Playing The Lottery and Winning

Lotto 6/49 Every Time

I have been asked many times, “How do you increase you odds of winning the Lottery?” Let’s stick to the Lotto 6/49 because I’m Canadian and that’s the most popular Lottery in Canada.

How do you increase your odds of winning the Lotto 6/49?

Simple…. Put your money in your pocket and walk away from the lottery booth.

BOOM, you win.  You just won $3 that you were about to lose.

Every time, your chances are the same

You odds of winning the lottery are exactly the same every time you play:

By picking those numbers did you increase your chance of winning?

No. You can’t do it.

1 chance in 13,983,816.

Every time.

Analysis – Why you can’t increase your chances

Remember the time you were playing football with your buddies and you caught the ball with your balls.  Bet you didn’t do that again.  What’s the chance of that happening again?  Close to zero.  Why?  Because you are smart enough to never do whatever you did to catch the ball with your balls again.  You are going to alter your position the next time you catch a ball and never let it hit you in the balls again.

Remember the time you were playing dice and you rolled a 7.  What are the chances that will happen again? You have a 16.7% chance of rolling a 7 again.  Every time you throw 2 six sided dice you have a 16.7% chance to roll a seven.  Every time.  Dice have no memory, they are inanimate objects and cannot alter the outcome of their position once thrown.

Lotto balls have no memory.

If they don’t remember, they can’t adjust how they come out of that fancy looking machine.  Maybe the rail gets a little kink, or the 49 ball gets a little wobble and the odds are adjusted for a few games but, the rail gets straightened, the ball gets replaced, and the fancy machine becomes a computer.  Lotto balls don’t have a memory.  Lotto Balls can’t remember which one came out last or just before and they don’t care.  So they come out in random order never really caring if you win the lottery or not.

Don’t buy a ticket.  You will lose.

Don’t ask how to win

Asking will lead you to thinking about it and thinking about it will lead you to spend money.

So don’t ask.

Put your money in your pocket and join all the millionaires out there who don’t play the lottery.
