subject: Three False Beliefs On Uk Lottery Tickets [print this page] Draws for UK lottery tickets have been around for quite a while now. They are very popular with people these days. This has led to some certain notions being spread among players and being accepted without a second thought. Unfortunately, some of these notions are false. If you are a lottery game player and have ever thought following numbers that are hot or cold, buying tickets from "lucky" outlets or playing repeated numbers will improve your likelihood of winning, this article is for you.
Playing Hot or Cold Numbers
This lottery myth says that you can increase your winning chances by being aware of cold and hot numbers. You can then choose to include or avoid them to improve your winning chances. A hot number is simply one that has been drawn more than average, while a cold number is one that has come up less than average.
Doing lottery statistics is an exciting and involving thing to do. However, playing hot or cold numbers will not alter your wining chances. Both cold and hot draw numbers have the same likelihood of success. So, trying to alter your odds of being lucky by playing hot or cold numbers is a fruitless attempt.
Purchasing Tickets from Lottery Outlets Considered Lucky
This is a widely spread misconception. It says that it is actually possible to increase your chances of getting a winning outcome by buying lottery tickets from "lucky" outlets. Outlets that are considered "lucky" are those that have in the pats sold winning tickets.
Your chances of having a favorable outcome by purchasing tickets from "lucky" outlets are nil. It is therefore fair to say that someone who buys his lottery ticket from an online ticketing site and someone who buys his from an outlet regarded as lucky have both the same odds of success.
Playing Repeated Numbers
This last myth involves superstition, just like many other lottery myths. People believe that playing or not playing repeated numbers can alter their likelihood of winning a lottery.
Both of these notions are mistaken. All numbers have exactly the same odds of appearing in each and every draw. So it does not matter whether you play or don't play repeated numbers, the likelihood of them being repeated is similar in each draw.
Myths about UK lottery tickets will always be around so long as people continue to play lottery games. But if you keep in mind the fact that all lottery games are random events which cannot be predicted, you can be able to differentiate myths from reality.
