Different Ways To Pick Your Lottery Numbers

DIFFERENT WAYS TO PICK YOUR LOTTERY NUMBERS Created by Jorge Barnes

STUDY THE STATISTICS Although there’s no mathematical reason why some numbers get drawn more than others, there are a few that appear to be hotter than others. Just remember that every number has the same chance of being drawn, regardless of whether it has appeared 10 or zero times over the past few draws.

USE NUMEROLOGY Next up, we come onto numerology. Whether you choose to use this method really does depend on whether you’re a believer in the power of the universe. Anyone can calculate their own “numbers” which hold a significance that’s personal to them.

USE LUCKY NUMBERS You might like 10, for example, as it’s your birthday, or you could have an attachment to number 28 for no reason whatsoever. Lucky numbers come in all forms, from anniversaries to player jerseys. All you need to do is pick the ones you like or hold a sentimental value for, and that’s pretty much it.

GO RANDOM There are various other ways to randomly pick numbers as well – the only limit to the ways is your own imagination. You could even just drop a pen on some numbers and use the one it hits. We could go on about random number picking methods for hours, but we’ll let you get creative instead. As long as you end up with the correct number of picks, you’re doing it right.

PICK NUMBERS OVER 31 Although this method won’t increase your chances of winning, it could increase the amount you win if you’re lucky enough to scoop the jackpot. Think of it like this: you pick your numbers for a $10m jackpot, and 10 people win. Everyone would get $1m each. If only 2 people win though, you’d instead find yourself raking in $5m.

MAKE A PATTERN When you’re looking down at your lottery slip, you’ll notice that every selection contributes towards a pattern. This method involves picking numbers by drawing on the slip. You could go in a circle, for example, or you could try to draw out a letter of the alphabet.

USE A SYSTEM Another way some people choose their lottery numbers is by using a system. There are plenty of these online, all of which are supposed to improve your odds of winning the jackpot.

LEAVE IT TO THE MACHINE Most lotteries allow players to simply receive random numbers, picked for them by a machine. Just select the option, and you’ll receive your ticket, complete with the correct number of selections. You’ll hear some people saying that letting the machine pick your numbers ruins your chances of winning.
