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 person that closes their eyes and throws darts at a group of numbers as very likely to win as someone 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 very small. By way of 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 is he said that using some sort of lottery strategy, or at least looking out for strong numbers can boost your chances of picking up a prize.
