Number combinations and the methods for
choosing them are as varied as the people who play the
Lottery. Some people take the scientific approach to
picking numbers-they use traditional strategies based
on math or logic such as tracking and wheeling.
Since many believe that the stars and planets correlate
with our lives by their positions or aspects, many people
use astrology as a guide to choosing numbers. Other
people use the ancient art of numerology in their search
for winning number combinations.
The ancient art of numerology is the study of the meanings
of numbers. Its exact origin is unknown, but it predates
the time of Christ and was practiced by the Chaldeans
of southern Babylonia (southern Iraq). Some believe
that the mysterious design of the Pyramids of Giza,
was, in part, based upon numerological calculations.
Numerologist Jo Mason believes that certain numbers
crop up frequently in a person's life. These may be
phone numbers, anniversaries or addresses. But the most
important one of all is your birthday number. The "Lucky
Numbers" author says there are two types of birthday
numbers-the primary and secondary numbers, which are
computed in different ways.
Primary Numbers
Although some numerologists disagree
as to which of the birth numbers are of greatest significance,
the birth date or the primary number, is generally considered
to be the most influential number. Your primary number
will apply to you for your entire life and in every
aspect of it from the lottery to significant events
in your life such as anniversaries, births, weddings
and important career events.
Your primary number is simply your birth date. If a
person's birthday was October 2, 1950 the primary number
is 2. If a person was born on a double-digit date such
as October 11, 1950, the primary number is still 2,
because in numerology, numbers are always reduced to
their lowest value. For example, 11 becomes 1+1 or 2.
Secondary Numbers
Your secondary number, on the other
hand, is your other significant number. Through trial
and error, you can use them both, and over a period
of time, decide for yourself which one to use when picking
your Lotto numbers.
However, determining this number is slightly more complicated
than figuring out your primary number. To determine
your secondary number, add the numerical values of your
month, day and year of birth altogether. Then reduce
the total number as previously shown.
So, a person born on October 2, 1950 will compute
his or her secondary number like this: month + date
+ year.
October = 10 or 1+0= 1; the date 11 is reduced to
2; and 1950 is 1+9+5+0= 15 or 1+5 =6.
The equation is now: 1+2+6= 9.
Thus, the person's secondary number is 9.
Playing Your Birthday Numbers
When trying to win a Lotto Jackpot
with your primary number, you can play the number
itself in combination with other digits. A person
with a primary number of 6 may play 6 plus any other
five numbers, such as 13, 14, 19, 22 and 50.
An even better idea is to concentrate on numbers with
a value of 6. As was illustrated previously, you may
use any compound number that, when added and reduced,
equals your primary number. Our August 15 birthday
person could play any combination of 5, 15 (1+5=6),
24 (2+4=6), 33 (3+3=6), 42 (4+2=6), 51 (5+1=6), and
60 (6+0=6).
Another common way of using your birthday numbers
in the Lottery is to simply list the day, month and
year. The person born on October 2, 1970, would play
10, 02, and 70-but since seventy is too high to use
in most games, the double-digit could be reduced to
7.
