Winning a lottery game is all about your luck. Good luck plays a vital role in making you win, but you can certainly improve your winning odds by working on your number selection process. There are strategies to choose winning numbers and obtain competitive edge over millions of other lottery participants. Here are the 10 best ways that you can use to select the winning numbers. 

• Keep Consecutive Numbers Low: Choosing more than one combination of consecutive numbers can be hazardous for your chances of winning. At most, choose only one set of consecutive numbers. This will reduce your competition with thousands of other participants betting on one or the other consecutive number combinations.

• Number Series are In: The number series obtained with different mathematical algorithms have replaced the trend of number patterns and the good news is that not many people are talented enough to use these series as winning numbers. For instance, the Fibonacci series is a great way to decide these numbers.

• Using Remainders as Numbers: Another method can be using the remainders obtained by dividing the number combinations with the allowed upper limit. For instance, if you are asked to choose 50 number combinations, you can divide each number by 50 and use the remainders to form your winning numbers.

• Numbers Recommended by Lottery Services: You can mix the numbers suggested by the lottery services with your own logically obtained numbers. This is because these services are visited by hundreds of other participants, thereby decreasing your share even if you have the winning numbers in hand.

• Number Patterns are Common: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,… or 1, 11, 21, 31,….  All these number patterns were good in the old times when only a select few individuals used to try their luck in the lottery. Today when you are enforced to share the space with thousands of lottery hopefuls, you can actually beat majority of them by following these patterns.

• Don’t Use Copied Numbers: Have you obtained some numbers from your friend or any other lottery participant? Don’t use all of them and don’t neglect all of them. Choose the numbers which appeal to you and mix them with numbers you decided using any of the above-mentioned techniques.

• Weekly Winning Numbers: Analyze the numbers which have been appearing the maximum times in the last few weeks. However, don’t just use the numbers which appeared in the previous 2-3 weeks, as most of the lottery betters will be using them as well. Understand the frequency of the appearance of some good numbers.

• Stick to a Few Numbers: If luck didn’t favour you this week, don’t consider your numbers to be unlucky. Stick to most of them, but replacing only 1 or 2 of them. The patience you kept for so many weeks will be ultimately paid back.

• Birthday and Anniversary Dates: Choosing winning numbers according to important dates in your life, including birthdays and anniversaries, is an old-fashioned technique. But give it a thought that thousands or even millions of lottery participant might be following the same process. So, keep these dates minimum in the numbers selected by you.

• Revisiting the Important Dates: Follow a different approach in using dates. The numbers between 1 and 31 must be kept low, as many punters will be using them because of their birthdays or anniversaries appearing on these days. Similarly, keep the numbers corresponding to 12 months as low as possible.
