There are nearly 14,000,000 different ways of arranging any 6 of the numbers 1 to 49. Current opinion is that there is exactly the same chance of any one of the possible 6 number combinations being drawn as any other. In reality this is not strictly true.

The lowest number drawn in the life of the UK national lottery has always been between 1 and 29. Therefore if you had chosen your 6 numbers from the range of 30-49 you would have automatically precluded yourself from a jackpot win. Click to see more on this example.

So, if you still wish to chose all your numbers from the range 30-49 you must feel very lucky indeed! Of course theoretically you could still win that jackpot but... probability is very much against you.

This is a simple example of a very complex and thorough analysis we have undertaken. We have checked some 400 similar aspects of lottery draw patterns to produce exhaustive number checking procedures.

What this means for you, the lottery gamer, is that your numbers will more closely match those that the lottery machines turn out each week —i.e. they will be truly random.

Ignore this concept at your peril! It's not magic, just 'get-real' maths.

All 400 of these checks are detailed in our great new book:
