Many favour buying multiple ticketsAnother method employed by lottery strategists is that of the near miss.
If you chose, say, 07-11-15-27-30-41, and the numbers selected are 06-10-16-26-31-42, then it's claimed that you have come close.
Fact is, in the lottery, a 'near miss' is as good as a mile.
Psychologists understand the importance of the near miss - it gives people hope to bet again. False hope, generally.
What you can do with numbers is study those that are selected least by lottery ticket buyers.
This won't increase your chances of winning the lottery but if those numbers come up you've less chance of having to share your jackpot with other winners.
Popular numbers include lucky number seven and numbers under 32, as people often go for a combination of numbers involving their birth date. Numbers 40 and over are among the least popular.
But never forget the odds. People believe one day, at a one-in 14-million chance, they may win the lottery.
A smoker told he had a one-in-14 million chance of lung cancer would carry on smoking gaspers until the day he keeled over thinking there was no risk.
In a way, it's a tribute to the optimism of human nature that people think they can win the jackpot. Nonetheless, there is no rhyme nor reason to winning it.
