"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.
