Do you believe that utilizing important dates for lottery numbers will increase your chances of winning the lottery jackpot?
Possibly. Possibly not. Many have tried to use important dates in your life as lottery numbers trying to increase your chances of winning the lottery jackpot. I can remember when I was guilty of using this strategy. But, it's definitely not a smart play.
I'm not saying that birthdays and anniversaries are not important. I surely don't want to offend anyone. But, it is important for you to take an unbiased look at the facts.
One thing I must point out is that in some lotteries, utilizing important dates makes sense.
But, in other lotteries, this could be expensive. Your penalty is a reduction in your chances of winning the lottery jackpot.
For example, in North America, utilizing important dates is perfectly alright for the Minnesota Northstar Cash (5/31), West Virginia Cash 25 (6/25), Wisconsin Badger 5 (5/31) or the Pennsylvania Cash 5 (5/30) lotteries. In these lotteries there would be no penalty. But, you will be lowering your chances of winning the lottery jackpot in the other 69 North American lotteries. To show you the implications of your decision, here are some startling facts I discovered using my lottery software.
Your penalty can be very expensive.
It should be no surprise that the penalty is larger for larger lotteries. These statistics make my point rather emphatically.
All five number lotteries in North America were analyzed over a three year period.
If you play the date strategy, what are your chances?
1. For a 5/37 lottery - only 40% of the time
2. For a 5/40 lottery - only 23% of the time
3. For a 5/35 lottery - only 55% of the time
Therefore, in 9 months out of every year, you wouldn't even be in the running to win the 5/40 lottery. That's 40 weeks every year when your anniversaries never had a chance.
Question: How long are you going to continue riding this dead horse?
