How to Win the Lottery
why do lottery playslips for California Super Lotto only issue numbers in sequential order?
it seems that everytime i’ve used a playslip it only issues numbers in ascending order i.e. (1-47). the problem with this is that there has never been a winning lottery number with sequentially ordered numbers in it. also, i was curious how people use their birthdays when there seems to be way too many numbers in a lotto number to comprise a person’s birthdate (let alone the absence of numbers above 47). i never really do this so i was hoping someone could enlighten me a bit…
First of all, the order in which the numbers are drawn doesn’t matter. If you want to pay the numbers 1, 19, 23, 31, 44 and Mega Ball 20, just fill the first five numbers and then 20 in the Mega Ball (MB) area. If the winning numbers are 44, 23, 1, 19, 31 MB 20, you’ll win the Jackpot because you have guessed correctly all the winning numbers. So, since the order is immaterial, the most logical way to list numbers is in sequential order.
When people play their birthdays, they play whatever number is allowed by the particular lottery. SuperLotto plus aloows upto 47 while Mega Millions allow upto 56. For example, if someone is born on 12/25/1965, he/she may play the numbers 12, 25, 19 but not 65. Then, since two more numbers and a MB are required, the person may wish to play his/her age, that is, 43. Now, the 5th number and the MB have to be guessed or use the spouse’s birthday to complete the numbers.
