If you're serious about playing the lottery, understanding how to choose your numbers can make all the difference. This article explores how our method, Chosen Number Selections, revolutionizes the way lottery players should approach number selection — and why it should become the new standard for picking lottery numbers.
Defining a New Standard for Lottery Numbers
To establish a true standard for selecting lottery numbers, it’s essential that the method meets three key criteria:
- No Duplicates: Overall, the most efficient method of selecting lottery numbers would be to ensure we have no duplicate selections.
- Equal Distribution: It would need to ensure that the number sequences are selected equally from the entire range of the lottery.
- Reflecting True Odds: The "Lottery Odds" of winning the lottery would be 1 out of the total number of combinations. The standard must reflect these lottery odds.
Chosen Number Selections: Already the Standard
Our Chosen Numbers Selections method is designed to meet all three of these criteria by generating selections from the full range of lottery numbers, ensuring no duplicates. This approach naturally aligns with the true odds of winning, making it the most efficient way to select your lottery numbers.
The Current Lottery Norm: Random Selections
Currently, when people are playing the lottery without using chosen number selections, they are playing essentially random selections.
Random selections:
- Include favorite numbers as well as quick picks.
- Produce duplicates.
- Sequences selected tend to contain the first 31 numbers of a lottery because people generally include dates in their favorite number selections.
Comparing Random Selections to the New Standard
We now have a standard.
To compare apples with apples, we would need to have a consistent way of comparing random selections with the standard.
The only viable method to compare is to see how long it takes to go through all possible lottery combinations.
To prove the standard and its efficiency, since the standard only goes through all the lottery possibilities once, we need to figure out how many draws it would take to go through all lottery combinations using random selections.
Using statistics, it is possible to determine how many draws it would take so every lottery combination is drawn at least once.
The math behind the statistics is derived from the solution of the "coupon collector problem".
The coupon collector problem generalizes the outcome of how many selections are required so all combinations are hit at least once.
The math is:
We ran the "coupon collector" math against all the lotteries we have listed on our site. This would be the "Odds with Random Selections" column below.
Finally, when comparing different results, we have to figure out a way of mathematically relating the final results to the standard.
We are basing our efficiency on the math:
How Efficient are Chosen Number Selections for the Lotteries?
We crunched the numbers and calculated the efficiencies of our Chosen Number selections compared to random selections.
Again to emphasize, random number selections would be considered lottery sequences not selected through our chosennumbers.com site.
