It's a thing that many lottery players ask themselves; can the lotto be won by some lottery strategies or is it completely random? Is the person whom closes their eyes and throws darts at a set of numbers as likely to win as an individual who sits down and works out the mathematical possibilities of the winning numbers? The truth is, the chances of winning the lottery, especially the jackpot will be extremely small. For instance, the current chance of winning the Mega Millions Jackpot is 1 in 175,711,536!

Many people pick numbers randomly, perhaps choosing what is on their mind at any given time or use the random number generator offered with every lottery, where the computer will pick for you. Although there's no rule that says you will not win with randomly generated numbers, it is said that using some sort of lottery agent strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can enhance your chances of picking up a prize.
