Winning Lotto Tips
Cold Numbers and Overdue Numbers

It's always fun, but the nay-sayers will always tell you that it's completely random, and any system you come up with for picking lotto numbers has no better chance of any other number sequence. Don't you believe them! While we won't go into the cosmic interplay of randomness, we do firmly believe that there is nothing random in the universe. It may not be understood, and the sequence may not be readily apparent, but it's there. Students of number theory, statistics and even philosophy will tend to agree.

For our first tip, let's talk about "cold" numbers. If you're a serious lotto player, you watch each and every number and track how many times it shows up in the draw over the course of the year. You may have even made a grid to show each number and its frequency. The numbers at the very bottom of that grid are the "cold" numbers that probably should never be played. But if you look at those numbers a different way, you'll see that there's a difference between "cold" numbers and numbers that are simply overdue. A cold number rarely shows up at all--while an "overdue" number will appear in the draw perhaps several times in a row, and then go back into hibernation. And so--besides tracking frequency over the course of the year, you can track overdue numbers by charting each number's appearance from week to week, and examining the spikes in its appearance. In a six-digit lotto game, one of the winning numbers is often an overdue number. Why? Don't know, but it can be documented.
