The Lottery Statistics That Count

Statistics show us many things that can be both useful and unusable for many reasons.A great example of this would be the fact that 85% of people live north of the Equator. Another example is that only 12% of people who set new year's resolutions will stick to them.

So imagine the surprise of spectators when Danny Leake, an amateur golfer, achieved an unbelievable 'hole in one' on the same hole two days in a row at a tournament in Texas (something that is so unusual the odds of it happening have never been calculated). Pity such a lucky guy didn't play the lottery that day instead!

What would you think of a guy who earned a regular working man's wage but spent most of it on lottery tickets? Well theer is a New York man who does just that.Ray Otero foolishly believes that buy ploughing his money into lottery tickets he is increasing his chances of winning a jackpot prize with each purchase (by sheer number of tickets).

Of course what Mr. Otero fails to realise is that statistically you have no better chance of winning the jackpot with 500 tickets than you do with 1 when the numbers on the tickets are chosen randomly!

It surprises many people to find out that lottery prizes are extremely hard to get. In fact if you buy a UK lottery ticket, which is a match 6 from 49 draw, at the beginning of the week there is a better chance of you dying before the draw than there is of you winning it!

Statistically you have a 14 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery when you buy a lottery ticket.These low odds apply to every ticket you buy. Buying more tickets does not give you a better chance of winning.

However, when you use a statistics, probability and odds with the lottery something very interesting happens to the statistics. Wheeling lottery numbers is probably the best known and easiest to use lottery system that greatly increases your chances of winning.

When you use a wheeling system the odds of winning a top prize are improved by millions to 1. When you add only one number to your pick (in a 6 from 49 lotto draw) you increase your chances of winning by millions, literally! Although wheeling means you must buy more lottery tickets it also ensures 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 instead of 6 the odds of winning are slashed from 14 million to 1 down to half a million to 1 - with just 1 extra number and a 28 stake!!

So, if Mr. Otero had only played a 6 from 49, or similar type of lottery, and wheeled his numbers he may well be a very wealthy man by now.
