"What To Avoid"
Information
DO NOT Select Thise Numbers When Playing Lotto
|
According
to LottoPI, Lotto players who select their numbers
thoughtlessly or foolishly are destined to lose
even before the Draw takes place. By just knowing
which number combinations and patterns to avoid,
you'll have an advantage over other players--and
save money, too.
|
| 1. AVOID COMBINATIONS THAT
HAVE BEEN DRAWN BEFORE
Many players like to bet the same set of numbers
that have won someone else a big Jackpot.
By doing so, they're almost guaranteed not
to win one themselves. Even in the lowest
odds 6 out of 25 Lotto game, the same set
of six numbers has a chance of being drawn
only once every 3, 405 years! It's practically
impossible for the exact same set of six numbers
to hit the Jackpot twice.
|
2. AVOID BETTING SIX CONSECUTIVE
NUMBERS
Six consecutive numbers (11-12-13-14-15-16,
for example) have never been drawn in
any state or international Lotto game. Even
five consecutive numbers is a very rare occurrence.
In most Lotto games, it has never happened even
once.
|
3. AVOID BETTING ONE NUMBER
GROUP
Never choose all six numbers from one number
group, such as all single digits, all teens,
or all 20's. All six winning numbers being drawn
from one number group is highly unlikely - since
it has never happened before in any Lotto game.
|
4. AVOID THE COMBINATION 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The most popular set of numbers most often played
is: 1-2-3-4-5-6. Thousands of tickets are bought
in each Lotto Draw with this combination. THIS
TICKET IS GUARANTEED TO LOSE because the selection
is too far out of balance to come up in a random
drawing.
The proof of this claim is verified by the Draw
results in all the State and International Lottery
games. If six consecutive numbers have never
been drawn, and six numbers from one number
group have never been drawn either, then what
chance does the number combination 1-2-3-4-5-6
have?
The least likely combinations to be drawn as
winners are those at the tail ends of a bell
curve. These are the lowest six numbers and
the highest six numbers of any game.

5. AVOID
PATTERN BETTING
Pattern betting is a very popular method of
marking bet slips. Most Lotto bet slips look
like this.
Patterns of numbers marked
in a row to make a straight line (either across
the bet slip or vertically or diagonally) are
very common. Straight lines are so common, they
were once played on more than 150,000 tickets
--- for just one drawing! Other designs such
as initials or numbers also get heavy play.
If such numbers won, payouts would be very low.
|
6. AVOID NUMBER MULTIPLES
Other popular combinations that get heavy play
are the number multiples, especially 5-10-15-20-25-30.
Such combinations have been played on at least
25,000 tickets in one drawing. If those numbers
were to win a US$30 million jackpot, each winner
would receive a single one-time payment of US$60.
|
7. AVOID ALL SAME LAST DIGITS
Many people like to play same last digits, such
as 3-13-23-33-43-53, or all the digits that
end in seven, or some other favorite lucky number.
Even FOUR same last digits only appear in less
than two tenths of one percent of all winnings.
Winning sets of numbers with 3 digits with the
same last number occur in less than 3% of all
drawings. Winning sets of numbers with TWO same
last digits occur in about 20% of all drawings.
Now, winning sets of numbers with NO same last
digits-- that's what happens most often.
|
8. AVOID LOW NUMBER COMBINATIONS
Majority of Lotto players like to play the calendar
numbers, such as birth dates, anniversaries,
and so on. This means that the most heavily
played numbers are 1 through 31. Many Lotto
games have 40 or more numbers - and numbers
32 and above do come out quite frequently. By
ruling out non-calendar numbers, you significantly
lessen your odds of winning a Jackpot.
Even if your calendar numbers do hit, you'll
probably have to share your First Prize Jackpot
with several other winners. An incident like
this happened on September 24, 1983, in the
New York Lotto. The highest Lotto number drawn
was 30, and there were 46 First Prize winners.
If you've decided to try your hand at the different
Lottery number selection systems, bear this
in mind: the key to success is playing the
probabilities.
If you play a pattern that occurs
only five percent of the time, you can expect
that pattern to lose 95 percent of the time.
