hey friend!
here's the answer.................
There are almost as many ways of choosing lottery numbers as there are chances of winning it.
With a must-win £24.7 million jackpot up for grabs this week, picking the right numbers could change your life.
However, the first thing to realise is that the odds are stacked against you.
The chance of winning the National Lottery jackpot is 1 in 13,983,816 (or approximately 1 in 14 million), while there is a 1 in 2,330,636 chance of getting five numbers plus the bonus ball.
There is a one in 55,000 chance of five of your numbers being selected by the lottery machine.
To win the Euromillions jackpot there is a one in 116.5 million of all your numbers being drawn.
The chance winning any of the lottery prizes, however small, is approximately 54 to 1. So an average of one million people per draw will likely win a prize.
But is there a way of narrowing these odds? Let's take a look at some of the options:
Picking the most commonly drawn numbers
One approach would be to choose the numbers that come up most often. At the moment the most frequently drawn ball is the number 44.
Since the National Lottery began in 1994, it has been drawn 253 times.
The other most common numbers are:
38 – 251 times40 – 249 times23 – 248 times39 – 246 times33 – 245 times
However, their frequency of appearance is no indication that they will be drawn together. In fact, the chance of these numbers cropping up in a winning combination is the same as any other set of six.
1. Choosing the birthdays of family or friends
2. Picking overdue numbers
3. Lucky numbers
4. Picking previous winning numbers
5. Pick the best-ever performing ticket
6. The appliance of science
7. The random selection
Surprisingly, this is seen as the best approach by experts.
8. Try the aesthetic approach
hope it helps!!!
