Choosing Your Numbers Step-By-Step
OVERVIEW
We will be choosing six lotto numbers by first choosing six delta
numbers between 1 and 15, following all the rules of our system. All
the following examples assume a 6-digit, 1 to 50 lotto game. These
rules will change somewhat for games which are too different from
this. Use the Analysis Lotto software, or
our free lotto computer to experiment with
different games. Additional help can be also found on our Delta
Lotto DVD.
STEP 1
Start by choosing one very low number. Over 60% of the time, ONE
is going to be at least one of the winning delta numbers. So, if you
feel good about it, make the number ONE
your first choice. If you don't pick ONE,
choose another very low number like two or three.
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 1
STEP 2
Pick two more numbers between 1 and 8
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 1-4-7
STEP 3
For the fourth number, pick something pretty close to 8 ,either above
or below it.
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 1-4-7-9
STEP 4
The last two numbers should probably be higher than 8 but not higher
than 15. Less than half the time, a winning number may have a delta
higher than 15. Go ahead and make one of these numbers higher than 15
(but less than 25) if it feels right... but my advice is to mostly stick
to numbers 15 and below, where the odds of picking the right numbers
are more favorable.
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 1-4-7-9-10-13
Consider all these rules to be general guidelines. You can certainly
bend them. Picking lotto numbers is not an exact science!
STEP 5
What's the highest number allowed in your lotto game? Add up all the
delta numbers you picked and make sure its not higher than this number.
If this sum is within about FIFTEEN of
the highest number, it has the best chance of being a winner. Go ahead
and change some of the numbers if you need to to make the sum come out
right. Remember, its OK to have numbers repeat in your sequence.
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 1
+ 4 + 7 + 9 + 10 + 13 = 44 (It's Perfect)
STEP 6
Since the deltas are not usually in ascending order, randomly mix up
the digits you picked.
EXAMPLE SEQUENCE: 7-1-10-4-13-9
STEP 7
Perform the addition sequence to discover the actual lotto number you'll
be playing:
- The first lotto number is the same as the first number in your delta
sequence.
- Add the first two deltas to get your second lotto number.
- Third lotto number: Add the second lotto number above to your third
delta number.
- Fourth lotto number: Add the third lotto number to the fourth delta
number.
- Fifth lotto number: Add the fourth lotto number to the fifth delta
number.
- Sixth lotto number: Add the fifth lotto number to the sixth delta
number.
EXAMPLE BECOMES THIS LOTTO NUMBER: 7-8-18-22-35-44
Play your number !
Make sure to save both the delta and actual lotto number for the next
step.
STEP 8
How did you do? If you didn't win, turn the winning number into a delta,
and compare it to your delta to see how close you really were:
- Copy the first lotto number down. This is your first delta.
- Subtract the first lotto number from the second one. This is the
second delta.
- Third delta: Subtract the second lotto number from the third lotto
number.
- Fourth delta: Subtract the third lotto number from the fourth lotto
number.
- Fifth delta: Subtract the fourth lotto number from the fifth lotto
number.
- Sixth delta: Subtract the fifth lotto number from the sixth one.
