What are some lottery strategies?

Since ancient times, people have taken part in lotteries with the sole aim of making as much money as possible. Some people did get lucky, but millions of participants could only be convinced that winning the lottery was virtually impossible. Over the centuries, however, maths came into the lottery world. Experienced players began to devise strategies for winning. Some of them passed on to the regular participants in the various lotteries. It is about these strategies we will tell.

Analyzing Number Matches

All lotteries have a drawing history, both on the official website and on specialized resources. Often, some numbers are repeated, so each player can draw certain conclusions for himself. The strategy itself is not prescribed, so experienced players rely only on their experience.

The numbers are divided into two categories:

• Hot – the balls that fall out more often than others in the pool of the last ten draws;
• Cold – the balls falling out less frequently than others.

On the basis of his own observations the player can determine how to act in the next draw. Some may prefer to bet on hot numbers, as they are more likely to be drawn one more time. Some give preference to cold numbers, because according to probability theory the cold ones will be used in the next pool. Most players mix hot and cold numbers in the hope to win.

Wheeling

A lottery system, where a player is required to fill multiple tickets with the same numbers. Some lotteries are set up with more than just a simple 6-8 choice from a given number of numbers. Sometimes you have to guess the sequence as well. And it is in the sequence that players get it wrong, even though they guess all the numbers correctly.

In this case the Wheeling system should help – filling in several tickets with variants chosen by the player. In this way, the numbers picked will be used as efficiently as possible.

Syndicates

El Gordo is one of the oldest lotteries in Spain. Its massive jackpot was once decided by a group of 1800 people who lived in a Spanish settlement. They set up a syndicate to buy the lottery tickets. They each invested 20 euros, and the winnings could amount to 400 thousand euros per person. Many people liked the idea, and in 2011, a final draw was held. When the jackpot fell to one of the pensioners, he was incredibly excited about the event:
“We couldn’t believe it. All my eights had won! Our village was celebrating, wines and champagne were pouring down. In an instant we were fabulously rich.”

There are several key aspects to a syndicate ticket buying strategy:

• Trust only those close to you. Don’t rely on casual acquaintances and people you don’t know well;
• When joining an already established syndicate, make sure it is reputable – such places must not have more than 100 members;
• The terms and conditions of entry and participation must be transparent.

Conclusion

On the expanse of the global network a huge variety of strategies, some of which serve as bait for addicts. Try to avoid completely absurd tactics, which can only lead to success in words. Especially when people sell any secret scheme to make money on the lottery. Such a scheme will not work, at least because of the specifics of the lottery itself – the tickets are selected and sold in such a way that players can pick up their winnings with a minimum chance of success. One of these is the “28 Success Combinations” scheme, which has gone viral on many social media sites. It sells for about $100, but no success.
