It's a thing 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 group 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 probability of winning the lottery, particularly the jackpot is incredibly small. For example, 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 official 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 really is said that using some kind of lottery strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can increase your chances of picking up a prize.
