Aside from the Hollywood portrayal of time travelers going to the future to

pirate winning lottery numbers, picking the correct combination for a winning
ticket is generally accepted to be a matter of luck. But a new study, arguing
that not all combinations of numbers have the same probability, suggests
there could be an art to predicting the winning numbers.

Renato Gianella from Brazil used mathematics and probability theories to create a color
template that he said can help people identify combinations of numbers with a greater
likelihood to win.
You will learn that winning a lottery is not merely a matter of luck: by having the right
information you will be able to create game strategies. We will show you how to play in
a very simple and easy way, based on the fact that drawings are subordinated to a
behavior pattern, GianellasLotoRainbow tools website stated.
According to the article published in Biometric Brazilian Journal, the Power Ball
lottery in the United States, for example, has 19 groups of different probabilities, as
opposed to a single probability that applies to all possible combinations of numbers.
First, the LotoRainbow tool divides up numbers by colors.

same color template.

color template. (Image source: LotoRainbow)
From there, the tool describes different types of color template combinations.

Then, based on the game being played, a theoretical probability of a combination is
given. The below example shows the probability (in decreasing order) of the PP
combination in the Brazilian lottery game called Super Sena. It shows that there is a
theoretical probability of 38.27 percent that a PP combination will be the winning
numbers, meaning it would happen 38 out of every 100 drawings. This type of strategy
could help players narrow down the combination of numbers they could pick that could
result in a more likely win.

Describing these findings as the Geometry of Chance, the study said that while all
bets are equally likely, behavior patterns obey different probabilities, which can make all
the difference in the concept of games, benefitting gamblers that make use of the
rational information.
With this information, Gianella said that the lottery should no longer be seeing as a
form of a gambling but a true representation of the probabilistic theory and the Law of
Large Numbers.
