The internet is a wonderful tool for looking up past lottery numbers. You'll find various sources that will be very reputable and give you the possibility to have a look-at the previous and popular numbers. The first place to look is the official operator's website remember, to view what numbers are already drawn recently. In the event that you do this you will be able to, perhaps give yourself a system and work out what numbers are the best to play.

For example, looking at past lottery numbers will give you an idea of what numbers are popular, that are unpopular and which number sequences often appear. You can also investigate which bonus balls tend to be drawn and if that particular month has popular numbers. What do we do with this information? Some people would say that you should disregard it entirely because there just isn't a foolproof way of choosing winning lottery numbers. Therefore are we wasting our time in looking to find a set of numbers which will definitely win? Because none of us can predict them, remember?

At the same time, if we look at the evidence we can decide what is likely to come out again. There are actually two ways to think about this. On one hand we can state that a popular ball is a good choice because we know the equipment likes it and it more likely to be picked. But what if this ball has run out of luck? What if due to probability it's been picked a lot of times that it's unlikely to be chosen again? At the same time people would claim that the balls which are rarely drawn are bad luck and its pointless picking them but what if it means that it is their period to shine. You can either go for the numbers which are less more likely to come out or go for the ones which have been picked out a whole lot - which ever way you want to play it's up to you.

When looking online look for other clues - for example are you looking at the numbers for the midweek draw and also the weekend draws separately? Are you looking at the machines that will be doing the draws? How about the prize fund? Does it seem to make an alternative to the numbers drawn? We have already said the final results are largely random but this doesn't mean we can not attempt to apply some other pattern to it!

Do not forget that no system at all is foolproof. There are actually an abundance of websites offering some so called foolproof systems but you will discover in fact none - you will find web sites which provide you a system in return for a fee but anything that offers you a so called foolproof system is not telling the truth. There are actually lots of good books available which will offer some hints and tips on how to win of-course and feel free to read this if you'll need more ideas.
