Choosing the winning numbers in Mega Millions is the key to winning the big prize. Mega Million offers prizes, anything from for matching one number up to million or infinite amounts of money if there have been many rollovers - this is the magic of the lottery. There is no discrimination no matter whom you are, what you do, how often you play, your age, race, gender etc. you can still win the lottery as long as you have a ticket.
How do you pick your winning numbers though for the Mega Millions draw? Well there are various ways - some people prefer to pick their numbers by thinking of important things and that includes birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. Others are more inventive and pick their winning numbers by thinking of telephone numbers, flight numbers, bank numbers, pet related numbers (birthdays, days they acquired them). Some people have dreamt of numbers and made a note of them with the intention of buying a lucky ticket with the numbers; some people have checked their star signs and use astrology to decide which numbers to buy. This includes Chinese astrology and other styles of readings - it depends entirely on your interests.
Others prefer and believe that random numbers are the luckiest ways to pick because at the end of the day the lottery is a completely random thing. So some people will pick a set that they have never picked before from week to week. Some people will let the machine pick an easy play selection (the machines will pick a random selection for you) or some people will do their own random selections. Ways to do this include using the internet (there are lots of random number generators) and software that is for choosing lottery numbers. You can also create your own raffle type lottery at home by putting pieces of paper in a box and picking them out yourself so the result is random - sometimes when we think we are picking randomly, we aren't, we are naturally drawn to numbers that have significance to us like birthdays and numbers we perceive to be lucky.
Some scientists and people who study lottery numbers think that winning ones are more likely to be random than contrived. The thing with numbers that we play is that most of us are likely to have the same lucky numbers like 7 for example, is universally popular. Picking the same numbers as someone else means that there is more of a chance of sharing out a jackpot prize when it comes to it - this is a reason why you should always keep your numbers to yourself where possible and don't buy the same set of numbers as your best friend because you would be sharing whatever prize there is out there (this is a problem with he jackpot which Is variable). Check with your spouse your lottery numbers aren't the same as this would be a waste of the cost of the ticket.
