Everyone has a favorite lottery winning number idea.
For some it might be playing the same numbers year in year out.
For others it could be using a family birthday or the ages of relatives in the numbers.
Others take the easy way out and choose diagonal or straight lines on their tickets.
There's another method that some people use - which at first glance looks although it should be successful.
It's based on practical and logical methodology, and should be a resounding success.
So why doesn't it work? I'll tell you so you can avoid any system which uses this method, and save your hard-earned money.
It operates this way...
many official lottery sites for major games have a list of the most drawn numbers.
These are numbers which have come up time and time again.
So in theory it makes sense to get these most popular numbers and play them every game.
Unfortunately, number patterns  don't work that way.
There's always a few rogue numbers that mess the whole system up.
One of the problems is that these popular numbers are drawn from over many hundreds or thousands of games, and represent an averaging.
Because these numbers come from different games at different times, the chance of them all coming together in a neat sequence in one game is highly unlikely.
This system fails another way as well.
It tries to isolate a small amount of lottery number sequences, and the chance of that happening - along with the random input of frequent numbers - makes the system next to useless.
Proof that this doesn't work can be seen on any lottery forum.
No one has managed to select the top lottery winning numbers in isolation using this method, despite thousands of players around the world working on schemes like this everyday.
Keep your hand on your wallet and avoid this method.
There's better systems out there.
