The National Lottery is the UK based lotto draw that takes place twice weekly.

The UK lottery is a 6/49 drawn meaning that you must correctly identify the 6 winning numbers drawn from a pool of 49. Therefore the advice in this piece applies equally well to all lotto draws that use the 6/49 system.

The British Lottery As An Example

Playing a 6 from 49 draw like the British lottery doesn’t give you much chance of winning when you purchase your ticket using normal lottery strategies (random picks, choosing significant dates et.).

In fact you have very little chance of winning a good prize because the odds are very heavily stacked against you.

To win the top jackpot prize in a 6/49 lotto draw you need to be very lucky indeed because you only have a 14,000,000 to 1 chance of picking the right numbers!

The UK Lottery has remained the same since it first began in 1994 on November the 19th. In the last 16 years a lot of data has been collected and number patterns have quite clearly emerged.

Improving Your Odds

When you want to immediately improve the odds of picking winning numbers you should look for those numbers that turn up in lottery draws time and time again. You should also stay away from number combinations that are never drawn.

An example of this would be numbers that increment by 1.

A number sequence like 6,7,8,9,10,11 has very little chance of being drawn! Also stay well clear of just even or just odd number combinations.

These combination are draw a tiny amount of the time and you are lessening your odds even ,more by choosing them. Don’t pick numbers that increment by a set amount or follow some obvious pattern as they will have very little chance of being drawn.

So, by studying the lottery patterns of previous draws you can pick numbers that are statistically more likely to be drawn. But there is more you can do.

Make sure you spread your number choices out. After you have gained a list of numbers that are drawn in your lottery more often than the others you should refine your choices further. Make sure you pick numbers that are not all grouped together Having all low or all high numbers reduces your odds of winning and also increases the likelihood that you would have to share your prize if they were drawn because so many people use this approach to choosing numbers.

I would also advise you to join a syndicate and investigate a good “wheeling system” as they can be used to increase your odds of winning by many millions to 1!
