Winning the lottery comes down to a lot of luck, so, most people choose to bet on “lucky numbers” in the hope of improving their chances of hitting the jackpot.

In this article we are going to learn the best ways on how to pick lottery numbers because when the odds of winning are millions to one, let's face it, every little helps, right?

Learn the statistics

This method involves looking up previous draws and taking note of all the numbers that get drawn most frequently. And thanks to a global obsession with lotteries, there is tons of information out there for you to study with articles dedicated to just this!

Although there’s no mathematical or scientific reason why some numbers get drawn more than others, there are a few that appear to be hotter than others.

Just keep in mind that every number has the same chance of being drawn, regardless of whether it has appeared 10 or zero times over the past few draws. There is no cheat code.

Many lottery players who use this method feel it gives them an advantage, however, just keep in mind that it is pretty time consuming. So, if you wanted to make a quick fun bet, this method may not be for you.

You won’t be the only lotto player using this method, though, so be ready to split the prize if your numbers do win.

Have fun with numerology

The next method we are going to talk about is numerology. Whether you choose to use this method really does depend on whether you’re a believer in the power of the universe.

In simple terms, numerology is the study of numbers in your life. It links to the idea that the universe is a system and once broken down, we are left with the basic elements which are numbers.

Anyone can calculate their own “numbers” which hold a significance that’s personal to them. There are many different types of numerology, so the best bet is just searching online for a guide.

Once you’ve come up with six numbers, use them for the next lottery draw.

You never know: the universe could lead to you finally winning the jackpot you’ve been chasing for years. Maybe this is actually your sign…

Lucky numbers

Lottoland investigated and found the importance of lucky numbers amongst the public. They discovered that 74% of lotto participants believe some numbers bring better fortune than others. The most popular numbers were 7, 13 and 23 . Even though the number 13 is loved by so many, it is in fact the number which has been drawn the fewest amounts of time in UK Lotto history, throwing its luckiness into some doubt…

A lucky lottery winner from Maryland, cashed in a $25,000 lottery prize after betting the numbers on his younger brother's license plate.

The anonymous winner, who used the name "Big Fish" to share his story, won the prize after betting on  the "Pick 5" game. He placed eight 50-cent bets using the numbers on his brothers license plate: 2, 6, 6, 6, and 4

He told lottery officials that he "has no definite plans for his prize" at the moment, but he might pay bills, pay for car maintenance, or share some of the winnings with his five siblings.The retailer where "Big Fish" purchased his winning ticket, Liberty Wine & Spirits, also received a $250 bonus.

Big Fish is real life example that sometimes betting on your personal lucky numbers is the best method when betting on the lottery!

Leave it to the machine

When betting with Lottoland, at the top of each lottery page, you’ll find the main “ticket area”. It’s arranged in a grid just like a paper lottery ticket. Select your numbers by clicking the corresponding numbers inside the ticket area.

If you want to leave your chosen numbers to chance, just click the Quick+1 button on the top right of the ticket for a randomly generated Quick Pick. Beside that button is the +Rest button. This allows you to “all in” with a full betting slip of Quick Picks (e.g. six tickets for Millionaire or twelve for the Lotto).

Lottoland also allows you to place a special type of bet called a Combo Bet, also known as a system bet. If you click more than the standard amount of numbers you will automatically enable this feature. It’s slightly more expensive to play, but it allows you to add even more numbers to your ticket increasing your chances of winning exponentially!

Go random

Let’s face it, every lottery no mattery where in the world is completely random, so why not embrace the randomness and choose our lottery numbers the same way.

What’s the first number you think of? Write it down, and you’ve got your first number! Ask your partner/friends to think of a number, any number – there you go, another number for you to bet on. You can have fun with this!

We could talk about different random number methods for ages, but we’ll let you get creative instead.

This is actually one of our most advised methods to pick your next lottery numbers as it’s not too time consuming, plus it’s loads of fun – the most important factor.
