Why Random Lottery Numbers Can’t Win

In the quest for the winning lottery formula, there are ways to increase your chances and ways to decrease your chances. Many people take the easy way out and then combine an act of randomness justified by fate. “If it was meant to be, it was meant to be.” While that is certainly the case no matter what faith you belong to, it certainly doesn’t hurt to help increase your odds at winning.

Think about it this way. Assuming there are 45 numbers in the lottery and the numbers are reset each and every drawing, each random pick of numbers is indeed that, random! Some people may say that it is just a good a chance as any, but consider this. If you go in and get a quick six numbers whenever you feel like playing, what happens if those random six numbers just hit the week before or what if they hit the week after when you don’t play them?

Instead, if you really have no desire to pick numbers, just get a quick six pick and make those numbers your numbers. This way you theoretically increase your chances of winning each week because the odds of recent combinations winning the lottery are nearly non-existent. BUT it is still an increase in your odds at winning. To make this easy, the lottery allows you to play multiple weeks at once for up to a year in some drawings. This way you can play six numbers for a month, two months, six months, whatever.
