Probably not. Cardsharps use the laws of probability to increase their chances of winning and you can use the same tools with the lottery/lotto. It turns out that winning the lottery is not as random as we might imagine.If you study the winning numbers of any particular lottery over time (quite a long time), you’ll find that certain numbers come up more often than others do. Moreover, some numbers come up less often than others (step forwards our fickle friend, the number thirteen).
This article, using the UK’s Lotto as a basis, outlines the numbers drawn most often. It also points out that whatever you do, your chances of winning a significant amount are still small to negligible. (As an aside, if you’ve read the book or seen the movie ‘A Beautiful Mind’, you’ll know that is based on the life and work of John Nash, who popularised (and won a Nobel Prize for his work on) Game Theory. If you haven’t done either of these things, you probably should.)
