many scientific number selection
methods to choose from, experts
recommend sticking to some basic
facts.
These are some of the ground rules
you must remember: |

1.
PLAY A BALANCED GAME
When
selecting Lotto numbers, try to strike a balance between
odd and even numbers, as well as high and low numbers.
Odds & Evens
All odd or all even numbers are rarely
drawn, occurring only 2% of the time. The best mix
is to have 2/4, 4/2 or 3/3, which means two odd and
four even, or four odd and two even, or three odd
and three even. One of these three patterns will occur
in about 80% of the drawings.
High & Low Numbers
Winning numbers
are usually spread across the entire number field.
In a 40-number game, for example, numbers 1 to 20
would be in the low half, and numbers 21 to 40 would
be in the high half. In a 49-number game, numbers
1 to 24 would be in the low half, and numbers 35 to
49 would be in the high half.
It's very rare that all high or all low numbers are
drawn. This occurs only 2% of the time. The best combination
is to have 2/4; 4/2; or 3/3; which translates to two
high and four low numbers; four high and two low numbers;
or, three high and three low numbers.
Winning number groups with these three patterns occur
more than 82% of the time for the simple reason that
Lottery numbers are randomly drawn. If you want to
play Lotto to win, it's important to select the Lottery
numbers in patterns most similar to the way the numbers
are actually drawn.
Most Lottery experts say that randomly drawn numbers
tend to have their sums distributed in a bell-shaped
curve. The range of all possible sums in a 49-number
Lotto game is from 21 to 279. If the number combinations
that could be made with the possible sums were to
be plotted out, the result would be a bell-shaped
curve, with the sums 21 and 279 at the tail end.
Best Sums
In a Pick-6 Lotto
game with a 49-number field, there is only one six-number
combination that adds up to 21: 1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 +6=
21
And, in the 6/49 Lotto game, only one six-number combination
adds up to 279: 44 + 45 + 46 + 47 + 48 + 49= 279
These combinations have the smallest and largest possible
sums. And they occur only once - at the tail ends
of a bell curve - making it virtually impossible for
either of those groups of numbers to be drawn as winning
combination.
HOT TIP: In the 49-number Lotto game, the most frequently
occurring sum is 150.

This is due to the fact that the greatest percentage
of six-number combinations in a 6/49 game adds up
to 150. There are numerous different ways to make
a six number combination that adds up to 150. So theoretically,
six-number combinations that add up to 150 are the
most likely to occur in a randomly-drawn 49-number
Lotto game.
The 150 sum would be at the top center point of the
bell curve, while higher or lower sums move away up
to the extreme ends (combinations 21 and 279). |

MONITOR PREVIOUS GAMES
Most Lotto players don't realize the importance of
monitoring past Lotto Draw results. But tracking or
analyzing the frequency of numbers from previous Draws
rates the numbers' past performance in order to determine
its chances of being drawn again in the future.
Best Numbers & Hot Numbers
Best Numbers are those numbers that have come out
in past Draws with the greatest frequency. Hot Numbers
are those which are most overdue for a Draw. Lottery
experts say that high frequency (best) numbers which
are also very overdue (or hot) make the very best
bets.
Adjacent Numbers
Adjacent Numbers are numbers on either side of the
Lotto numbers that hit in the last drawing. To illustrate,
if the number 28 hit in the last drawing, its Adjacent
Numbers would be 27 or 29 for the next drawing. Or,
if number 35 just won in the last game, its Adjacent
Numbers for the next game would be 34 or 36.
It's a good idea to give special attention to the
Adjacent Numbers of the last game's winners because
an average of one or two Adjacent Numbers come up
each drawing. More than 80% of the drawings have one
or more Adjacent Numbers, averaging 1.4 Adjacent Numbers
per game.
Number Groups
Look at a list of past winning numbers for the Lotto
game you play, and you'll see, more often than not,
that one or more of the number groups is not represented.
For example, in the combination 5-15-18-32-38-42,
there are no 20's. Tracking and studying Number Groups
can help you decide which group to omit and which
group to give extra heavy play.
Games Skipped
List the number of games skipped since the last hit
for each of the winning numbers during the last five
games. Then, mark the number of times each skip occurred.
If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the numbers
out that many games. |

USE A WHEELING SYSTEM
Wheeling
refers to the method used to incorporate more than
6 numbers into the number combinations you would like
to play. Say, for example, you've chosen 7 favorite
numbers to play in a Pick-6 Lotto. You can wheel these
7 numbers into different 6-number combinations and
play these combinations so that all 7 numbers are
included in your play
