Most math fans may just argue about something they can't prove and yes, lotto is a number based game but that doesn't necessarily make it mathematically. I have been playing euro-millions since the first day it was played often with good results until my second real strike which got me curious to find out how the game works.
Trying to find out how lotto works is in itself a daunting task but, it's doable if you are determined.
After 5 years of simulating two of lotto's common behaviours, the order in which lotto numbers are draw as well as repeating numbers, i came to learn that lotto (euro-millions in this case) is nothing other than a structured pattern game based on 5 digits. What i mean by this is that, the 50 numbers you see in the drum are nothing but 5 numbers represented by the 50 numbers.
Probably the easiest way for you to understand this is as follows, each lotto number played be it random is assigned a position 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 when those numbers are sorted in their smallest to biggest which the machine then uses as the main number not 13, 20, 27, 43 and 50 which in this case are just references.
Maybe before we go deep into this, ask yourselves the following questions.
Why do different lotto systems use and require different numbers or, why does a 42 number system require 6 numbers and not 5 or why would a 50 number system require 5 numbers and not 6?
The answer to this is clear, simply because lotto is a structured game whose required numbers are dividend compatible to their system numbers or the other way round.
However, to better understand how lotto works you need to understand the number layout, number grouping and the technique used.
This is one subject everyone can say their opinion but the fact is, until you take the matter into your own hands you will always believe what everyone is telling you.
Again, if you want to make something of lotto just stay away from math and use your common sense.
