There is hardly a person who will refuse to win the lottery. Many, especially in times of financial difficulties, just dream of winning the coveted million or two. Unfortunately, the odds of winning a lot are just above zero, so inventive people come up with different ways that they think will make them more likely to win the lottery.
There are only two 100% ways to win the lottery. The first is to buy up all lottery tickets and then get all the winnings. Only the cost of such an event will be 2 times higher than the income from the winnings. The second is to play the win-win lottery. It is also not without a secret: the average cost of a prize in such a lottery is much lower than the cost of a lottery ticket. However, there are ways to slightly increase the chances of winning.
Mathematical Methods
One such way is to keep track of the numbers that were drawn. It is believed that the number dropped out once will not fall out in the future for a long time. And if it happened that it dropped out 2 or 3 times in a row, you can safely throw it out of the list of the most probable numbers. However, the mathematical theory of probability says that the probability of a particular course of events does not depend in any way on how often it has been repeated in the past.
Pool is a society of people who, using the methods described above, determine the most likely numbers to drop out and, by agreement, each of them bets on a certain number or combination.
The next method is based on the analysis of preferences when choosing numbers by other lottery participants. The more people choose the same numbers, the less the winnings will be. Therefore, it is necessary to choose such numbers that the average man in the street does not touch. The numbers in the upper three lines are selected several times more often than in the lower ones. Many are guided by their birthdays or memorable dates, so numbers up to 31 are chosen more often than others. There are also fans of prime numbers, whose opinion is also taken into account. And the last pattern - ordinary people, choosing numbers, try to be located completely randomly, so that there are no patterns or rhythms between them. Based on this, the necessary numbers and their combinations are selected.
The pooling technique is widespread among foreign dreamers of winning. In case of a win, the prize money is divided equally among all the participants in the pool. Perhaps this method increases the likelihood of winning, but the risk that the winning participant will refuse to share the prize is added to the risk of losing. And the cost of the win, divided by all, decreases many times over.
Non-mathematical methods
The Internet is full of numerous ways to win, based on various mystical rituals, visualization and similar quackery. As well as special programs that automatically select combinations of numbers using formulas known only to them. All of these methods do not in any way increase the likelihood of winning a prize. If such methods really worked, why have not their authors still got rich, and the organizers of the lotteries have not yet gone bankrupt?
There are also just lucky people. Edward Williams, a retired officer of the Royal Armed Forces, managed to win large sums of money from 100,000 to a million dollars in the lottery 4 times. In 2009, he was lucky to win the lottery twice.
The lottery organizers themselves offer a simple and ingenuous way to increase your chance of winning - this is to play. First, decide on the monthly amount that you will not mind losing. And with this money, you regularly buy lottery tickets. From the point of view of common sense, everything is correct: if you never play, you will never win. And regular participation in lotteries is a way to increase the chances of luck.
