Some lotteries show hot and cold numbers charts on their site. Here's why you should stay away from them.

I'm going to explode one of lottery's greatest myths right now.

And you need to know it so you can finally forget about other bogus ideas and get winning quickly.

Some people believe that the lottery can be predicted using a theory called hot and cold numbers.

So let me explain first what they are.

Some players have discovered that there are popular lottery numbers which appear in almost every draw. 

And also that there are some numbers that never appear.

Some lotteries even show these numbers on their websites.

So the player works out when these 'best' numbers are likely to appear, avoid the others and take their bet.

They call these numbers Hot and Cold. 

HOT: These are numbers that have appeared recently, so they are expected not to appear for a while.

COLD: Numbers that haven't been used for a long time, so they are going to show up like a lost dog very soon.

But here's the real truth...

No matter how many draws, every ball combination that emerges from the barrel on draw night is there for the first time. 

They are never sitting there waiting for draw no. XXXX to come along.

And the proof...

There are very few winning combinations anywhere in the world's jackpot lotteries which are exactly duplicated.

Don't believe me? Select a number combination, then look for that exact match in your game going back to when records began.

It's very unlikely you'll find it more than once.

In another simplified example, it's unlikely you'll ever see the winning numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in a draw. 

But if that combination did appear once, then it's unlikely it will reoccur in that game.

So how does my System use past numbers to predict future ones?

I don't use exact numbers - just patterns.

When you use my Silver Lotto System and LottoPredict, you are getting the results from a pool of numbers that are partly based on the results and rules of past draws, but not of them.

The Silver Lotto System number combinations success is well above the law of averages because I have discovered an almost patent-pending method of reducing the unlikely numbers by a huge percentage.

That leaves the potentially good combinations for you to discover.

What's left is down to luck, sure, but it is as low as 1-2%. 

You can't get any better than that.

The answer is to forget hot and cold numbers or any other kind of number mumbo-jumbo. 

Use the number patterns from the Silver Lotto System that are proven to work.

This email asks a similar question:

Dear Ken, The one question I really wanted an answer to was if numbers have won 5 out of 6 numbers before, are they likely - or not likely - to win again... or should you steer clear of those numbers?

I hope I've explained it already.

You can't drive a car forwards looking in the rear vision mirror. And the lottery is the same.

It's unlikely that the same numbers will appear again, so you can play with confidence.

So if you think you can choose the numbers to next week's game by using past results as a guide, let me tell you it never works.

All these ‘hot and cold’ numbers, ‘popular’ numbers, and ‘least played’ numbers touted by other systems are plain wrong.

Historical number combinations don't mean much - because lotto balls don't have a memory.

So ignore the theory and stick to what works:

Ken, I played your Silver Lottery for 3 weeks and got $75,000 between 2 games. To say I'm amazed is an understatement. My family have just been told and it is like a giant birthday for them. I will be sending my daughter on a trip next weekend and paying the bills too. Thank you again for all your help.Joan (jw*********@yahoo.com)
