Lottery Software Programs-Do They Work?

Every lottery player dreams of winning a huge jackpot and spending the rest of their life living in luxury. Lottery players use a wide variety of methods to pick their 'lucky' numbers. In reality the chances of picking the right numbers is very slim and the odds are stacked against the player. For example the odds of hitting all the numbers in the Powerball lottery are 1 in 195,249,054.00 and the odds of a Mega Millions win are 1 in 175,711,536. Despite these odds there have been many big winners in both lotteries. Obviously every lottery player wants to maximize the chances of picking the right combination. There are a wide variety of methods available to lottery players; lottery wheeling, mathematical formulas, psychics and several others. Thanks to computer technology there are now many lottery software programs advertised on the internet but do they really work?

A quick Google search using the search term 'lottery software' yields 1,640,000 results. There are thousands of websites selling lottery software making outlandish claims. Almost every lottery software program seller guarantees their method will pick those 'lucky' numbers. It would appear at first glance that most of these programs analyze the history of individual numbers and divide them into 'hot' and 'cold' numbers. Most of these programs track how many times certain numbers have hit and make predictions based on the history of particular numbers. To do all this manually would take the typical player months and software technology allows a program to accomplish this in seconds. There are also several free lottery software programs available but most lottery software developers charge for their services.

Lotteries are pure games of chance and numbers are randomly selected. Most lotteries still use the old ball system and a few have taken advantage of computer technology and use random number generators. Lotteries take exceptional security measures to make sure drawings are random. The UK National Lottery has several lottery ball machines and which one is used is unknown until just before the draw takes place. History has shown that most big Powerball and Mega Millions winners have used the 'quick pick' option. This means that the player had his or her numbers selected by the random number generator available at lottery retailers. The hard cold truth is that no matter how sophisticated the lottery software program is, picking any numbers at random will be just as effective as the most complicated lottery software program. If someone had a sure fire way of winning lotteries there would be millions of multi millionaires.
