Statistics show us many things that can be both useful and unusable for many reasons.For example, did you know that the odds of an average golfer hitting a 'hole in one' in a given round are 12,000-to-1 and the odds of getting two in the same round are 67,000,000-to-1?
So imagine how amazing it was to everyone (and how amazing it still is) when a guy used his $1000 lottery winnings to buy a ticket that won him $1 million! The odds of this happening are astronomical. Very lucky indeed.
Some time ago a famous New York paper reported on a working-class man who spent most of his hard earned money on lottery tickets.In the hope, and false belief, that he could win a big prize simply by buying more random tickets Mr. Otero spent a whopping $30,000 a year on lottery tickets!
The truth is that, statistically, buying more tickets, that are chosen randomly and not using a mathematical system, does not increase your chances of winning a prize in the lottery at all!
It surprises many people to find out that lottery prizes are extremely hard to get. In fact if you buy a UK lottery ticket, which is a match 6 from 49 draw, at the beginning of the week there is a better chance of you dying before the draw than there is of you winning it!
You see unfortunately the odds of winning the jackpot ion such a draw are fourteen million to one while the odds of being dead are much lower. In fact you even have a better chance of becoming a saint because the odds are only killed by lightning are roughly 2650000 to 1!These low odds apply to every ticket you buy. Buying more tickets does not give you a better chance of winning.
However, when you use a statistics, probability and odds with the lottery something very interesting happens to the statistics. Let's take a wheeling system as an example.
When you wheel and extra number in your pick of 6, so that you pick 7 numbers instead and then "wheel" so that all numbers end up on a ticket together two things happen. Although wheeling means you must buy more lottery tickets it also ensures you have a much, much higher chance of winning a top lottery prize.
When you wheel 7 numbers instead of 6 you go from a 14 million to 1 chance of winning the lottery to half a million to 1 - just by adding an extra number and the price of the tickets only adds up to £28!
So, if Mr. Otero had only played a 6 from 49, or similar type of lottery, and wheeled his numbers he may well be a very wealthy man by now.
There is a lottery system that is guaranteed to give you a win! In fact it was developed by a Mathematics Professor who used it to win 5 times! Find out more at how to win the lottery.
