When\nit comes to choosing lottery numbers, everyone has their own preferred method.\nSome like to analyze past draws to spot any patterns, while others look to the\nZodiac for the answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no matter how you pick your lottery numbers, the draw is always totally random. While there is no method to guarantee a win (otherwise we\u2019d all be millionaires!) there’s no harm in having one, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you’re wanting to have a go at scooping the massive $810 million Mega Millions jackpot<\/a> we’re all going crazy about, try one of these eight different ways to make your pick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Study The Statistics <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Studying<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This method involves looking up previous draws and\nnoting down the balls that get drawn most frequently. And thanks to a global\nobsession with lotteries, there is tons of information out there for you to\nstudy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there\u2019s no mathematical reason why some numbers get drawn more than others, there are a few that appear to be hotter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just remember that every number has the same chance of being drawn<\/strong>, regardless of whether it has appeared 10 or zero times over the past few draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, this method is pretty time consuming, but many lottery players feel it gives them an edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t be the only one using this method, though, so be prepared to split the prize if your numbers win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use Numerology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"lottery<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up, we come onto numerology<\/a>. Whether you choose to use this method really depends on whether you\u2019re a believer in the power of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can calculate<\/a> their own \u201cnumbers\u201d which hold a significance that’s personal to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not going to go into how to find them, as it\u2019s a really<\/em> long process, but there are plenty of websites that explain how it all works if you want to try this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once\nyou\u2019ve come up with six numbers, use them for the next lottery draw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never know: Some cosmic force could lead to you finally winning the jackpot you\u2019ve been chasing for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Lucky Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Person<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nearly\neveryone has some lucky numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might like 10, for example, as it\u2019s your birthday. Or you could have an attachment to number 28 for no reason whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucky numbers come in all forms, from anniversaries to player jerseys<\/a>. All you need to do is pick the ones you like or hold a sentimental value for, and that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s\ncertainly not a scientific way of doing things but it\u2019s always been a very\npopular way to pick lottery numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Go Random<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Person<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every lottery is completely random, so why shouldn\u2019t the way you pick numbers embrace this? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s\nthe first number you think of? Write it down, and you\u2019ve got your first pick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\nare various other ways to randomly pick numbers as well – the only limit to the\nways is your own imagination. You could even just drop a pen on some numbers\nand use the one it hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\ncould go on about random number picking methods for hours, but we\u2019ll let you get\ncreative instead. As long as you end up with the correct number of picks,\nyou\u2019re doing it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually one of our top ways to pick numbers, as it doesn\u2019t have to take too long and it takes the pressure off having to think of lottery numbers for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pick Numbers Over 31<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"lottery<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although this method won\u2019t increase your chances of winning, it could increase the amount you win if you\u2019re lucky enough to scoop the jackpot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, most people have some low numbers in their selection, as they often use birthdays. Therefore, the numbers over 31 are used less frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nthen means that there\u2019s less chance of someone else also hitting the jackpot\nwith your numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like this: You pick your numbers for a $10m jackpot, and 10 people win. Everyone would get $1 million each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only 2 people win though, you\u2019d instead find yourself raking in $5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d\nrecommend this method to everyone, as it at least does have some mathematical\nreasoning behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Make A Pattern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Lottery<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou\u2019re looking down at your lottery slip, you\u2019ll notice that every selection\ncontributes towards a pattern. This method involves picking numbers by drawing\non the slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\ncould go in a circle, for example, or you could try to draw out a letter of the\nalphabet. Use your artistic flair and ability to make something that really\ndoes look great when you hand it over to the cashier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t\njust go in a straight line though as loads of people do this, so if you win,\nyou\u2019ll be sharing your prize with quite a few other winners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Use A System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Delta<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another\nway some people choose their lottery numbers is by using a system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of these online, all of which are supposed to improve your odds of winning the jackpot<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, they don\u2019t, but many people have found it works for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are tons out there, but we will only explain the Delta System <\/strong>today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It works like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
