Would you like to win the UK National Lottery Jackpot?

For the third draw in a row, yesterday's lottery result 1;4;7;11;13;27 had all numbers below 30! Overall, there were quite a lot of winning tickets, generating less than average payouts. If you got 4 numbers right, you win £12, matching 5 balls and a bonus generated a mere £9,924 and guessing all six numbers would have given you £264,490! Such jackpot payout sits amongst the lowest 10 payouts in the whole of the UK National Lottery history. This draw was a perfect example of how people tend to choose low numbers, perhaps relating these to birthdays, anniversaries etc.

On contrary, on Friday 5 February Euromillions jackpot stands at a cool £85 million! Mega jackpot indeed! If won by a UK player, it will be the highest payout to date!

Catchalotto is currently focusing on lottery syndicates for the lotto game as the odds are far better. Let's try and get the lotto jackpot first, and then worry about chasing the Euro beast!

Whatever lottery game you play, good luck!

Syndicate Asta got £20 in prizes, not much we know, but covered Catchalotto top-up charge and the syndicate's ticket cost, so it's a breakeven draw. The winning combination 3;7;8;16;19;30 once again had all numbers below 30 but this time round lottery jackpot was won by 3 tickets. Roll on your sleeves, put thinking hats on, positive thinking, and wish luck to our next syndicate Drava.

Yesterday's drawn combination 2;16;17;18;27;28 had no winners, despite all numbers being below 31. There were too many consecutives for Lottorino's liking, hence low scoring.

So it's a Lotto rollover with an estimated jackpot of £7 million this Saturday. All the best everyone, keeping fingers crossed for Asta syndicate. Rollovers are perfect time to join a lottery syndicate - you can join Asta lottery syndicate here.

In other words, what is the lexicographical order of your combination? If we are to say, the first combination is 1;2;3;4;5;6, the second one 1;2;3;4;5;7, the third one 1;2;3;4;5;8, and so on, until combination number 13,983,816 is 44;45;46;47;48;49, where does a combination, say, 6;7;16;20;28;47 is situated? If you read our previous posts, you'd know the answer to this one (see here). But how about finding the position of any other lottery combination? Can you do it? If not, this article is for you.

Odd/even ratio is basically a spread of odd and even numbers in a lottery combination. It's one of the few methods of the lottery analysis that is very easy to spot and act upon should your chosen combination fall outside the most probable criteria. Below is the summary of all UK National lottery draws to date:

Well, it seems that the law of attraction works to some extent, our lottery syndicate Celieno has won a tenner! Not too exciting, but nevertheless a prize. The winning combination was also one number away from the next prize!

It brings us to one of the important aspects of the law of attraction: you should be very specific when it comes to asking the universe for what you want because the universe can't deliver on vague intentions. So we asked to win the lottery, and we got a tenner! Let's now fine-tune our wish a little bit, let's aim high! Remember to have no doubt that it is possible to achieve it, to put all the positive thinking into each word: “We would really like to win the lottery jackpot!”

Did you ever notice that many lottery winners say that they expected to win the lottery? The most recent example is Les Scadding who said he “always knew” he would win, it was just a matter of time!

This could be people talking with the benefit of hindsight, but it could be that the law of attraction is taking place! There are tons of literature written about the law of attraction, we will be covering some aspects of it from time to time, but today we wanted to give a small flavour of what the law of attraction is and how we could use it to win the lottery.

To date, the richest winner in the UK National Lottery Lotto game took home an incredible £22,590,829 after guessing correctly the lucky combination 12;15;26;44;46;49 in June 1995. A bit earlier that year, in January 1995, combination 7;17;23;32;38;42 produced the lowest ever jackpot payout of £122,510, and that's because a total 133 tickets had to share the first prize! Why so many tickets won on that night remains a mistery!

We introduced "Comments" function found at the bottom of each article. You can now put your thoughts forward, wish everyone luck etc! Let's hear it!

This Wednesday, the 2nd of December, it is a lotto rollover with an estimated £7.4m! Good luck to syndicate Metallah! We keep guessing right 2 numbers in each syndicate, and last night syndicate member radicoli in syndicate Argonavis, apart from getting 2 numbers right, was 1 number away on 2 last numbers, meaning this combination could potentially have trapped 4 winnings numbers. Obviously, it is easier said than done, let's just hope we will get all the winning numbers in one line soon (preferably in syndicate Metallah!)

Here at Catchalotto, apart from running and managing lottery syndicates, we like to bring you lottery news, lottery analysis or techniques of number selection, analysis of all combinations drawn so far, lottery wheeling etc. Today we thought we give you a little weird fact.

Today, we are going to look at the distribution of sums and how you can use this method to increase your chances of winning the lottery.

Sum is basically the result you get when you add up all six numbers of a lotto combination. So in 6/49 lottery, the lowest sum of 21 is made from 1;2;3;4;5;6 lottery combination, and the highest possible sum of 279 is attained from 44;45;46;47;48;49. The most frequent sum is 150 whereby 165,772 lotto combinations will add up to it! If you were to draw all sums and their frequencies on one chart, you would get a normal distribution bell curve, similar to one shown in red here. The blue lines within the bell curve are the actual distribution of sums of all UK lotto combinations drawn to date (click on the picture to zoom in).

It's a lotto rollover on the 25th of November 2009. Jackpot is estimated to be £7.5m! There is still time and available places to join our syndicate Alshemali. Good luck!
