Already my grandparents, and/or my parents played Lotto again and again. That shouldn’t mean that I come from a gambling family. I have never played regularly, but I still spontaneously remember to fill out a lottery ticket.

The birthday numbers bring luck

I don’t have a particular strategy or standing order and sometimes I let the computer dial my lottery numbers, sometimes I don’t. For example, I think it’s lucky to use certain birthday numbers.

No big winnings so far, but that doesn’t matter

I haven’t won more in the lottery than 50 Euro on average. More than a threesome or a foursome is never in my game. This is probably due to luck. I don’t doubt the system, it’s just fun to play. I can influence lottery play more than, for example, scratch tickets or the like.

My daughter brings me luck

Because there is always a new draw in lottery play, which is also broadcast on television, the thing is very special fun. That’s why my six-year-old daughter is always there when we select and tick the numbers. On the one hand this has the advantage that my little mouse learns the numbers, on the other hand it always brings a lot of luck.

Directly in the tobacconist’s shop on site

We always fill out our lottery ticket in the nearby tobacconist’s shop of our settlement. Of course we do this by hand. Because I have my daughter with me, she can always decide which six lottery numbers are the right ones. Of course, the extra number is especially important. Whether we add the Joker or not, we don’t have to think about it for long, because that’s why we always mark yes without thinking anyway. I’ve often heard of people ticking no on the Joker, but that’s when those numbers came. That makes you angry with green and blue.

Simple rules

In lottery play, you have to choose six out of 49. This system is both simple and exciting. Because there is a lottery draw twice a week, we always manage to play in between. There is nothing more exciting than sitting in front of the TV with your receipt and watching the numbers being drawn. When we also have our own cross as a match, the joy is huge.

It’s just huge fun

I’ve found we’re not really about winning. Rather, it is the desire to gamble. When we actually win a few euros in a lottery game, we buy something nice with it. Most of the time it’s either a lollipop or an ice cream for my daughter, which rounds off the whole experience perfectly.

We always watch the TV show

It happens that we miss the TV show or the transmission of the drawn lottery numbers during our draw. But then I have the possibility to check the internet. After all, we want to know whether we have become millionaires or not. We never let too much time pass, because we have never forgotten anything like that. I always carry the receipt for my own lottery drawing in my personal wallet. So I always know where it is so it doesn’t get lost.

All family members join in

My husband also plays the lottery, but he decided to participate automatically every week. The numbers are determined by the computer. All in all, my husband has certainly won more or less with his system, but we haven’t gotten rich with it yet. We like to spontaneously go to the tobacconist’s, and I also have an eye on the costs. I usually pay cash and personally when I fill out my lottery ticket.

Lotto Bayern six out of 49

Of course, our provider is the Lotto Bayern six out of 49, which is the true classic that has been around for many years. There is certainly a reason for this, because I think the game is easy to understand. If you have a lucky hand, you can win millions. I will continue to play the lottery with my daughter in the future and always choose my numbers spontaneously, because that’s how I enjoy it the most.
