So how do you pick lucky numbers?
1. Choosing the birthdays of family or friends
For those who use birthdays, five of the most commonly drawn numbers are more than 31, meaning they are not likely to have picked them.

Another approach that is commonly used is to look for numbers that have not come up in a while.

Like birthdays, this is a common approach, steeped more in superstition than any real logic. But some people are naturally drawn to certain numbers in the same way they may have a favorite color.
4. Picking previous winning numbers
5. Pick the best-ever performing ticket
6. The appliance of science
There is a multitude of reading material giving advice about how to win the lottery.
