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

A lot of men and women 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 won't win with randomly generated numbers, it's said that using some sort of official lottery strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can enhance your probability of picking up a prize.
