Winning the lottery

 How I Beat The Lottery

Winning the lottery is easy. I know you have

your doubts, but I guarantee after you read
this book, your view on playing the lottery will
change considerably. The aim of this book is
to increase your chances of winning the
lottery every time you play - with a twist.
(More on that later.) I know this because I've
been studying how lotteries work for several
years. From a young age I was always
fascinated with the lottery since, to me, it just
seemed like the greatest thing ever invented.
Pick 6 numbers and win millions of dollars.
How hard could that be? Well obviously as I
got older I realized it wasn't that simple, but
that didn't deter me one bit. When I was in
school, I discovered that I had a love for
numbers. I'm not sure why, but everywhere I
went, I was always counting things. The
windows in my school classroom (6), the
pillars in the shopping mall garage (84), and
even the number of stairs in my
Grandmother's old apartment building (182).
Why I kept counting things, I'll never know.
But as I would soon discover, it was preparing
me for the greatest number game of all time -
the lottery. In essence, the lottery is nothing
more than just that - a simple numbers game.
Pick 6 numbers out of 49, get them all right
and you win millions of dollars.

(I grew up in Canada and our National lotto

was the 6/49. Your lottery game may have
more or fewer numbers, but the principles in
this book will still apply.)

5
In was my Dad who first introduced me to the 6/49
lottery as I would watch him play a few tickets every
week.
He won the smaller prizes here and there, but it was
never the big one. I couldn't understand why it was so
hard. He had been playing for years and never won the
jackpot.
Surely he would have gotten the 6 numbers out of 49
by now? Ah the joys of being young. :-) When I got
older, it was my turn to tackle this number game
behemoth.
Right off the bat, I calculated the odds of winning the
6/49 lottery were 1 in 13,983,816. Not a very attractive
number, but I was certain there had to be a way to
reduce the odds considerably. I knew math had
patterns and formulas for making complex equations
simple, so surely the same thing could be applied to the
lottery. It was just a numbers game after all. So I
started by analyzing all the past winning numbers that
were drawn for the Canadian 6/49 since 1982 when it
was first launched. I looked at the numbers and tried to
find patterns between them anywhere I could.
It was incredibly tedious work, but I did manage to find
a few things that were consistent in the winning
numbers that were chosen each time. I wrote down my
findings and tried to devise a formula that could be
used to select the next 6 numbers for the upcoming
week's draw. Overall, it was a good strategy, but it had
one major problem: I had too many number
combinations.
I could never narrow it down to just 6. I would have
had to buy hundreds, if not thousands of tickets each
week to satisfy the results of the formula I came up
with.
Obviously this wasn't a practical solution. I tried to
refine my formula as best I could, to reduce the number
combinations any way possible, but I didn't have much
luck
By then I was starting to get really frustrated. I had
worked so hard on analyzing the previous winning
numbers that I felt I deserved a better shot at
winning the lottery than anybody else. Ah the
arrogance of youth. :-) Though my frustrations were
high,
I decided that I was going to keep going. I was not
going to give up. However, I did have to swallow my
pride and admit that I needed help. (Not an easy
thing for a young man to admit.) I figured that if I
really wanted to beat the lottery, I would have to use
every possible resource available to me. Luckily, this
was right around the time the Internet started
becoming more mainstream. (I didn't know it at the
time, but this was the critical moment that would set
me on my path to beating the lottery.)
The Internet proved to be a great resource for
people who wanted to increase their chances of
winning the lottery. I found there were other people
like me who just as obsessed as I was. I bought
books, tapes, DVDs, software, you name it. I studied
their strategies in great detail. I used them, modified
them, combined them, but no matter what I tried,
I was only winning a little bit here and there. It was
never consistent and I still hadn't won a major prize.
I started thinking the lottery really was unbeatable.
I didn't want to give up but I didn't know what else
to do as it seemed I had tried everything imaginable.
Was this it?
Had I reached the end of my journey?
Was all my hard work and determination for
nothing?
Did I just waste years of time and thousands of
dollars? It sure seemed that way

7
My frustration was at an all time high and I realized
that I needed something new. I needed something that
would make me look at the lottery from a different
angle. Then, like all success stories, I had a turning
point. You know how like in the movies the main
character goes through a struggle and then has a
"turning point" where things start to go his way? I.e.,
when Peter Parker gets bitten by the radioactive spider
and becomes Spider-Man! (Yes, I know I'm a geek,
ahem, moving on..) Well, my turning point happened not
long ago. It was in January of 2008 (my birthday
month), when my buddy Will sent me an email. He
knew I was a lottery buff and he thought I was crazy
with all the work I had be doing to try and "beat it" -
but regardless, he was still my friend and he wanted to
help me out. He sent me a link to a website that
featured a book that told you how to win the lottery
roughly 80% of the time. It was by a guy named Larry
Blair and I had never heard of him before. Now
normally, I wouldn't have given this book a second
glance as I had read so many other books on winning
the lottery, but this one was different. This guy was
doing the exact OPPOSITE of what everyone else was
doing.
You see, in the lottery world, you pick winning numbers
based on several things.

Things like:
• Hot and Cold numbers
• Predictors
• Wheeling Systems
• Cross comparing predictors with historical statistics •
Ball frequency of hits
• Patterns of hits
• Groupings of numbers

All calculated and monitored over time to achieve the

probability that number "x" will be chosen this week.
(I.e., complicated and not fun.
But this guy wasn't doing any of those things. I
couldn't believe it.
This guy was claiming that you could win 8 out of
10 games using his lotto system WITHOUT using
any of the methods above.
Honestly, I thought this guy was nothing but a scam.
For years I had been using the methods mentioned
above, thinking that since they were complex and
difficult that only the mathematically gifted could
understand them and put them to use.

Plus I thought that if they were complicated, they

had a higher chance of succeeding since it would be
accessible to fewer people. But no? This guy comes
out of nowhere and boldly claims you don't need any
of that.
To say I was curious was an understatement. I was
certain his book was a scam, but I just had to find
out what his lotto system was like.
I decided to take the plunge and buy his book. The
second I got it, I read it from cover to cover in one
sitting.

Once finished, I was stunned. Never before had I

seen such an easy system for picking winning
lottery numbers.
There were no complex formulas to understand or
mountains of historical data to go through to
compare and predict. It was just picking numbers.

That's it. It felt wrong in so many ways. All the

other systems I had used were based on methods
that I had learned over the years. But this system
didn't use any of them. I had come this far so I
decided I might as well try it.

9
His system was easy to use, but it wasn't working as
well as I thought it would. Again I was winning here
and there, but still nothing substantial. Something was
missing. As Morpheus said in the "The Matrix", it was
like a "splinter in my mind."

There was definitely something missing. And then it

happened. (Que dramatic music?) I had a breakthrough!
I had found the missing link! Can you guess what it
was? It was all the work I had previously done!

I was picking numbers based solely from Larry's

system without combining any of the strategies that I
learned from years past! DOH! I was such an idiot!
Why didn't I think of that before! So I started using
Larry's method for picking numbers, and then
appliedmy own strategies to those numbers to modify
them a bit. And that's when it all changed.

That's when I started winning the lottery A LOT. I

haven't won the main prize (yet), but I win almost
every game and I make more money out of the lottery
than I put in. I had turned the lottery into a secondary
income stream for myself! I had reached my goal!

Winning The Lottery - 3 Golden Rules

1. Take Action.

By far the most important thing about the lottery is

to actually play it. I know that sounds obvious, but it
needs to be said. Many people read books on topics
they'd like to learn more about, but then never take
action. With the lottery, you have to be in it to win
it.

2. Persistence.

I can bet you that over 80% of the people that read
this book will try playing the lottery once or twice
using these strategies and then give up. Don't be one
of these people. Winning the lottery is purely a game
of numbers. The more you play, the more you win.
You can't expect to win a big prize the first or
second time you play it. Give yourself a good smack
and be ready to play each week. Remember that
persistence pays well. Giving up pays nothing.

3. These are the basics.

These strategies serve only as the basics to

improving your chances at winning the lottery. The
real advantage is when you combine the methods
you learn here with Lotto Black Book System . That
was the turning point that allowed me to turn the
lottery into a secondary income stream for myself.
Since I can't reveal Larry's system myself (as it
would be illegal), I would strongly recommend you
invest in his book. It's cheap and well worth it

 Winning The Lottery - 3 Golden Rules
1. They only focus on the main prize

Most people play the lottery hoping to win the big

jackpot. They see the lottery as a way to become a
millionaire overnight and nothing else. This is the
wrong mentality.
The odds of winning the grand prize are extremely
remote. If you only focus on the main jackpot, you're
likely to get discouraged and be more tempted to stop
playing altogether. (Hence, losing your money and not
turning a profit.)
Instead, look at the lottery as a secondary income
stream for yourself. So long as you get more money
OUT of the lottery than you put IN, you are beating it.
Focus on winning the smaller prizes and that will put
more money into your pocket over time.

2. They don't reinvest their profits

When you win the smaller lottery prizes, what do you

do with that extra cash? I'd wager that most people
don't give it a second thought and spend it almost
immediately, most probably right at the convenience
store where they first bought their ticket.
A better strategy would be to reinvest your lotto
profits so that you ensure you can play a good number
of tickets every draw.
While the main prize is elusive, you still have a chance
to win it every time you play.

The more you play, the more likely you are to win. Just
think how upset you'd be if your lotto numbers came up
but you didn't play because you spent last week's
winnings on something else instead of a ticket? Doh!
3. They don't allocate a lottery allowance

Having a separate pool of money that is strictly

used for the lottery can benefit you in many ways.
First it ensures you don't spend more than you can
afford. If you put some cash aside solely for playing
the lottery, you know its money you can afford to
lose.

Second, it's easier to refill your "lottery allowance"

with your winnings and weekly contributions than it
is to try and find cash somewhere at the last minute.
Set aside a jar, box, or container and put all your
lotto cash inside it.
Then whenever a lotto draw is near, use only the
money from that allowance and nothing else.

4. They spend more than they can afford

Building upon reason #3, spending more money on

the lottery than you can afford is a big reason why
people lose more often than they win. From a purely
mathematical point of view, you are guaranteed to
win more money by playing fewer tickets frequently
as oppose to buying a bunch of tickets in one shot.
Always buy the maximum number of tickets you can
afford each week so that even if you lose, you can
still afford to play the same amount when the next
draw comes up.

This will vastly increase your chances of winning

since you're playing more often and not blowing a
big chunk of your dough all in one sitting

13
5. They pick numbers without a strategy

Finally, people lose at playing the lottery simply

because they pick the wrong numbers.

They pick numbers completely at random without any

kind of strategy because they think its all luck. Yes,
winning the lottery jackpot does have a lot to do with
luck, but winning the smaller prizes more often netting
you a profit can be greatly increased with the correct
number strategy.

Again, it's all probability. You can reduce the odds

considerably if you know the DO's and DO NOT's when
picking your numbers.

Together, the four points mentioned above combined

with the number picking strategies I'm about to reveal
in the next section will ensure you win more often than
you lose.

Now that we got that covered, let's pick some winning

numbers!
 How To Pick Numbers That Win

Odd and Even numbers: Always have a good

balance of odd and even numbers.
This means one of 3 combinations:

2 odd / 4 even
4 odd / 2 even
3 odd / 3 even

Never play 6 odd numbers or 6 even numbers as

they occur less than 3% of the time. High and Low
numbers:
Always have a good balance of high and low
numbers. In a 49 number lotto game, the low
numbers would be represented from 1 to 25 and the
high numbers would be represented from 26 to 49.

Winning numbers are usually spread out across the

entire number field, again with 3 combinations:

2 low / 4 high
4 low / 2 high
3 low / 3 high

Winning numbers fall into these patterns about 75%

of the time. Ensure your numbers add up to the right
sum When you pick your 6 numbers, add them up
and make sure the total is between 115 and 185 as
winning numbers that fall into this range occur
roughly 70% of the time.

15
Play all the numbers

If your lottery allowance can handle it, try playing as

many tickets necessary to play all the numbers. For
example, in a 49 number lottery game, that would
require 9 tickets. This way at least one of your
numbers is guaranteed to be picked.

Always include hot numbers

A hot number is a number that hasn't shown up in the

winning results for at least 5 games. For example, a
number that hasn't appeared in 5 games or less will
account for 55% of the winning numbers. Ten games or
less, accounts for 75% and 17 games or less, accounts
for 90%. Based on these factors, a number that hasn't
come up in awhile is "due" to come up soon. The longer
it hasn't come up the more likely it is to be included in
the winning numbers for the next draw.

Always include cold numbers

Never make your number selection basely solely on hot

numbers as you need to include 1 or 2 cold numbers as
well (i.e., numbers that have been in the results more
than once in the last 5 games.) Always make sure you
have a balance between hot and cold numbers, with
slightly more focus on the hot numbers.

Never pick 1,2,3,4,5,6

Believe it or not this combination is one of the most

played, yet in roughly 50+ years of lotteries from
around the world, this combination has NEVER come
up once. It is too far off balance from being spread out
across the number field.
It is very safe to assume that since this combination
is picked the most often (according to statistics), it
will never be a winning combination. Even if it did
come up you would have to split the grand prize
with so many other people, it wouldn't be worth it.

Never play the same numbers Many people do this

and is a really hard habit to break. People play the
same numbers because they think their numbers are
"due" to hit.
While at first this may seem like a good strategy, it
is a very bad one. The reason is because each 6
number combination has a chance of hitting once
every 134,459 years!

I know you probably have your own set of "lucky

numbers" but if you've already played them once, it's
time to move on to new ones as it is EXTREMELY
unlikely that they will drawn.

Never pick numbers based on birthdays This is a

very common tactic and is quite possibly one of the
worst things you can do.
First, birthday numbers will always be in the range
of 1 to 31 (days of the month) which means your
picks will only be contained in the lower number
range. We know this is very unlikely to happen as I
mentioned above that winning numbers are usually
spread across the entire number field - from low to
high. Second, suppose your birthday numbers do win,
you are more likely to share the grand prize with
many other people as they picked their numbers
from birthdays as well. Lottery companies know that
people play their birthdays and thus ensure that
their winning numbers fall across the entire number
range, preventing multiple grand prize winners each
draw

17
Use Wheeling Systems Say you're going over your
numbers and you want to play 7 numbers instead of 6.
You can do this by wheeling those numbers in that you
would play every possible combination that they can be
arranged in.

For example, let's say you wanted to play the numbers

6, 12, 18, 23, 27, 35, 49

You could play them all by purchasing 7 tickets with

the following combinations:

06-12-18-23-27-35
06-12-18-23-27-49
06-12-18-23-35-49
06-12-18-27-35-49
06-12-23-27-35-49
06-18-23-27-35-49
12-18-23-27-35-49

This would ensure that if any of your 7 numbers were

to hit, you would win no matter what combination they
were drawn in. You can do this for more numbers but
keep in mind the maximum amount of combinations
you can chose goes up exponentially.

For example to wheel 8 numbers would take 28 tickets.

To wheel 9 numbers would take 84 tickets and so on.

Play a balanced game Always make sure you pick

numbers that balance out. For example, consider the
odds of rolling a 2 or a 12 on a pair dice.

There is only one way to achieve these results. To roll a

2, each die must show a 1 and to roll a 12, each die
must show a 6.

Now think about the odds of rolling a 7 on a pair of

dice. You can achieve this 6 different ways: 6 and 1, 1
and 6, 5 and 2, 2 and 5, 4 and 3, 3 and 4
Which would you rather prefer? One result with only 1
way of reaching it, or one result with 6 different ways
of reaching it? Obviously when it comes to the lottery
you want the latter.
You want as many ways of reaching the same result
as possible to increase your odds.
This is why you want your numbers to be spread out
across the entire number field.

Never pick 6 consecutive numbers

We already mentioned that selecting 1,2,3,4,5,6

is a very bad choice, but that goes for any

combination of 6 consecutive numbers.

For example you would never want to pick something

like: 10,11,12,13,14,15 or 44,45,46,47,48,49 etc

Number combinations such as these are surely never

to become winners. Play in groups Obviously the more
tickets you purchase the greater your odds of winning.
Unfortunately the number of tickets you purchase will
be limited by how much money you have in your
lottery allowance.
A great way to get around this is to play in groups.
Usually you want to save opportunities like this when
the jackpot gets really big as the divided winnings will
be more per person.
Not to mention it will be a lot easier to convince
someone to "chip in" if the jackpot is a really big one.
Avoid playing in 1 number group Again, coming back
to our balanced game strategy, never pick numbers
that belong to one group.

For example picking the numbers: 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27
will almost certainly result in a loss

19
Avoid picking numbers that form a pattern
This is a method people use to pick their numbers because
they think it's completely random, but again it is highly
inadvisable.

Pattern picking simply means that someone picks their

numbers so that they form some sort of "pattern" on the
ticket.

For example they will colour in numbers so that they form a

circle, square, diamond, happy face or even spell out a word.

This may seem fun or humorous, but rest assured that this is
not the way to play the lottery to win. Avoid picking
numbers with the same last digit
While this strategy does include numbers spread out across
the entire number field, it is rarely a tactic that wins.

For example, you should never pick numbers like:

1, 7, 17, 27, 37, 47 as all but one number ends with a 7.

Ensure your numbers are spread out, but be certain they

don't all end with the same last digit.
Avoid picking number multiples
Again, these are numbers that are spread out, but are too
obvious a pattern to be a winning combination.

For example the numbers:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 are all numbers that are multiples of 6
and are extremely unlikely to win

Don't play quick picks by the computer Statistics show that

more lottery winners have won the main jackpot by picking
their own numbers, not by relying on the quick pick that the
computer chose for them. While it's tempting to do so if
you're in a hurry, it's always more advantageous to pick your
own numbers based on strategy
