If you are serious about playing Oz Lotto – or any other 7-ball lottery worldwide – here are some Rules I suggest you follow.

1. PLAY WITHIN YOUR MEANS. Try to play as many numbers as possible. In Oz Lotto (45 numbers) seven individual games of 7 numbers enables you to play all 45 numbers, plus 4 a second time.

2. ODDS & EVENS Keep a 50/50 balance. Have at least 3-odd and 3-even numbers.

Again, keep a 50/50 balance between high numbers and low numbers. Make sure you have at least 3-high and 3-low numbers. If you are playing the 10-number system in my book, have at least 4-high and 4-low in each set of ten ” preferably 5-high and 5-low.

Limit your consecutive numbers, no more than three consecutive numbers in the 10-number system, no more than two consecutive numbers in the 9-number system or a straight 7-number game.

5. REPEATS FROM PREVIOUS WEEK No more than two numbers from the previous weeks winning numbers in any set of 10/9/7 numbers. If you are playing multiple sets of 10 numbers (or 9 numbers), spread last weeks winning numbers out over the different sets.

Please note that a set of winning numbers like 1-11-21-31-41-42-43 (ie, 5 numbers ending in “1″) is very unusual. Try to keep the numbers spread, as in 1-12-15-16-27-32-40 ” two ‘end numbers’ the same is fine, but no more than 3 in a set of 10, no more than 2 in a set of 9/8/7.

7. BALANCE Try to keep 3-4 numbers in the range 1-15, 3-4 numbers in the range 16-30, and 3-4 numbers in the range 31-45 for the 45-ball Oz Lotto.
