The lotto countdown begins.
[1] Don’t pick numbers that have already won, especially not from recent draws. Many players believe that winnings numbers are somehow lucky and therefore more likely to come up. Of course that isn’t true, but a lot of people do it.
[2] Don’t pick numbers based on an arithmetic sequences, such as 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 49. People like number patterns – you would be stunned at how many people pick this way every single week.
[3] Don’t pick numbers according to a ‘tip’ service. Just imagine how many other people will use the same numbers!
[4] Don’t pick numbers purely according to family birthdays. Enormous numbers of lottery players choose the day of the birthday of family members when selecting lottery numbers. But there are only 31 days at most in a month – which means an awful lot of people pick all their numbers in that range.
[5] Don’t make a pattern on your playslip. Diagonal or straight lines in any direction, star shapes, boxes, zig-zags etc. You might think who else would do that? The answer is anywhere from tens of people to tens of THOUSANDS of people!

86-year-old Mary Wollens of Toronto won the Ontario Lottery in September after dreaming of a large cheque and a lotto ticket. Although she already had one ticket, her dream inspired her to buy another and having a second ticket with the same numbers paid off because someone else had also correctly picked the same winning numbers so Mary was able to claim two-thirds of the $16 million dollar prize!
