Among the many basic lottery number mistakes that players should avoid are ticket patterns.

These are lines that form a pattern on the coupon, and they are really saying "I have no idea what I'm doing."

However, one of these patterns was made good by 6 lucky players of the UK National Lottery in a 2014 draw, and it won.

The total prize was £3.5 million, and each player received a £588,000 (US$748,000) share.

Don't fall for the latest pattern when you fill out your tickets. There is absolutely no substitute for a winning System.
