Lotto playing system 7. Lotto playing systems

Everything about lottery systems with descriptions and examples. Is it worth using lottery systems, what advantages do they provide? Using a special program you can create your own lottery system.

In fact, the lottery system is not a way of choosing winning numbers, but a strategy by which one can increase the chances of winning.

All number lotteries are essentially risk-based games. Naturally, the main role both in the case when lottery machines are used to select a winning combination, and when another method is used, is pure chance (well, of course, if we mean that the lottery organizer is honest - sometimes it happens the other way around). Therefore, naturally, you can win without any system. As practice shows, sometimes huge jackpots are won by people who bought a ticket by chance, and even for the first time in their life. You can check out stories of the biggest lottery wins .

So, why is playing the lottery with a lottery system better than without it? As you can read in the article the probability of winning in lotteries, to win the lottery using the 5 out of 36 formula you need to fill out 376 thousand 992 combinations. For lotteries using the 6 out of 49 formula, the number of options will already be 13 million 983 thousand 816. It is clear that it is almost impossible for one player, or even a group of players, to buy out the entire circulation of tickets. (However, there is a story that back in Soviet times, a group of enterprising citizens once bought all the tickets of a lottery held at the stadium during a football match. And in the end they remained in the black, considering that they received a car, several televisions, refrigerators and other valuable prizes But, naturally, in this case we are talking about a local lottery, where the total number of tickets did not exceed ten thousand).

Playing according to the lottery system allows you to cover a certain number of combinations made up of the numbers you choose. Of course, the more numbers the system is built on, the greater the chance of winning. Plus, in addition to the main prize, the total winnings will increase due to winnings from other categories. Obviously, the systems can be used in any numerical lotteries - both in standard formulas 5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, and so on, and in lotteries like Euromillions or Megamillions, where there are additional balls. In this case, in addition to the combinations of the main game numbers, there are additional ones.

Description of complete and incomplete lottery systems

Consider the following example:

The lottery is played according to the formula 6 out of 45. Let's assume that you have chosen 7 numbers. Let it be numbers 10,11,12,13,14,15,16 . Of these, you can make seven combinations:

That is, if you choose any numbers, then simply substitute them into such a table. For example, 8, 16, 22, 33, 37, 45, 46. Then the combination table will look like this:

It is clear that if we guess 6 numbers, then in addition to the jackpot, the total amount will include six more wins for five numbers guessed, six for 4 guessed numbers. That is, if you are lucky, six out of seven tickets will be winning.

As you can see, seven combinations were created for seven numbers. This is the so-called complete lottery system. It contains any possible combination of seven numbers. And, if you are lucky, such a lottery system will provide maximum benefits. But, naturally, the cost of purchasing lottery tickets also increases.

Exist and incomplete (reduced) lottery systems. It also provides the opportunity for additional winnings in lower categories. That is, for a lottery using the 6 out of 45 formula, we are talking about guessing 5, 4 and 3 numbers out of 6. They are an economical solution when playing using systems. As in the previous example, we will select 7 numbers - 10,11,12,13,14,15,16 . However, we will now choose only 5 combinations:

It is clear that there are many variations of incomplete lottery systems.

We will separately describe the systems with constant (so-called hard) numbers. In fact, we simply choose 2 or 3 constant numbers, and in each combination we use them along with any other numbers. For example, we want to use the numbers 10,11,12. Then we will make the following bet:

Using the program on our website, which We created for your convenience, you can create schemes for almost any lottery.

Also, on some sites that allow you to purchase lottery tickets online - for example tipp24.es and tipp24ru.com, as well as on the Gosloto website, you can play using systems in automatic mode. About intermediary companies that allow Russians to play foreign lotteries, read the article online lotteries.

Magic squares

The original and even somewhat exotic system of playing lotteries consists of using so-called magic squares. For example, let's take magic squares on a 6x6 field. This square is suitable for the lottery according to the formula 6 out of 36. Essentially, the method of using magic squares is based on the same principle as the game according to the normal distribution of amounts, described in the article lottery strategies.

So, a magic square of the nth order is a table of size n * n, in which the numbers 1 to n 2 are written so that if you add the numbers along the columns, rows, and diagonals, the sum will be the same.

For example, a 3rd order square:

As you can see, all amounts here are equal to 15.

And here is a 6th order square:

The formula for calculating this amount looks like this:

For a magic square of the 6th order, the sum (S) is equal to 111. In the above square, all sums are also equal to 111. The sum of all numbers of the square is 666. It is calculated by the formula:

Magic squares became famous in ancient times. And they were often used, including for religious purposes. For example, they can be seen on the walls of the world famous Temple of the Holy Family (Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia) in Barcelona. The architect Atonio Gaudi used squares, all of which add up to 33 (He meant the age of Christ).

It is believed that, for example, there are several million magic squares of the 6th order.

How to create a lottery system based on magic squares?

If we take any column of a square, turn it over so that it becomes a row and exclude any number from it, we get a system of m = n +1 options with the sums of numbers in each option being within the following limits:

those.

Inequality (4) was obtained by assuming that the rotated column contained both the number 36 and one. If we construct the inequality of the sums of numbers Σ in game options with a confidence probability β based on the available statistical data: mathematical expectation M (X) = 92.885 and standard deviation σ (X) = 23.331 after the lottery draw according to the formula 5 out of 36 (taken from the real lottery draw ), it turns out that the combinations of our system correspond to the statistical model:

Where

With ε = σ (X), Φ (1) = 0.84, and β = 0.68 we obtain:

We applied formulas No. 5 and 7, taking into account the central limit theorem, according to which for Σ will correspond to normal distribution .

As a result, we have a lottery system for 5 out of 35 (the number 36, alas, does not participate) numbers, which provides 7 combinations. The system will not work if the number 36 is rolled out or all 5 numbers fall on different lines of the square

As an example, let's take a 6th order magic square.

These are the combinations we got:

It is logical to assume that it is not possible to play the lottery using a certain system. This fact is easy to explain. The lottery, as one of the games of chance, amazes with its quantity and variety. It’s not just that every year, almost every month, a new lottery is registered. Lotteries appear like mushrooms after rain. In such a situation, we can confidently say that there is no unambiguous system for playing the lottery now, and it is not expected in the future. Everything is decided by the will of the player and His Majesty Chance.

Probability theory as the basis of an incomplete system

When playing the lottery, you must observe the frequency. To be among the lucky ones, you need to buy a lottery ticket regularly. In playing the lottery, chance plays a big role, which underlies the theory of probability. Once you start playing the lottery, you constantly monitor the draws and analyze them. You can easily conclude that winnings most often do not obey the laws, which is not denied by the incomplete lottery system.

The chances of winning with a systematic approach increase significantly. Of course, there have been cases when a person, having bought one ticket, wins a good cash prize. But this is an exception to the rule, a tempting case that attracts more and more new players to play the lottery. When you buy several tickets and play often, you increase your chances of winning.

The principle of playing the lottery according to the system

Experts and organizers of various lotteries, relying on the random principle, calculated that to win six numbers you need to buy and fill almost 8 million tickets. We understand your smile. The oligarch will not dare to make such dubious expenses.

Basic rule of the system:

Having purchased a small number of tickets, make the maximum number of combinations using different groups of numbers,

Always use different combinations, do not get hung up on the standard scheme, this increases your chances of significant winnings.

Playing the lottery correctly using the system

When you have decided to buy several tickets, tune in to the game. Smile. A good mood will help you tune in to the excitement and expectation of winning. It is known that the anticipation of a holiday often gives more joy than the holiday itself.

Before you start crossing out numbers, do a simple systems analysis.

Scheme 7 – 7 (used in the “6 out of 49” and “6 out of 45” lotteries). What does it mean? Various combinations are made, numbers are used in ascending order, from one to seven.

Combination one - 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6

Combination two - 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination three - 1; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination four - 1; 2; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination five - 1; 2; 3; 5; 6; 7

Combination six - 1; 2; 3; 4; 6; 7

Combination seven - 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 7

Let’s give an example to make it clearer to you what the system means:

You have chosen the seemingly winning numbers: 45, 40, 37, 33, 21, 11, 4. Next, you act according to the system and make logical combinations, namely:

Combination one - 45; 40; 37; 33; 21; eleven

Combination two - 40; 37; 33; 21; eleven; 4

Combination three - 45; 37; 33; 21; eleven; 4

Combination four - 45; 40; 33; 21; eleven; 4

Combination five - 45; 40; 37; 21; eleven; 4

Combination six - 45; 40; 37; 33; eleven; 4

Combination seven - 45; 40; 37; 33; 21; 4

By showing attention and diligence when studying, you will receive a wonderful result. After a simple analysis, you will understand that each combination involves six ticket numbers out of the selected seven numbers. It’s simple, when you guess six different numbers, then from two to five tickets win and become prize tickets, and the winnings increase accordingly. But that is not all! Good news! You become the owner of the winnings from the five drawn numbers. The developers and designers of this scheme call it complete system.

Calculating all the options, experts lottery games, indicated almost all options from the selected seven lottery ticket numbers.

Any game strives for a simplified scheme. Designed for your convenience incomplete lottery systems. They are more convenient and cheaper for the player.

For example, seven numbers are used in five combinations:

Combination one - 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination two - 1; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination three - 1; 2; 4; 5; 6; 7

Combination four - 1; 2; 3; 5; 6; 7

Combination five - 1; 2; 3; 4; 6; 7

Having followed the logical chain, you will notice that using fewer combinations, you indicate more numbers. The chances of winning six numbers are not 100 percent for you, but you will definitely win for four numbers. Just great. Agree, it makes sense to spend time studying the system.

Like any self-respecting player, you know your lucky numbers in the game. Be sure to use them. Such system is called constant. This means that each combination uses solid patterns.

For example, let's take seven numbers and make four options, the constants (the same numbers) will look like this:

Combination one - 1; 2; 3 ; 4; 5; 6

Combination two - 1; 2; 3 ; 4; 5; 7

Combination three - 1; 2; 3 ; 4; 6; 7

Combination four - 1; 2; 3 ; 5; 6; 7

You are thoughtful and persistent, ready to figure out any scheme. Your winnings will be well-deserved and will not take long to arrive.

Hello!

My name is Ivan Melnikov! I am a graduate of the National Technical University “KhPI”, Faculty of Engineering and Physics, specialty “Applied Mathematics”, a happy family man and just a fan of games of chance. Since childhood, I have been interested in lotteries. I have always wondered by what laws certain balls fall out. Since I was 10 years old, I have been recording lottery results and then analyzing the data.

Sincerely,

Ivan Melnikov.

1. Mathematical odds of winning

   • Simple calculation with factorials

The most common lotteries in the world are games of luck such as “5 out of 36” and “6 out of 45”. Let's calculate the chance of winning the lottery using probability theory.

An example of calculating the possibility of receiving a jackpot in the “5 out of 36” lottery:

It is necessary to divide the number of free cells by the number of possible combinations. That is, the first digit can be selected from 36, the second from 35, the third from 34, and so on.

Therefore, here is the formula:

Number of possible combinations in a “5 out of 36” lottery = (36*35*34*33*32) / (1*2*3*4*5) = 376,992

The chance of winning is 1 in almost 400,000.

Let's do the same for a lottery like 6 in 45.

Number of possible combinations = “6 out of 45” = (45*44*43*42*41*40) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 9,774,072.

Accordingly, the chance of winning is almost 1 in 10 million.

• A little about probability theory

According to a long-known theory, each ball in each subsequent search has an absolutely equal chance of falling out compared to the others.

But not everything is so simple, even according to probability theory. Let's take a closer look at the example of tossing a coin. The first time we got heads, then the next time the probability of getting tails is much higher. If heads come up again, then next time we expect tails with even greater probability.

With the balls coming out of the lottery machines, it's about the same story, but a little more complicated and with a more significant number of variables. If one ball is drawn 3 times and the other is drawn 10 times, then the probability of the first ball being drawn will be higher than that of the second. It is worth noting that this law is diligently violated by the organizers of some lotteries, which change lottery machines from time to time. A new sequence appears in each new lottery machine.

Some organizers also use a separate lottery machine for each ball. Thus, it is necessary to calculate the probability of each ball falling out in each individual lottery machine. On the one hand, this makes the task a little easier, on the other hand, it complicates it.

But this is just a theory of probability, which, as it turns out, doesn’t really work. Let's see what secrets there are, based on dry science and statistical data accumulated over decades.

1. Why doesn't probability theory work?

   • Less than ideal conditions

The first thing worth talking about is the calibration of lottery machines. None of the lottery machines are perfectly calibrated.

The second caveat is that the diameters of lottery balls are also not the same. Even differences of the slightest fraction of millimeters play a role in the frequency of a particular ball falling out.

The third detail is the different weight of the balls. Again, the difference may not seem significant at all, but it also affects the statistics, and significantly.

• Sum of winning numbers

If we look at the statistics of winning numbers in a “6 out of 45” lottery, we will notice an interesting fact: the sum of the numbers that players bet on ranges between 126 and 167.

The sum of the winning lottery numbers for “5 out of 36” is a slightly different story. Here the winning numbers add up to 83-106.

• Even or odd?

What numbers do you think are most often found on winning tickets? Even? Odd? I can tell you with complete confidence that in the “6 out of 45” lotteries these numbers are equally divided.

But what about “5 out of 36”? After all, you need to choose only 5 balls; there cannot be an equal number of even and odd balls. So here it is. Having analyzed the results of lotteries of this type over the last four decades, I can say that slightly, but still more often, odd numbers appear in winning combinations. Especially those that contain the number 6 or 9. For example, 19, 29, 39, 69 and so on.

• Popular groups of numbers

For a lottery of the “6 to 45” type, we conditionally divide the numbers into 2 groups - from 1 to 22 and from 23 to 45. It should be noted that in winning tickets the ratio of numbers belonging to the group is 2 to 4. That is, either the ticket will contain 2 numbers from the group from 1 to 22 and 4 numbers from the group from 23 to 45 or vice versa (4 numbers from the first group and 2 from the second).

I came to a similar conclusion when analyzing the statistics of lotteries like “5 out of 36”. Only in this case the groups are split up a little differently. Let's designate the first group that includes the numbers from 1 to 17, and the second the one that contains the remaining numbers from 18 to 35. The ratio of numbers from the first group to the second in winning combinations in 48% of cases is 3 to 2, and in 52 % of cases – on the contrary, 2 to 3.

• Is it worth betting on numbers from past draws?

It has been proven that in 86% of cases, a new drawing repeats a number that has already appeared in previous drawings. Therefore, you just need to follow the draws of the lottery you are interested in.

• Consecutive numbers. To choose or not to choose?

The chance that 3 consecutive numbers will appear at once is very low, less than 0.09%. And if you want to bet on 5 or 6 consecutive numbers at once, there is practically no chance. Therefore, choose different numbers.

• Numbers with a single step: win or lose?

You should not bet on numbers that appear in the same sequence. For example, you definitely don’t need to choose step 2 and place a bet with this step. 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 are definitely a losing combination.

• More than one ticket: yes or no?

It’s better to play once every 10 weeks with 10 tickets than once a week with one. And also play in groups. You can win a big cash prize and split it between several people.

1. World lottery statistics

   • Mega millions

One of the most popular lotteries in the world was carried out according to the following principle: you need to choose 5 numbers out of 56, as well as 1 out of 46 for the so-called golden ball.

For 5 matched balls and 1 correctly named golden ball, the lucky winner receives the jackpot.

The remaining dependencies are shown in the table:

Statistics of dropped regular balls for the entire duration of the above lottery draws.

Statistics of golden balls drawn throughout the Mega Millions drawings.

The most frequently drawn combinations in the lottery are shown in the table below:

• Powerball lottery where more than a dozen lucky people have managed to hit the jackpot. You must select 7 main game numbers and two Powerballs.

1. Winners' stories

   • Lucky compatriots

Evgeny Sidorov from Moscow received 35 million in 2009, before that Nadezhda Mekhametzyanova from Ufa hit the jackpot of 30 million. “Russian Lotto” sent another 29.5 million to Omsk to the winner, who did not want to identify himself. In general, winning jackpots is a good habit of Russian people

• 390 million US dollars in one hand

In the lottery we already talked about, Mega Millions, a lucky winner who wished to remain anonymous won $390 million. And this is far from a rare case. In the same lottery in 2011, two people managed to hit the jackpot, which at that time consisted of an amount of 380 million. The cash prize was divided into two parts and awarded to people who guessed the winning numbers.

A pensioner from South Carolina decided to participate in the Powerball lottery and won 260 million, which he decided to spend on the education of his children, and also bought a house, several cars for the family, and then went traveling.

1. conclusions

So, here is a summary of the most effective rules, following which you are sure to win:

1. The sum of all the numbers you bet on on a lottery ticket must be calculated using the following formula:

Amount = ((1 + n)/2)*z + 2 +/- 12%

n – maximum bet number, for example, 36 in a “5 out of 36” lottery

z – the number of balls you bet on, for example 5 for the “5 out of 36” lottery

That is, for “5 out of 36” the amount will be like this:

((1+36)/2)*5 + 2 +/-12% = 18,5*5+2 +/-12% = 94,5 +/-12%

In this case, from 94.5 + 12% to 94.5 – 12%, that is, from 83 to 106.

1. Bet equally on even and odd numbers.
2. Divide all the numbers into two large groups in half. The ratio of the number of numbers on a winning ticket is 1 to 2 or 2 to 1.
3. Follow the statistics and bet on the numbers that came out in previous draws.
4. Don't bet on numbers with one step.
5. It’s better to play less often, but buy several tickets at once, and also get together with friends and relatives.

In general, be brave! Follow my rules, place bets, analyze statistics and win!

Today we will talk about how to calculate or guess 100 percent winning lottery number. We will also consider methods and technologies for calculating winning number combinations in lotteries, allowing you to be guaranteed to win

It must be admitted that intuitive gaming systems have helped some lucky players win the lottery more than once. But most of those who prefer to play according to the system still choose strict calculation. Before going for lottery tickets, they study in detail the history of the draws, analyze the combinations that came out, and build mathematical systems for playing the lottery.

Pythagoras and other great minds of antiquity tried to calculate the probability of winning the lottery. Alan Kriegman devoted many scientific works to this topic, trying to calculate the chances of an individual player winning the Keno lottery. In his opinion, this chance directly depends on the number of bets made by the player; in other words, the more lottery tickets he fills, the higher the probability of winning.

This theory was confirmed in practice by another mathematician, Stefan Mendel, in 1992. He helped a syndicate of 2.5 thousand people hit the jackpot in the Virginia State Lottery. According to the scientist’s calculations, in the lottery, which was drawn according to the “6 out of 44” scheme, only 7,059,052 non-repeating number combinations were obtained. If you mark them all on the tickets, you will definitely win. True, you will have to spend money on tickets - $1 each, total: a little more than $7 million.

The syndicate participants simply waited until the game's jackpot significantly exceeded the planned expenses, then they began to play the lottery. Several thousand players began to buy lottery tickets in an organized manner at points of sale and in online stores. It took 72 hours, but the game was worth the candle! Fans of mathematical calculations managed to win more than 27 million dollars in the lottery, about 10 thousand for each player.

Another popular mathematical system for playing the lottery is frequency analysis. This method is based on the fact that in each game there are “hot” (dropped most often) and “cold” (dropped least often) numbers. They are calculated by analyzing the results of previous games. Afterwards, the player, depending on his own preferences, bets either on “hot” or “cold”, or combines. There are cases in the history of lotteries when such a system helped to win the lottery big. For example, Janey Callus from Texas used frequency analysis to play a local lottery and won a $21.8 million jackpot.

Another option for using mathematics to play the lottery: complete (“drum”) and incomplete systems. The reel system of the game comes down to using all possible combinations of a limited range of numbers. For example, if you need to guess 6 numbers, take at least 7 of any numbers found in the lottery and make 7 combinations from them. It turns out the following:

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

2. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7

3. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

4. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

5. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

6. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

7. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

The numbers in the combinations are repeated, as if “spinning in a drum,” which is why the game system received the corresponding name. It is called complete because all existing combinations of selected numbers are used. You can guess that playing the lottery using such a system is quite expensive, since you need to purchase a lot of tickets. To cut costs, players created an incomplete system.
. The incomplete lottery system cuts off some combination options at the player's discretion. For example, if you need to guess the same 6 numbers, according to the incomplete system, only 5 combinations of 7 numbers are made:

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

2. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

3. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7

4. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

5. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Fans of these game schemes add that the systems still do not guarantee a 100% win, but third- and fourth-order prizes help you win often.
Pros and cons of mathematics in lotteries

Mathematical systems for playing the lottery have both supporters and opponents. Their use is supported by some examples of large winnings in the history of lotteries and the fact that playing according to the system increases the player’s involvement in the process, forcing him to regularly place bets, and this often leads to winnings.
A number of scientists are against mathematical systems for playing the lottery. They generally argue that predicting a lottery is not a rewarding task and it is impossible to calculate the probability of winning the lottery. Thus, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Petr Zaderey is sure: the numbers of balls that fall out on the lottery machine are random variables that cannot be analyzed mathematically. Another mathematician, Pavel Lurie, claims that the probability of winning the lottery is determined randomly and the chances of each player are absolutely equal.

However, we should not forget that even scientists sometimes make mistakes, and many great discoveries were not taken seriously at first. Perhaps you will be the one to invent your own system for calculating the probability of winning the lottery. The main thing is to play and not give up if you don’t hit the jackpot the first time. And how to play the lottery, using mathematical systems or one’s own intuition, is up to everyone to decide for themselves.

It turns out that success and luck have a simple mathematical formula. It was developed by Richard Weissman, a professor at the University of Hertfordshire (UK). Moreover, he not only compiled an abstract formula for success, but was also able to back it up with practical evidence.

"The Luck Factor"

This is the name of the scientific work published by Weissman. For many years he searched for the answer to the eternal question: why do some people manage to attract good luck, while others remain losers all their lives? The professor conducted a colossal study, the results of which were supported by a number of experiments.

At the initial stage of the project (in 1994), the scientist advertised in the local newspaper, in which he invited volunteers aged 18 to 84 years old, who considered themselves lucky and unlucky, to cooperate. In total there were about 400 people, approximately equally divided between both. For 10 years, they must undergo interviews, keep diaries, fill out various questionnaires, answer IQ tests, and participate in experiments.

For example, once the subjects were given the same issue of a newspaper in which they had to count all the photographs. Those who consider themselves lucky completed the task in a couple of minutes, while the unlucky ones needed much more time. The secret of the experiment was that already on the second page of the publication there was a large announcement: “This newspaper contains 43 photographs.” Since it itself was not accompanied by a photo, the losers did not even pay attention to it and painstakingly continued to complete the task assigned to them. And the “lucky ones” immediately found the clue.

“Lucky people look at the world with their eyes wide open, they don’t miss happy accidents. And the unlucky ones are usually immersed in their worries and do not notice anything “extra,” Professor Weissman explained in his scientific article.

In addition, lucky people are sociable; they are not afraid of changing places and making new acquaintances, which often turn out to be useful to them later. People who consider themselves unlucky, on the contrary, try to close themselves off from the outside world and live within the existing framework.

For this, the scientist has developed a special self-development technique that helps attract good luck. Four simple rules must be followed:

· Pay attention to everything that happens around you, learn to notice the signs of fate and take advantage of a happy occasion.

· Develop intuition, trust the “inner voice”.

· Think about the good: drive away bad thoughts and tune in to the positive.

· Learn to enjoy life in any, even the most difficult, situations.

The ability to look for positive moments even in unpleasant situations is the key to success. Psychologists have long discovered that some people, in difficult times, are able not to concentrate on troubles, but to think that things could have been worse. This feature of the psyche helps to “soften the blow” and feel lucky. This was confirmed by Professor Weissman’s “lucky” and “unlucky” people. They would have assessed the situation differently if they had been held hostage during a bank robbery and had been shot in the arm. The first considered it to be luck, since they could have died altogether. The second decided that this was a big failure, since there might not have been any injury at all.

British studies have proven that “luck”, “fortune”, “success” are subjective concepts. Any individual himself determines who he is: lucky or unlucky. Science has confirmed that a lot depends on a person’s mood and his perception of the surrounding reality.

A striking example is 54-year-old John Lin from the UK. He is called the most unlucky resident of the country. During his life, he managed to get into 20 accidents. When he was very young, John was seriously injured when he fell out of his carriage, then fell off his horse and was hit by a car. As a teenager, he suffered fractures from falling from a tree. And when he was returning from the hospital, where he was treated after this fall, his bus got into an accident and the guy again ended up in a hospital bed. As an adult, Lin was involved in accidents three more times. In addition, he is constantly haunted by natural disasters: for example, a rockfall or lightning, which struck him twice, although the chance of even one lightning strike on a person, according to the US National Weather Service, is only 1 in 600,000.

However, one can approach this list of troubles in different ways. After all, in each of the accidents, any other person could have simply died, but John Lin always survived. So maybe this is not bad luck, but, on the contrary, luck? “I can’t explain why all this is happening to me,” John shared with reporters. “But every time I’m glad I’m alive.”

This is exactly how Richard Weissman advises to perceive any failures. The main thing is to be positive. Thus, if, having decided to try his luck and buy lottery tickets, a person thinks that he will never be lucky, then luck will not smile on him. And if you believe in victory and continue to play the lottery regularly, even after several unsuccessful draws, you will definitely win a million!

The so-called intuitive strategies, that is, playing according to a system based on one’s own “sixth sense,” are very popular among experienced players. For example, a person is sure that his lucky number is 3. In this case, when filling out lottery tickets, you should mark all the derivatives of this number: 3, 9, 18, 24, etc. Or numbers in which three appears: 13, 23, 33, 53 and so on. We wrote about how to find your lucky number in previous materials.

Another way to increase your probability of winning is to select numbers using a specific step. For example, in a combination of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, the step will be 7. The step can again be the player’s lucky number or any other number.

Intuitive strategies include the so-called “zigzag of luck.” If you play according to this system, then you need to mark the numbers in such a way that they form a zigzag or other “lucky figure”. Some, for example, cross out all the numbers vertically, some cross them, and others generally in the form of certain letters of the alphabet.

Perhaps the main advantage of playing the system is its consistency. That is, the player systematically works out various combinations, looking for the key to his luck. If you play the system regularly, the probability of winning will most likely increase significantly.

The pendulum of luck, or how to win a million in the lottery Anyone can win a million; all you need for this is luck, luck and a lucky lottery ticket. However, some experienced players do not want to wait long for luck to knock on their door, preferring to lure it in as quickly as possible.

For this, everyone has their own secrets of success. One of them is the use of a pendulum of luck.

The principle of the pendulum has excited the minds of people since ancient times; it was credited with mystical powers, the ability to predict the future and find answers to the most difficult questions. Just remember the popular sessions of collective magic, when with the help of a homemade pendulum, girls told fortunes about their betrothed or asked for help in making important decisions.
It turns out that the pendulum can also be useful to lottery lovers in their hunt for winnings. Using a pendulum is one of the types of dowsing. One of its first manifestations in the history of mankind was the so-called dowsing, when a priest or prophet, with the help of a vine, found a source of water hidden underground.

Similarly, when playing the lottery, the pendulum helps a person find an equally important source of wealth, that is. Scientists still have not agreed on what dowsing is. Some say that the vine or pendulum is made to move by the person himself, or rather by his involuntary movements and vibrations controlled by the subconscious (ideomotor reaction).

In any case, for some this practice helps to find hidden objects, for others. Using a pendulum to play the lottery is very simple.

To do this, you will need a strong thread or a thin chain about 40 centimeters long (a person chooses the length that is convenient for him in the process) and a small weight, the weight of which does not exceed 40 grams. Fans of this method advise using a wedding ring (without any inserts) or a pendant made of natural stone (for example, amber or amethyst). It is important that the shape of the load is symmetrical.

Let us make a reservation that the pendulum can only be used to predict winnings. To do this, you need to hang the load on a thread, take the resulting pendulum in your right hand and hold it suspended.

Place a lottery ticket or a plate with the numbers used in the selected lottery on the table (for example, if in a lottery you need to guess 5 numbers out of 36, then the table should have 36 numbers). The numbers should be written quite large so that the player can hold the pendulum over each of them and determine the nature of its movements. So, the table (or lottery ticket) is placed on the table, you need to place a pendulum over each number and wait until it starts to swing.

It is generally accepted that if the weight begins to swing clockwise, this means a positive answer, that is, there is a high probability that a ball with this number will appear in the next lottery draw. If the pendulum moves counterclockwise over a number, then the probability of it falling out is very low.

Thus, you need to hold the pendulum over each number and select those over which it rotated clockwise. If he points to more numbers than you need to guess in the lottery, you can make an expanded bet or mark all the numbers selected by the pendulum in them. Then wait until the lottery draw takes place and check if you are lucky enough to win a million.

It is important to remember that in order to use a pendulum to select lucky numbers to fill out a lottery ticket, you must choose a secluded place where no one can interfere with the upcoming magical session. You also need to be extremely focused on the desire to win the lottery, believe in victory and not give up if you didn’t hit the jackpot the first time.

And the surest way to increase the likelihood of winning the lottery is to buy as many as possible, one of them will definitely be a winner!

An important branch of mathematics, which is also used in other exact sciences, is called combinatorics. Most people do not even have a basic understanding of this science. Although they are very easy to understand. To do this, it is enough to have arithmetic counting skills and be familiar with the basic four mathematical operations.
Most likely, the use of combinatorics in everyday life will not be necessary, although in some areas of activity it can be very useful.

The method of arranging a number of different objects in the form of a sequence is called permutation. It looks like this - this will be the first, this will be the third, etc.
The role of an object can be played by absolutely any objects - signs, figures, numbers, things, etc. The easiest way to explain the principle of permutation is using simple integers.
A set of numbers from 5 to 8 can be represented as the following permutations - 5678 or 5876, etc. It turns out that any four digits can be arranged in 24 ways. Therefore, the more numbers there are in a set, the wider the number of ways to arrange them.
Two numbers have only two ways of arrangement: 36 and 63.
Three numbers have six ways of arrangement.

To determine the number of options, place 5 numbers, you need to try and in the end you will get 120 options.
However, there is a simpler option for determining the number of different arrangements of numbers in any number set.
You just need to multiply all the numbers from 1 to the number of objects in the set of numbers.
This rule can be easily confirmed with the following example. A set of one number has one set of ways. A set of two numbers has two sets (2*1=2). A set of three numbers has 6 possible sets and so on -
This mathematical operation is called factorial, and its symbol is an exclamation point! Pronounced "factorial of three" or "three factorial".
Thus we obtain the desired formula, which follows from the formulation of the imperial and determines its main property.

For example, a certain number of balls – n – take part in a lottery draw. After the lottery, only k numbers will appear in the draw, which will become lucky. Therefore, the number of options for dropping balls is the number of combinations of these two quantities. By substituting the numbers of different runs and the number of balls involved in them into the formula (n, k), we get the exact number of combinations.

Using these simple calculations, you can get numbers that accurately indicate the chance of winning the jackpot when purchasing one ticket. For "SuperLoto" 1 chance in 13,983,816 = 0.0000000715, and for "MEGALOT" 1 chance in 52,457,860 = 0.0000000191. Values ​​of C(k, n) for k = 1:20. Whether this is a lot or a little, judge for yourself, but keep in mind that this is when purchasing a single ticket.

You can also consider the reality of guessing a single partial combination. What is the probability of guessing M numbers, taking into account filling in N fields. The circulation contains C(20, M). therefore, the probability of getting the desired combination is C(20, M) / C(80, M). If N cells are filled in the set, then there will be C(N, M) options consisting of M digits. Therefore, the possibility that one of the balls will fall out is equal to the calculation amount, C(N, M) C(20, M) / C(80, M). For example:9 out of 10

(N, M) С(T, M) / С(B, M)
B – number of balls with numbers used in the lottery
T – the number of balls that are drawn during the draw
N – number of cells filled by the player
M is the number of lucky balls for which the calculation is performed.

It should be remembered that the formula C(N, M) C(T, M) / C(B, M) is not perfectly accurate, it is approximate, but when calculated using small numbers, the error is negligible and does not influence the result.

“Universal System”

Guessing Lottery Numbers

Many people are interested in whether there is a “universal system” for guessing lottery numbers with which one could regularly win?
No, such a system does not exist.

As in any lottery, success is determined by one of the elements of probability theory - the factor of chance. The result of the draw depends entirely on the actions of the lottery machine. By randomly mixing the balls without any human influence, the lottery machine produces such incredible combinations that it is simply impossible to imagine. Sometimes the lottery machine will throw out several numbers in a row, and sometimes, on the contrary, it will scatter numbers across the entire playing field of the ticket. Therefore, winning is possible both in a systemic game and in an unsystematic game.

However, only constant participation in the lottery from draw to draw with a small number of tickets, and not a “universal system” at all, allows you to become the owner of a prize.

What are the advantages of playing according to a system over playing without a system?

To be sure to guess 6 numbers in the lottery “6 out of 45″, “6 out of 49″ and 5 numbers in the lottery “5 out of 36″, “5 out of 40″ you need to fill out 8,145,060, 13,983,816 and 376,992, respectively, 658,008 combinations, which is almost impossible to do for one lottery participant, or for the whole team. Playing according to the system makes it possible to cover, within reasonable limits, a certain number of combinations made up of a group of numbers.

The system brings the possibility of winning closer: the more numbers covered by the system, the more likely the chance of winning.

And finally, in case of guessing, the system gives a large amount of winnings, since, as a rule, several combinations win.

How do they play the system?

Let's show this using the example of the “7 numbers - 7 combinations” system for the “6 out of 45”, “6 out of 49” lotteries.

7 numbers in this system are arranged in 7 combinations so that none of them is repeated:

1 combination - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2 combination.-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
3 combination - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
4 combination - 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7
5 combination - 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7
6 combination - 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
7 combination - 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

From 45 (49) lottery numbers, choose any 7 numbers you like

For example: No. 4, No. 11, No. 21, No. 33, No. 37, No. 40 and No. 45. And substitute their numbers instead of the system numbers:

4, 11, 21, 33, 37, 40
4, 11, 21, 33, 37, 45
4, 11, 21, 33, 40, 45
4, 11, 21, 37, 40, 45
4, 11, 33, 37, 40, 45
4, 21, 33, 37, 40, 45
11, 21, 33, 37, 40, 45

Now let's check: any 6 numbers from numbers the selected 7 numbers are necessarily included among the system combinations.

The advantage of the system is that if you guess 6 numbers, you can win not only for these 6 numbers, but also six wins for 5 numbers. Consequently, not one, but several lottery tickets win at once.

The system “7 numbers - 7 combinations” given in the example is called a complete system, since it contains all possible combinations with the given seven numbers and provides the highest performance - sixes with six numbers guessed. A feature of complete systems is that the winnings of each winning group are precisely determined and calculated using the appropriate formulas.

In addition to complete systems, there are also incomplete or reduced systems. They are compiled on the principle of the possibility of winnings in the lower winning groups (for 3 and 4 numbers for lotteries with a numerical formula of 5 numbers out of n; for 4 and 5 numbers for lotteries with a numerical formula 6 numbers out of n) when guessing a certain number of numbers, and therefore are more economical and require less numbers combinations.

For example, the incomplete system “7 numbers - 5 combinations” for the lottery “6 out of 45″, “6 out of 49″ gives winnings for 4 guessed numbers, but no longer guarantees winnings for 6 numbers, like the complete system “7 numbers - 7 combinations” :

1 combination – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
2 combination – 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7
3 combination - 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7
4 combination – 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
5 combination – 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

There are a large number of incomplete systems in all types of lotteries. It is advisable to use them when individually participating in the lottery, since they make it possible to combine a large number of numbers with a small number of combinations.

A type of incomplete systems are systems with hard (constant) numbers. They are made up of a certain number of hard (permanent) numbers. Typically, for such systems, 1, 2 or 3 permanent numbers are taken, since with a larger content of permanent numbers, the efficiency of the system decreases.

For example: the “7 numbers - 4 combinations” system with three constant (hard) numbers looks like this:

1 combination - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
2 combination - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
3 combination - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
4 combination - 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

1. “4+1” system.

Four numbers are crossed out equally in all combinations of the system. The role of the fifth number is alternately played by the remaining thirty-two numbers.

There are 32 combinations in the complete system.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 6
1, 2, 3, 4, 7

Full system features:

a) if the constant, basic part guesses 2 numbers, the winnings will be: 3 triples;

b) if the constant, basic part guesses 3 numbers, the winnings will be: 2 fours and 30 threes;

c) if the constant, basic part guesses 4 numbers, the winnings will be: 1 five and 31 fours.

2. “3+2” system.

Three numbers are selected and crossed out equally in all combinations. The remaining two numbers change in combinations. To do this, a complete system of pairs is compiled from the remaining 33 numbers.

There are 528 combinations in the complete system.

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

2. 1, 2, 3,4, 6

3. - – - – –

4. - – - – –

527. 1, 2, 3, 34, 36

a) if 1 number is guessed with the constant, basic part, the winnings will be: 6 triplets;

b) if the constant, basic part guesses 2 numbers, the winnings will be: 3 fours and 90 threes;

c) if the constant, basic part guesses 3 numbers, the winnings will be: 1 five, 62 fours and 465 threes.

An incomplete system of seventeen combinations makes it possible to use all the additional thirty-three numbers.

To create pairs of numbers, you can use the “Statistics of pairwise number drops” (the most frequently played pairs), where each number corresponds to a pair of numbers.

3. “8+X” system.

The basic part of the system consists of eight permanent numbers. The additional variable number "X" within one single system is also a constant number.

It is assumed that several such systems will be used in one circulation, differing only in the “X” number.

In one system, two winning options are possible.

Option I. The winning numbers are completely included in the eight base numbers. The system will provide:

If 3 numbers are guessed - 1 triple;

With 4 guessed numbers - 4 threes or 1 four;

With 5 numbers guessed - 1 four and 6 threes.

Option II. One of the winning numbers is an additional one, and the rest are part of the eight basic numbers. The system will provide:

With 3 correctly guessed numbers - 3 triplets;

With 4 numbers guessed - 1 four and 6 threes;

With 5 numbers guessed - 4 fours and 6 threes or 1 five and 12 threes.

– 1, 2, 3, 7, X
– 1, 2, 4, 6, X
– 1, 2, 5, 8, X

– 3, 4, 6, 7, X
– 3, 5, 7, 8, X
– 4, 5, 6, 8, X

This system is ideal for playing with increasing bets.

A full bet equal to twenty-eight systems gives winnings:

with two numbers guessed by the base part - 9 triplets;

with three - 2 fours and 38 threes;

with four - from 4 fours and 114 threes to 1 five, 27 fours, and 12 threes;

with five numbers guessed by the base part - 28 fours and 168 threes.

The option of playing with the “8+X” system is allowed, where “X” are arbitrary numbers in all combinations.

Total: the system allows you to receive one or another win in 44.98% of cases.

3. System “8+X+U”.

The basic part of the system consists of eight permanent numbers. Variable numbers “X” and “Y” within one particular system are also permanent numbers.

It is assumed that several such systems will be used in one circulation, differing only in the numbers “X” and “Y”.

In one system, three winning options are possible.

Option I. The winning numbers were completely included in the eight base numbers. The system provides:

If 4 numbers are guessed - 1 four or no win;

With 5 guessed numbers - 1 four;

With 6 guessed numbers - 3 fours.

Option II. One of the winning numbers is among the additional ones, and the rest are included in the base numbers. The system provides:

With 4 guessed numbers - 1 four;

With 5 guessed numbers - 4 fours or 1 five;

With 6 numbers guessed - 1 five and 6 fours.

Option III. The two winning numbers are additional numbers, and the rest are part of the base numbers. The system provides:

With 4 guessed numbers - 3 fours;
