We all have lucky numbers we always choose when betting on the lottery. Some numbers are chosen because of the assumptions that they are ‘lucky’. While other numbers are discouraged because they are thought to bring ill fortune.

Despite lotteries being totally random, players still hold on to the hope that their lucky numbers will bring them great fortunes.

26, 16, 41, 32, and 28 are said to be the most drawn numbers. The number 26 has been drawn 281 more times than the least common ball number 66.

With one in 300 million as the odds for you to win the lottery, that shouldn’t discourage you from placing your bets. You can up your chances of winning by means of placing more than one bet at a time or betting on every draw.

How to pick your lottery numbers

Don’t be so quick to choose numbers that carry special meaning in your life, for instance, an anniversary date or birthday. It would be a smarter decision to pick numbers that are most drawn to boost your odds to win.
