Lucky charms? Special numbers? Game rituals?
They may be entertaining, but they won’t increase your chances to win.
Lucky rituals.
Like wearing a lucky hat, doing funky dance moves, or enshrining good luck trolls. They’re fun. They get in your head. But not a single one changes the outcome of any game.
Chasing losses.
Don’t do it. Pursuing wins to compensate for recent losses with the mindset the next win’s right around the corner. It might not be. If you can’t afford to lose, you can’t afford to play.
Close Misses.
A ticket shows that it was off by one number to land that whale of a prize. Ooooh so close. Still, that doesn’t mean the next game will be any closer.
Due to win.
Convincing that a cold streak is about to snap. No guarantees.
Rural vs. urban.
Believing the only winners come from big cities. Just isn’t true. It’s not easier to win there. Bigger cities just have bigger populations and so more folks to play lottery games.
Bottom line:
Never count on any of these. Playing the lottery is a game of chance, not skill. Some myths are entertaining, but they don’t improve your odds to win. All games are random. Nothing’s guaranteed. Just have fun with it.
Use horseshoes for horseshoes, they aren’t a winning strategy.
