Does mathematical calculations really work in lotto or is it just guess work?

[Assface16678]

Theres a thing about probability in math where you can compute how much probability you can have to win or posibly win in a lotto and I'd say you will not even reach 1% because there a lot of people who play lotto and also there millions of conjination or winning combination so even you could think of the possible combination in order to win lotto you will take a lot of tries and you may not even bet on all of it, so quit dreaming about winning a lotto with pure math equations or what, if you are the lucky one then you will most likely won a huge amount but if not then dont hope too much as there are millions of people that is also dreaming about winning a lotto in order to change their lives. It's okay to enjoy and play lotto as much as you want, but don't be too delusional and hopeful that you could win someday; it will only hurt you.

Well, if you know the theory of lotto, you would know that it's really hard to predict such numbers but having mathematical approach could increase your chances compared to just going out randomly with your number.

It's really hard to predict because the odds of hitting it are in the million range meaning near zero chance.

Probability as you said can be squared as odds, this is like in other words, odds tell us how possible it is for us to win a game, and how impossible it is as well, like we all know that the higher an odd is, the higher the risk of losing our money in that game, and the lower an odd is, the higher our chances of winning the game.
But still, probability does not remove the fact that winning and losing in gambling is remains that 50/50 chances, though are usually some factors that when considered and put into calculations, our chances of winning greatly reduces, and one of such factors is same as I have mentioned : odds.

But on the other hand, you are right and I agree with all that you have said; in general terms though.
Winning in lotto is not enough as it seems or appears, it's one of the simplest games to play in gambling (just guessing some numbers), but it's also one of the hardest to win.

There is a mathematical computation on Wikipedia, but all the calculations are just calculations. It doesn't guarantee anything,

The same article on Wikipedia also stated

There is only one known way to ensure winning the jackpot. That is to buy at least one lottery ticket for every possible number combination. For example, one has to buy 13,983,816 different tickets to ensure to win the jackpot in a 6/49 game.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics

Even the best mathematician cannot hit the jackpot in the modern lottery, the lottery will remain to be a luck based game and your chances you have to be extreme;y lucky to hit.

Do you think that people can calculate and predict the numbers that machines draw or they're just guessing and picking random number combinations?

Random numbers in lottery gambling only the devil/magic knows what numbers will come out, not mathematicians or mathematical scientists, in fact it is easy to prove to those who are experts in mathematical calculations, just invite them to a gambling house and tell them to calculate the lottery numbers that came out today, in fact they don't exist or maybe we will see every day mathematicians win millions of dollars every day for their calculations, but none of that exists.

If mathematicians really did it perfectly, I'm sure we would see every day lottery bookies closing their bets, due to bankruptcy, the fact that lottery gambling is growing rapidly, it proves that mathematicians don't work in lottery gambling, in fact it's easy to judge.

Or other things will be done by the gambling mafia, they will arrest mathematicians to guess lottery numbers or they will employ them to gamble or they themselves gamble, but none of that exists.

For me all types of games in gambling except sports betting require more luck than math calculations because in my opinion luck cannot be done by math because we never know when lucky will comes to us but probably for some people the mathematical calculations theory can be done in Lotto or lottery and this is interesting because i have one example that there are people who can gets a lot of money from Lotto because recently i have read the stories about Jerry Selbee and his wife that with his method Jerry Selbee can earn over than 26 million by simple method which he called as basic arithmetic because from this method he can predict the outcomes number in Lotto even he can predict the jackpot number and the way he did it at that time did not violate the law even this story was even made into a movie called Jerry & Marge Go Large but indeed i called these people is genius because not all people can have such skills

In my country I believe that there are more lotto shops and kiosks than sports bet shops, most Nigerians will be familiar with the popular Baba Ijebu lotto. If you come closer to any of these lotto shops and kiosks, you will notice gamblers of all ages, young and old busy calculating and coming up with probable combinations of numbers that can win. I notice that experienced forecasters and even scammers sells "sure numbers" and other gamblers will pay money to buy these numbers. Some times they win or one number or arrangements can spoil their tickets

Mathematics always work. But in math, we are talking about probability, not prediction. The probability of an event happening can be calculated but there is no 100% certainty of it happening. Predictions are impossible.

There are some individual that have won lottos more than one time and they didn't use any mathematical calculation but were just lucky. Lotto probabilities make it also a hard thing to do but there are some individual that can claim to have use mathematics to win but we can't prove they didn't use it but they still have to prove to us more than one time that using mathematics, you can win a lotto but those individual that depends on luck don't have to prove it as we can see the luck.

Having an option to choose between depending on mathematics to win a lotto or depending on luck, I'll choose luck as mathematics might not be able to win you the prize as there's no pattern that a lotto use to select their winners. The winners gets the prize from a fair system that selects it randomly. It isn't the same individuals that participate in the draws always.
