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

Many 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 is absolutely no rule that says you won't win with randomly generated numbers, it's said that using some sort of trusted lottery dealer strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can increase your prospects of picking up a prize.
