4.7. Extra: Lottery Dos and (Mostly) Don'tsEvery one thinks that playing their birthday numbers (or their great great grandma’s or their Aunt Trudy’s or a combination of the three) is lucky. Think about how many people share your birthday. If you do win a reasonable prize, you will most likely have to share your winnings with many other winners. Don’t play combinations that have been drawn before. It is practically impossible, or at least there are crazy odds, that the same set will be drawn twice. Don’t bet consecutive numbers. A combination with successive numbers (23, 24, 25, 26, 27) has never been drawn in any state or international lotto game. And NEVER bet 1,2,3,4,5,6. Not only is this the most popular number selection, meaning you will have to share your jackpot with possibly hundreds of people, but it is also virtually impossible to draw. Don’t bet one number group. Filters are important but don’t fall into the trap of choosing numbers from all one type, such as all teens. This group is also unlikely to be picked for every number drawn. Don’t play all the same last digits or multiples. (2, 12, 22, 32, 42, 52 or 5,10,15, 20, 25,30). Another unlikely occurrence based on the stats. Don’t pattern bet on betting slips. You may think that choosing a straight or vertical line is cute. But lots of other people do also. There’s that sharing thing again. Don’t be greedy. Reinvesting a smaller prize back in to playing the lottery seems like tempting fate. Take your winnings and run! Don’t play an outrageous number of selections on an on-going basis. Although more selections could make you more hopeful, it is gambling against very high odds. Don’t risk what you can’t afford. Ticket purchasing beyond your financial means borders on problem gambling. Be careful! Do include at least one high number. The winning numbers could be something like: 8, 9, 4, 5, and 2. But do you ever remember it happening? Don’t focus too much on the odds of becoming a millionaire. They might be huge, but every winner was once just like you. Regular people win with every jackpot draw. It really could happen to you. Gail Howard, one of the most famous lottery gurus, says your state of mind can have a huge influence on whether you win or lose. "Thoughts are charged with energy, especially when triggered by emotion,” Howard says. “A negative thought attracts a negative response. Fear attracts exactly that which one fears. On the other hand, a strong desire for a particular goal that is charged with positive energy, attracts a positive response, especially when every effort is made to attain that goal. Therefore, if you have it in your mind that you are unlucky or a loser, you assuredly will be. To be a winner, you must think of yourself as a winner.”
