling, with this in mind, I shall be prudent, and say, remember as I have stated earlier, the odds of winning in a lottery (game of chance) are truly staggering. So just stick within your means, if you cannot afford it just do not do it. Don't spend pounds chasing the Jackpot your probability of achieving it are astounding. Obviously the prize money on offer for a relatively small wager is also enormous it's the evident factor that drives up ticket sales,and if your not in it you won't win it. I would suggest a small wager, within your means, or form a syndicate whereby you could spread the costs.

The first and most important thing we have to bear in mind is that no-one in the world or any computer can tell you with absolute certainty which six numbers are going to come up in the next lottery draw. I can't do it, nor can any other person or computer. Lotteries have the worst odds of any form of gambling with most having a chance of approximately 1 in 14 million. Undoubtedly the thing that drives up ticket sales is the shear magnitude of the jackpot prize money, for a relatively small wager. This is easily shown by the increased sales for a rollover jackpot. The Euro millions jackpot have odds in excess of 76 million but ticket sales will not be deterred because the odds are too great, quite the opposite we will still wager in the hope that one day we will win enough money to make us comfortably off.

Another thing that we have to remember is that the machines used nor the balls have a memory so although it is quite acceptable to use statistics, and with 14 million combinations, making it extremely unlikely there is no feasible reason why any combination cannot be repeated. This can be demonstrated by the tossing of a coin. When it comes to tossing a coin, our intuition leads us to the conclusion that seeing a run of 3 or 4 heads in a row, we believe, the more likely it becomes that the next will be a tail. Not so, the odds of getting a tail remains exactly the same 2 to 1. Again the coin has no memory and no matter how many previous throws have resulted in a head the odds remain as exactly one half. It is a pure lottery and statistics to date show it is exactly that. However, having said that, there is a lot that we can do. By analysing the past draws and by selecting the various options carefully, we can increase our chances of winning.

For instance, in the National Lottery, few, draws contained six even numbers or six odd numbers. In fact, five odd or five even numbers is also extremely rare. If you've been picking lottery entries at random are you sure you haven't picked six odd or even numbers on occasions? Have you ever thought to check? However some of the literature I have studied suggest you should stick to odds or even numbers when making your selections and increasing your chances of hitting the jackpot. In my view this is totally false, in the UK there has only been 9 even sets and 3 odd in 856 draws on most occasions these have produced multiple winners. You may as well throw your money down the toilet as follow these statistics, and put six odd or six even numbers on your card.

Lightning very rarely strikes in the same place twice, even as I have explained previously, the machines nor balls have a memory, the important thing to remember is there are 14 million combinations of 6 from 49, with lottery draws. I believe no draw has been repeated exactly - anywhere in the world, ever. In fact, only after two years of the National Lottery did two draws ever have four balls in common. At the time of writing I believe never five and never six. increase your chances of winning by avoiding lines with four or more numbers identical to a previous draw. Obviously if you are starting from scratch you will require some form of software that can do this for you. There is plenty available but I use and can recommend Lottery Cracker 5. This is one of the reasons I advocate that you do not buy lucky dips, Yes people do win with a lucky dip, my problem is this. When you are handed your ticket how much do you know about the numbers, on it, are they all odd or all even, are they all below 25, or above 25, have they already won a major prize, if they have the odds are very much against you winning anything. My view avoid lucky dips and check your numbers against all the previous draws.

Theory says that 33% of all lottery draws should have exactly three odd numbers and three even numbers. About 23% should have a 2:4 and 25% a 4:2 Odd: Even number ratio. Only 1 to 2 % of draws to date have five or six even numbers and only 1 to 2% have five or six odd numbers. try to increases your chances of winning by avoiding 'bad' selections with five or six odd or even numbers.

Rarely are all six lottery draw numbers above 25, or all under 25. In fact to date there has only been 16 draws above 24 less than 0.2% or 16 draws below 27 again less than 0.2%. Most often there are two, three or four numbers below 25 and the rest above 25. In fact, theory says that the odds are only 10% of draws will have five or six high numbers, and 9% will have five or six low numbers. A massive 81% of lottery draws should have a Low: High ratio of 2:4, 3:3 or 4:2. Increase your chances of winning by avoiding selections with five or six numbers below or above 25. However having said this, if you are not too interested in getting a return every week and just want to chase the Jackpot I advise picking a few more numbers above 30. i.e. one or two below 30, three in the 30 range and one or two above 40. I suggest this because most people stick to birthdays, anniversaries etc which fall below 30. Statistics to date show that when 3 numbers fall between 30 and 39 the chance of there being no jackpot winners i.e. a rollover increases, and the payout for smaller prizes also increases, typically over £100+ for 4 numbers £3000+ for 5 numbers. However although the return on the week is greater these combinations are infrequent but one statistic for you to bear in mind when making your selections.

The average range of numbers (which we define as range = biggest number - smallest number) is to date 38.and 85% of draws fall into this category . In fact, theory says that only 10% of lottery draws should have a range less than 21, and only 7% should be greater than 45. Set yourself a range for your lottery entries, which may increase your chances of winning by avoiding 'bad' selections.

In a high percentage of draws there are adjacent numbers (such as 31/32 and 7/8). If you don't have two adjacent numbers then in many draws you'll have no chance of winning the jackpot. Pick some entries with a pair of adjacent numbers. To date over 660 pairs have been drawn over 859 draws that's a massive more than 78%. Ensure some of you entries include adjacent numbers, and while we think about this, is it not another good reason why we should forget the choose all odd or even enthusiasts.

I could go on, but you should have the idea by now. On the next few pages I will provide some of the information to help you get on with you own predictions.

SO HOW DO WE USE INFORMATION SUCH AS THIS.
