Every successful lotto player I know has two very strong points to make in this regard:

* Lottery numbers are random, so it doesn't matter if you change your numbers or not; and

* If you are inclined to remember numbers, you are encouraged to change your numbers often (so as to avoid the anguish of seeing a set of numbers you used to play come up this week).

For the record, the most successful lotto players I know change their numbers every 5 to 10 weeks, or so. Why? Just because they like to.

Now, For Some Fun

Below is a list of techniques and strategies that I know some of my most eccentric customers have used over the years to select their weekly 'lucky' numbers. They are fun, unique and often crazy, but there's one thing I can't say about them – they are no more effective at predicting the winning numbers than me chewing bubble gum to solve algebra!

* An elderly gentleman would hide a large number of tennis balls in his backyard, and then call on his faithful dog to fetch them, one at a time as he marked his coupon.

* A woman I once knew would place a piece of paper (with the numbers of her favourite lottery written all over it) on the bottom tray of her pet budgie's cage and choose those numbers which were "hit" by the bird's droppings!

* Many people use a familiar bingo ball or similar 'barrel' to pick their numbers.

* Some resort to throwing darts at a dart board with the numbers of their favourite lottery marked on a piece of paper attached to the front.

* A neighbour would often swing at a series of numbers golf balls, and those resting closest to the 'pin' would be this week's lucky numbers!

I imagine for many people, this article may have challenged you to reconsider the efficacy of the latest lottery number picking system you recently devised or invested in. If so, my advice is, ask for your money back, and stick to something more FUN and certainly RANDOM!

(a) Every single lottery game / ticket you play can win a prize, including the jackpot; and

(b) The more games / tickets you play, the more chances you have to win.
