It's something that many lottery players ask themselves; can the lotto be won by some lottery strategies or is it completely random? Is the person which closes their eyes and throws darts at a group of numbers as more likely to win as somebody that sits down and works out the mathematical possibilities of the winning numbers? The truth is, the chances of winning the bookie lottery online, particularly the jackpot is incredibly small. As an example, the current chance of winning the Mega Millions Jackpot is 1 in 175,711,536!

Lots of people pick numbers randomly, perhaps choosing what is on their own mind at any given time or use the random number generator offered with every lottery, where the computer will pick for you. Although there isn't any rule that says you won't win with randomly generated numbers, it is said that using some sort of lottery strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can increase your probability of picking up a prize.
