Lottery Strategies #7 - Get Mean
As I said in my last post, Lottery Number Patterns and trends exist in all lotteries. All you have to do is look. But, not only are they there, they should be there. The fact that Lottery Number Patterns and trends exist should not be a surprise to anyone.
In probability theory there is a theorem called the Law of Large Numbers. It simply states that, as the number of sample or trials increase, the results will approach the expected mean or average value.
However, as the Wikipedia link above shows, in the short term, the average value can vary considerably from the expected value. That’s why in every lottery some numbers occur far more often than other number. For example, in the FL653 lottery, number 2 only hit 22 times while number 23 hit 42 times. In the OR648, number 16 hit only hit 23 times while number 19 hit 42 times. In the MegaMillions lottery, number 47 only hit 16 times while number 53 hit 36 times. Etc, etc.
How is it possible to find such wide variations in lottery number performance in EVERY LOTTERY? It’s possible because there haven’t been enough drawings yet for everything to average out; for all numbers to have occurred the same number of times. All lotteries are performing exactly as the Law of Large Numbers predicts they should. In the short term, wildly varying results. In the long term, all numbers will approach their expected mean or average value.
Again, the good news. The long term is hundreds of thousands of years. The short term is your lifetime.
So, Enjoy. Lottery Statistics show that those Lottery Number Patterns will be around for awhile.
LONA™ and I welcome your ideas and thoughts on anything lottery.
I am very much interested in Lottery as I have few ideas and techniques myself.
Do you believe in luck? I do. Would it contrast to the techniques that’s been mentioned?
BJ, you’re absolutely right. All of us can do a lot to improve our chances of winning the lottery. We’re making our own luck. And, after we’ve done all we can do, then lady luck steps in.
The key here is that Serious Lottery Players don’t have to be AS LUCKY as the rest of the players. Our chances are much better.
