Same Numbers - Lotto

[chrissa1]

I've had the same numbers for years and 4 came up last week. Sadly, along with 54,000.00 other people. Should I keep on playing them or are the odds too huge to hope they may come up again?

The odds of your numbers coming up again next week are exactly the same as they were this week, and are the same as any six different numbers coming up...

Once you know your numbers off by heart, you have to keep playing them.

How would you feel if you missed a week, and your numbers all came up?

You are doomed to play those numbers for ever, and ever, and ever, and ...

You could switch to playing the Irish Lotto at your local Bookmakers ! They pay out more money than the National Lottery on 3 or 4 Numbers coming up.
You chose from 45 Numbers instead of 49 and you can also do Perms which you cannot do on the National one.

The lotto machine that generates the winning numbers has no memory.
There are lots of misconceptions around concerning numbers and their chances of coming up- people would never pick 44,45,46,47, 48, 49 for example, yet it's just as likely to come up as 3, 12, 16, 21, 34, 43, for example. Suppose that instead of 49 numbered balls there were 49 different coloured balls. Every combination is just as likely as any other combination of colours. There's no reason why red would be more likely to come up than silver. It's the same with numbers.

Thanks guys. You are all absolutely right, I just hadn't thought about it that way. So yes, I doomed forever, aagh!!!!
The chap in the garage told me about Lotto Hot Picks, so I might try one of those too.

You are not going to win big money.
