The fairy-tale of calculating lotto numbers

clover Sorry for writing about lotto again, I’m kinda annoyed by that topic too, but since there are people who believe that future lotto drawings could be calculated – like one here in the comments (in German), who kindly provided some details when I asked him by e-mail, thanks a lot – I consider it quite appropriate to go into that.

So this is Mr Galluzzo’s comment, translated by me:

So if you make it more precisely, you would have to give away many details, and who gives anything away would be quite stupid.
You can only learn something if you’re playing yourself.

You don’t have to play lotto in order to look at the numbers, and you can learn without spending money on false hopes, too.

:dunce: One could also learn by e.g. attending a course or buying/renting a book about “Probability calculation for beginners.” Isn’t there one in the “for dummies” series (whose title is never intended to offend…)?

I think that you are no player, if you were a player with experience, you wouldn’t write such stupid stuff, I already said that.

Oh, yes, the biiig secrets and experiences of “experts”, yeah, sure. As if that would change anything about no lotto drawing depending of the preceding drawings.

Now into more details:

A baton for the Chrismas tree

A German blog baton…

  • 3 (material) wishes for Christmas
    – an MP3 player (not from Apple ;) )
    – a big, good digital camera
    – a few energy-saving lamps
  • 3 people I would like to celebrate Christmas with
    I’m highlighting the “would” like others before:
    – Freddie Mercury †
    – my grandparents on my mother’s side †† (but better not at the same time as Freddie)
  • 3 people that will receive a present from me
    – my parents (who already know)
    – I won’t name more since they read here, too…
  • 3 people that should catch this baton
    Any non-German-speaker who wants to pick up this translation of mine?

“Lotto prediction” with numerology?

» Click here for all my articles about lotto

Lotto playing sheet - photo from lotto-bw.de/presse Lotto? Again?? Well, thanks to the high jackpot in Germany, that topic is popular – number 1 also in my search request statistics (after my fun post about certain pantiless antics got kicked out of Google’s index [for a few days]). And some enlightenment can’t hurt… in brief:

Lotto numbers cannot be predicted!

More precisely: If your predicted numbers are drawn, that’s just coincidence, because the drawings are random. Those who claim otherwise, please try to prove it…

I came across another specimen of prognoses on miracles.ch (German) – based on “numerology” (Wikipedia article). Or what’s been made to look like it. In addition to horoscope-like spesifications based on date of birth etc. and “lucky numbers” derived from the name you enter (1 for A, 2 for B,… 26 for Z :roll: ), this site with a web design from the last millennium also offers a “lotto number prognosis” for German and Swiss lotto. Quote (my translation, trying to reproduce spelling mistakes ;) ):

The Lotto Miracles Predition, is unique and Fantastic. Here you can have your personal and current lottonumber prognosis according to numerology generated every week and again and again new Miracles Lottonumber prognoses for the next Lotto 6/49 drawings.
