Can you beat the lottery by using a system?
When you search library databases or peruse through the Games or Reference aisles of bookstores, or surf the Internet, you will find a number of books talking about their “perect” among many of methods to beat the lottery. They will show you how to play the lottery so that you will big each time. Hit the big one! Win jackpot after jackpot after jackpot!! But do these methods actually work in the real world?
Let's Look at the Methods
Among the plethora of methods are the following most common ones you will find in most books, articles, websites, and blogs about beating the lottery. There are the “past winning number” systems that advocate only playing individual lottery numbers that have appeared in past winning combinations, or only playing past winning combinations themselves. The theory behind this system is that if they appeared in winning combinations in the past, then they will appear in winning combinations in the future.
Then there are the “mathematics” systems that employ hard core math formulas and mathematical calculations to determine the probability and likelihood of any one number or any one combination coming up.
And there are the “play every combination” systems in which only very rich people will spend their money on buying a ticket for every single combination thus guaranteeing to wiin the jackpot.
The “random pattern” systems employ methods that evaluate winning patterns in the random numbers that make up winning combinations to see the repeating patterns for the numbers that would most likely make up the jackpot combo.
“Hot” and “cold” numbers systems are similar to slot machines with supposed “hot” and “cold” cycles. Hot numbers are those numbers that appear very often in winning lines while cold numbers rarely appear. It is believed that by picking hot numbers and avoiding cold numbers, it is possible to increase your odds of winning the lottery.
Of course there are many books both past and present that go into detail about how the system is used by the author to continually win the lottery and how you can do it too. However, it is very important to note that these authors don’t really make their money from their systems, they make their money from selling the books about their systems.
So is there any system that can actually help you win the lottery? Well firstly, if there was an actual system in which you would win all the time, every time, it would be all over the news. Secondly, if the system did work, you really would never hear of it as the creator of the system would keep it to themselves. Who wants competition if you have something that works and makes you tons of money? You really would keep it a secret.
You try the systems if you want and if one of them seems to work for you then stay with it and enjoy the fruits of your labor. But for most people, the only system in the world that works for the lottery is luck. There really is no way to predict what lottery numbers will come up in a draw. Every number has an equal chance of being pulled and an equal chance of not being pulled. So try the methods if you want and see if any work for you. If not, break out the horseshoe, four-leaf clover, and tiny troll doll and place them on your tickets to hopefully increase your luck in a big lottery win.
