Making use of the dates for the lottery numbers has turned out to become the most common practice for a majority of the lottery players. However, this is not a great way for betting. After drawing the lotteries, people end up creating their wagers that would use the family birthdays, anniversaries or those special dates that would hold some personal importance in their lives. The common belief is that if the date has brought them luck before, it would happen again. These become the luckiest dates of their life and hence they bet with the same numbers. But the results in the lottery have proven that such a practice has a negative effect in a majority of the cases.

One of the important reasons for this negative result would be that if you are betting keeping the dates in mind then you would be betting only those numbers that fall from 1 to 31 and you would be completely ignoring the rest of the numbers. So if you are playing those lotteries that are either of 31 numbers of even 50 numbers in most cases, you would stand a very good chance, but what about those lotteries that involve all the numbers from 1 to 100.

There was a research conducted with the lottery NY659 and it was demonstrated that in the last 200 drawings there was only one of the winning tickets that contained the numbers from 1 to 31 and that simply means that the chances of you winning the lotteries on the basis of the dates would be as low as 0.5% since there was no chance of winning in 199of those drawings.

A lot of lotteries in North America do possess lesser numbers and that’s where you can try out the date scenario, however there are equal chances of the numbers to appear above 31. So in case if you are looking forward to better your chances to win as much as possible, you need to leave your conventional approach of placing your bets.
