649 Numbers
Picking 649 numbers is a process that nearly every person has a different method for. Some people just like to pick numbers at random depending on how they are feeling on any given day. Others can’t be bothered to take the time to fill out the cards to pick their own numbers and instead just opt for a few quick picks that the computer will select at random for them. For other people though, having a specialized system based on important dates, a numerical method, or their own personal belief in luck is part of the fun of playing the lottery.
One of the most common ways that people select their 649 numbers is by playing their birthdays, or the birthdays of their family members. For example, for someone who was born on March 8th, their first two picks might be the numbers three and eight. Then, if that person’s wife was born on December 30th, they might also pick twelve and thirty. Other people will play the birthdays of the person they know who has a birthday in the given month. So for example, if it is April, and you have a friend whose birthday is the 17th, you would start by picking the numbers four and seventeen on your ticket.
Other people like to see what 649 numbers have been drawn in the past, and how often they have been selected. This information is available on a variety of websites. The interesting thing is that people deal with this information in two completely different ways. Some people like to see what numbers have been drawn most frequently, and because they feel these numbers are luckier, they select those numbers for their own ticket. Other people feel that the numbers that have been drawn the least are bound to get picked sooner or later, and so select those instead.
