How to Win on Lottery Tickets
Use the singleton method., Buy the correct tickets., Chart the "random" outside numbers that repeat., Mark the ones., Look for groupings., Develop this technique.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Use the singleton method.
A few years ago, a statistician discovered a statistical quirk in the production of scratch-off tickets, which can double your chances of winning if exploited correctly.Basically, scratch off games operate under the assumption of "randomness," but can't be produced in a truly random way, because the lottery board needs to keep track of how many winning tickets are in circulation. -
Step 2: Buy the correct tickets.
Some "match style" or "tic-tac-toe" scratch off tickets are marked with a kind of code you can learn to recognize.
Look for the kind of ticket on which you must match "3 in a row" from a given group of amounts.
Typically, the outside of the aluminum coating will be marked with seemingly "random" numbers you scratch off to reveal amounts on the inside.
If, on a given ticket, game space, you get three $100 amounts, you win the amount listed.
These are the games that can be deciphered using the singleton method.
They're also typically among the cheapest lottery tickets, and have the lowest payouts, so you can buy several to practice., Look at the numbers that mark the playing space and, for each, count how many times each number repeats on the ticket.
Pay close attention to "singletons." These are the "random" numbers that appear only once on the ticket.
The digits you're looking for won't be the same--that would mean they would appear more than once.
Remember, you're looking for numbers that appear only once. , On a separate sheet of paper, draw a mock-up of the ticket, filling in "1" in place of the random digit in each space you find a singleton.
A group of singletons will signal a winning card 60-90% of the time. , Depending on the rules of the game you're playing, you might need to look for three in a given space, or three in a row, but typically cards that display this abnormality are statistically more likely to be winners. 60% may not sound like a lot, but the average scratch-off card has a 30% chance of winning, so you've doubled your chances.
Over a large group of tickets, this can yield a significant profit. , Experiment with other scratch off tickets looking for repetitions in the "random" numbers.
All of them work on the same principle, and you might be able to discover an anomaly that you can exploit in a particular game.
Buy cheap tickets and study them to see what you can come up with. -
