Many people pick low digits in the lottery consistently without knowing that doing so greatly decreases their odds of winning a top prize. 1-6 is a typical lotto play that many people pick in lotteries like the one in the UK (six from forty-nine draw). This combination has never been drawn in any lottery anywhere in the world and is unlikely to be drawn any time soon!
You may be wondering why this combination, or a combination of low digit numbers, greatly decreases your odds of winning a jackpot prize.
To understand why this is the case just think about a typical 6/49 lottery - like the UK lotto. There are 49 numbers that have the potential of being drawn as winners. However, only 9 of those numbers are single digit numbers! That is 9 single digit numbers while there are 40 double digit numbers. Only the numbers 1-9 are single while 10 - 40 are double.
So it stands to reason that it is more likely that a double digit number will be drawn because there are a great deal more of them in the draw!
By choosing all low digit numbers with a single character you greatly reduce the chances of having all winners because double character number is much more likely to be drawn.
Choosing a sequence such as 1 - 6 in a 6/49 draw gives you such low odds of winning that you are better not even playing and saving your money. The fact that all the numbers are low, single digit numbers makes the likelihood of having the winning numbers unlikely but having them all in a continuous line makes winning an even more remote possibility.
These type of long shots are extremely unlikely to ever come up. However, if they do your winning ticket will not be worth as much as it normally would because so many people foolishly play these numbers every week!
Picking numbers across the board gives you a much greater chance of choosing the correct number combination. There are always "hot numbers" that are drawn more frequently and that are drawn frequently together.
There are therefore certain things that you can do and certain things you should avoid doing in order to help you win the elusive lottery jackpot. If you also use a wheeling system to play more numbers and generate more combinations you can increase your odds of winning by millions to 1!
