Special days and Anniversaries  - 

Probably the most used lottery strategy is the practice of using special and personally important days as a way of picking lucky numbers. According to lottery experts not only do many people use this technique, this is the most popular method people use to choose their lucky numbers . Unfortunately that means it has one big drawback. The result of this strategy’s popularity has a big downside. Because there are only a relatively small amount of numbers to pick from, many people choosing them, and fewer numbers in the popular set than in the entire possible set that could be chosen, your chances of winning are the same. The problem is that with so many people playing the same small set of numbers, your odds of sharing your winnings if you do win go way up. You’ll be diluting the jackpot, and that is probably not a strategy that you want to follow.

Recently Drawn Numbers -

One “insider” technique used by experienced players is to look up the list of recently drawn numbers at the state lotto website. You can play both sides of this, choosing either the numbers that have not hit recently, because they are over due, or the ones thathave proved very popular recently, on the grounds that they are hot. Unfortunately, just because the numbers haven’t hit for a while doesn’t mean they are “overdue” to deliver you a big jackpot winner any time soon. Although it is popular, and folks have won using this strategy on occasion, on the whole, you would be better off using a truly effective way to choose your winning numbers, and this technique isn’t it.
