Most people think that LUCK is all we need to win the biggest jackpot or at least win secondary prizes in playing a lottery game. They select or pick the lottery winning numbers at random and put their hopes on the lottery machines. If they are lucky, they become the winners, but if that is not their day to win the prize, they think they are unlucky. They keep on trying by using this way, hoping their luck will approach them one day.

Well, actually it is not always 100% true. We cannot always rely on luck only in this game. Sometimes, people realize that they can also select their winning numbers by using their birthdays, children’s ages, dates of anniversaries, even their friends’ shoe sizes. Yet, they are not reliable and not valid sources in playing this game. This is because to win the lottery game is like doing mathematics exercises. It needs numbers, calculations, statistics and knowledge of numbers probabilities.

However, not all people are good at mathematics. So, how can they win the lotto game and grab the biggest jackpot they have always hoped to win? Well, actually in lotto games, it is not very surprising that the winning numbers appear in more than one or two drawings. The numbers that are drawn usually have similar patterns with the previous winning numbers, which often happens, even sometimes in a big prize drawing.  This pattern can be tracked to make our number selections easier to do, which means it can raise our probabilities to become a jackpot winner.

In a lottery game, choosing a consecutive number in your set numbers will give you smaller chance to win the game. This is because consecutive numbers have never been the winning numbers to draw since this game was played long time ago. For example, if the lotto game has 49 numbers, never select 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 40,41,42,43,44,45. Last digit numbers never appear to be drawn, as well.  So, the set numbers of 3,13,23,33,43,53,63 and so on cannot be relied on to get the prize. Selecting varied numbers is a good idea to have more chance of winning. Knowing the sum of the set numbers is also considerable. If you pick numbers 2,5,8,10,19,43,51,  the sum of the numbers is only 138, which is still lower than the winning numbers usually drawn. It means that we have to pick bigger numbers to get bigger sums.
Splitting between odd numbers and even numbers is also recommended. The reason is that it never happens in the history that the winning numbers contain all odd numbers or all even numbers. Winning numbers are the combination of both number groups. 8,12,24,32,40,42,60 or 3,7,11,21,45,51 are not suggested combination to make. Be aware of using numbers from the calendar since it is only containing 31 numbers at the most, while the range numbers in lotto game is wider. We can see here if the game has 49 numbers, so your choice of lower numbers is not a great idea. To solve this kind of thing is by picking high numbers at the beginning and the low numbers at the end.

We can track numbers that have appeared in the previous drawings to select our own numbers. From here, we usually can see that some numbers have been drawn in the previous games (these numbers are usually called HOT numbers). If there are some hot numbers not used in the game you are playing yet, they can be considered to select. If you play the same COLD numbers in every drawing because you think it is a must, so your chance to grab the prize needs to wait for a long time to come.
