When I was young and trying to stand on my own two feet, I dreamed of a big lottery win. The car I had wished for so long would finally be inside and I could fulfill my dream of my own horse. Besides, I wouldn’t have to rely on my parents anymore and could do exactly the things I enjoy for the rest of my life. So I played 6 out of 49 – 1 Euro per tip and draw. I could just afford that. At that time I thought to myself that statistically speaking I wouldn’t really have a higher chance if I tried a system… So I continued to play diligently twice a week in the small kiosk around the corner.

When I was in my mid-twenties I was out of the woods but unfortunately still without my long-awaited million-dollar win. Now I had however somewhat more money than at that time and also the necessary time to occupy myself more near with the topic Lotto. I studied mathematics. An important part of my studies is statistics. More precisely: probability theory. Here I used my knowledge for some self-experiments in Lotto.

The two most obvious systems are the full system and the subsystem.
I started to try the full system. This time I had also developed technically because now I booked my tickets directly on the site of Lotto.de. The full system gave me the possibility to type seven or more numbers per row. This could be continued up to max. 16. If I type for example 9 numbers and 3 rows and I have a triple, then I would have three times a triple. Unfortunately, I never had a threesome. And also no two. I remember that on a Wednesday I won 1.25 Euro only once. So I decided: A new system is needed!

My next attempt was the somewhat cheaper subsystem. 10/30 is quite simple; ten numbers are chosen and randomly distributed over 30 fields by the lottery company. The whole thing also works with 12/22 ; 11/66 and 12/132. So the combination of the individual numbers you choose yourself is not in the hands of the player. My stake was 30 Euro and actually! After the very first game I had him: My big win. It wasn’t the million but at least a proud 125.000,- Euro.

With this prize I fulfilled my dream of the horse – and that as a student! It was a great time and one thing is for sure; Lotto can work despite all the statistics because I have experienced it. Maths back – Maths back.

Even today I sometimes get carried away to a quick tip. It’s a note in which the numbers are selected by computer in a matter of seconds. So you no longer have to make this difficult decision yourself, which makes things really easy. Who knows – maybe he will come after all: The big million profit.
