Statistics That Count In The Lottery

Almost everyone loves to discover interesting information and statistics, however, most of the time they are totally pointless in real life. For example, did you know that the odds of an average golfer hitting a 'hole in one' in a given round are 12,000-to-1 and the odds of getting two in the same round are 67,000,000-to-1?

So picture the surprise of spectators as Danny Leake, an amateur golfer, achieved an unbelievable 'hole in one' on the same hole two days in a row at a tourney in Texas (something that is so unique the probability of it happening have never been calculated). It's such a shame such a fortunate guy didn't bet on the lottery that day instead!

The New York Times told of a guy in New York City, who was earning a regular salary as a superintendent, poured most of his cash into the lottery. Unfortunately Mr. Ray Otero has the misguided impression that his has a greater chance of taking home a jackpot prize in a lottery by purchasing more tickets!

However, Ray fails to realise that simply buying more tickets does not increase your odds of winning a prize at all! All randomly bought tickets have precisely similar chance of winning as each other regardless of how many you procure!

Do you know that if you procure a 6 from 49 lottery ticket, like those sold on the UK National Lottery, on a Monday that you have a statistically improved chance of being deceased on Saturday than taking home the lottery jackpot?

This unfortunate statistic is precise because you have a 14,000,000 to 1 chance of winning a jackpot on a 6 from 49 draw and the odds of being hit by lightning or killed by lightning are around 2650000 to 1. Every ticket you buy has the same odds of winning. Purchasing more tickets does not\doesn't give you a better chance of winning.

However, it is probable to increase your chances of winning the lottery when you use the mathematical statistics to your advantage. Let's take a wheeling system as an example. Are you scouring the net to find a lottery system that is sure to hand you a win! Look no more. We have one for you. In fact it was developed by a Mathematics Professor who used it to win 5 times! Find out more at http://www.howtowinthelotteryguaranteed.com/how-to-win-the-lottery. When you pick an extra number, so that you pick 7 numbers instead of 6, and then "wheel" so that all numbers end up on a ticket together, 2 things happen. Although wheeling means you must buy more lottery tickets it also guarantees you have a much, much higher chance of winning a top lottery prize.

When you use wheeling in a 6 from 49 draw, like the UK lottery, and use 7 numbers rather than 6 the chances of winning are slashed from 14 million to 1 down to half a million to 1 - with simply 1 extra number and a £28 stake!!

Although wheeling is not the most successful of lottery systems (there are much more definite ones that secure a win) if Mr. Otero had used such a system (and his $30,000 a year lottery stake money) and played it with a 6 from 49 draw he might have been celebrating a lottery win a long time ago!
