Having a lottery strategy adds an element of fun and keeps you motivated. Most players use their own set of favourite numbers, and statisticians agree that there are minimal tactics that can be used to beat the odds. Sticking with your lucky numbers, together with using some numbers in other combinations, is the most popular option. From a probability perspective, your lottery betting odds are no greater, but it feels good!
The Quick Pick option is also extremely popular and the easiest method of choosing your numbers. It’s completely fair as numbers are randomly generated, and interestingly enough, around 70% of Powerball winners have won this way. You can even use lottery software to choose your daily numbers. These use complex number pattern identification strategies to select the most likely numbers to win, although there is no clear evidence that they actually improve your odds.
