Number
combinations and the methods for
choosing them are as varied as the
people who play the Lottery. Some
people take the scientific approach
to picking numbers-they use traditional
strategies based on math or logic
such as tracking and wheeling.
Since many believe that the stars
and planets correlate with our lives
by their positions or aspects, many
people use astrology as a guide
to choosing numbers. Other people
use the ancient art of numerology
in their search for winning number
combinations.
The ancient art of numerology is
the study of the meanings of numbers.
Its exact origin is unknown, but
it predates the time of Christ and
was practiced by the Chaldeans of
southern Babylonia (southern Iraq).
Some believe that the mysterious
design of the Pyramids of Giza,
was, in part, based upon numerological
calculations.
Numerologist Jo Mason believes that
certain numbers crop up frequently
in a person's life. These may be
phone numbers, anniversaries or
addresses. But the most important
one of all is your birthday number.
The "Lucky Numbers" author
says there are two types of birthday
numbers-the primary and secondary
numbers, which are computed in different
ways.
Primary
Numbers
Although
some numerologists disagree as to
which of the birth numbers are of
greatest significance, the birth
date or the primary number, is generally
considered to be the most influential
number. Your primary number will
apply to you for your entire life
and in every aspect of it from the
lottery to significant events in
your life such as anniversaries,
births, weddings and important career
events.
Your primary number is simply your
birth date. If a person's birthday
was October 2, 1950 the primary
number is 2. If a person was born
on a double-digit date such as October
11, 1950, the primary number is
still 2, because in numerology,
numbers are always reduced to their
lowest value. For example, 11 becomes
1+1 or 2.
Secondary
Numbers
Your
secondary number, on the other hand,
is your other significant number.
Through trial and error, you can
use them both, and over a period
of time, decide for yourself which
one to use when picking your Lotto
numbers.
However, determining this number
is slightly more complicated than
figuring out your primary number.
To determine your secondary number,
add the numerical values of your
month, day and year of birth altogether.
Then reduce the total number as
previously shown.
So, a person born on October 2,
1950 will compute his or her secondary
number like this: month + date +
year.
October = 10 or 1+0= 1; the date
11 is reduced to 2; and 1950 is
1+9+5+0= 15 or 1+5 =6.
The equation is now: 1+2+6= 9.
Thus, the person's secondary number
is 9.
Playing
Your Birthday Numbers
When
trying to win a Lotto Jackpot with
your primary number, you can play
the number itself in combination
with other digits. A person with
a primary number of 6 may play 6
plus any other five numbers, such
as 13, 14, 19, 22 and 50.
An even better idea is to concentrate
on numbers with a value of 6. As
was illustrated previously, you
may use any compound number that,
when added and reduced, equals your
primary number. Our August 15 birthday
person could play any combination
of 5, 15 (1+5=6), 24 (2+4=6), 33
(3+3=6), 42 (4+2=6), 51 (5+1=6),
and 60 (6+0=6).
Another common way of using your
birthday numbers in the Lottery
is to simply list the day, month
and year. The person born on October
2, 1970, would play 10, 02, and
70-but since seventy is too high
to use in most games, the double-digit
could be reduced to 7.
