Across the world, serious lottery players are searching for lottery number patterns that can provide them one advantage. There is just one such lottery strategy that's proven to provide them an edge. It utilizes lottery number patterns that exist in all of the lotteries. They're called Longshots.

If you don't know what Longshots are, we will start with some history as well as a definition. Several years back there was a lottery strategy that became rather popular that, for lack of a more suitable name, we will call the Hot Number Strategy. Along with it came the normal marketing hype that you would expect. The pitch went something like this:

Since more than 80% of all winning lottery numbers Hit in the last 10 drawings, create your play list from the winners in the last 10 drawings. This will improve your prospects of winning the lottery.

At the start, it sounds plausible enough. Still, let's think about this. Implicit in the strategy is the opposite side of the coin. Any lottery numbers that have not Hit in the last 10 drawings are considered a rather dubious pick. Hence, these lottery numbers were named Longshots. The name persists to this day and I even use it. Nonetheless, I do not malign the usage of Longshots. In fact, I applaud them. Including Longshots in a play list is definitely an absolute necessity for any viable lottery strategy.

For all of those lottery players who got caught up in the Hot Number Strategy hype, this was, undoubtedly, an extremely expensive lesson. A great deal of cash was spent with little to show for it.

Excluding Longshots resulted in a Hot Number Strategy disaster. The truth is, including Longshots is crucial to any viable lottery strategy because, on the standard, 25% to 40% of the winning numbers are Longshots! You heard me right; 25% to 40%.

This has been true for every lottery in the US and Canada for over 20 years. That's when I started analyzing them. The percentage varies from lottery to lottery as the size of the lotteries change. For instance, the percentage is higher for a 6/52 lottery than it really is for a 6/44 lottery. But, you may be assured that this lottery number pattern is as solid as a rock.

It's simple for someone to verify this. Well, maybe without an excellent lottery software program, not so simple. Yet, in any case, this really is the approach. List all of the lottery numbers that have Hit in the last 10 drawings for each lottery drawing. Any lottery number not within the list has to be a Longshot. Count the range of winning numbers within the next drawing which were Longshots. Do this for the whole lottery history. If you average the number of Longshots which were winners, you will find the answer lies somewhere between 25 and 40 percent.

How can you take advantage of these details? Assuming that the answer you got was 30%, then, on the common, 30% of the winning numbers in the next drawing will be Longshots. If you were playing a 6/48 lottery, this means that you should expect 1.8 winning numbers to be Longshots. (30% x 6 = 1.8) Keep in mind, this does not happen every drawing but it's unwaveringly persistent over time. One example is in Lotto Texas, at least 1 of the winning numbers is a Longshot 89% of the time! To put it differently, you can count on it.

This shows why the Hot Number Strategy practitioners wasted so much cash. On the normal, their play lists were coming up 1.8 numbers short. This must are already (but still is) very frustrating for the players using this weak lottery strategy.

Several of you are, no doubt, asking how you will take benefit from Longshot when you play. Continuing with the example above, it is very simple. Let's say you elect to pare down a 48 number lottery to a 37 number play list with the aid of lottery analysis software. Not only a bad strategy since you've got eliminated 9,946,728 wagers from play! Since you are expecting 30% of the winning lottery numbers to be Longshots, you make sure that 11 of those 37 lottery numbers within your play list are Longshots. (30%x37=11.1)

It is hard to imagine any lottery strategy that will not include Longshots. Serious lottery players everywhere use it. This is called playing the odds. In fact, that is what all successful gamblers do; play the odds.
