How to Win the Lotto
Gaming Strategies Explained

Dear Lotto Gamer,
With this gaming innovation, you can play 20 or more
numbers and expect to win multiple prizes. Not only is it
simple, it is also cheap and comes with guarantees. These
features made wheeling the most common element in any
gaming strategy I’ve seen.
Recently, I met someone who’s been using the standard
and very expensive full System 12. It cost P9,240 to play.
They thought this is the only way to win. Would you believe
there is a way to play the same 12 numbers for only P180?
Amazing, isn’t it?
Imagine for a while how effective your gaming would be
with a system that is 98% cheaper. With such a system, you
can afford to play with as many as 25 numbers many times
over. You can probably get all six winning numbers in your
chosen 25 much sooner.
My fellow Lotto gamer, let me invite you to join the
Rounders Lotto Club. Join us because we’re doing more
than just imagining the possibilities. We’re actually organizing to make things happen.
Sincerely,
Hannibal “Hans” Bawagan
Club Organizer and Manager
P.S. Winning the jackpot can take forever. If you can’t wait
that long, join us in finding a shortcut.

Because of this, I’d say, “Yes. It’s possible to win the
jackpot.” In fact, more jackpots are now won this way in the
U.S. and anywhere else in the world. Not surprisingly, most
are likely to be Lotto clubs.

If you’re like me and many Lotto gamers, you need more
than luck to win the Lotto jackpot. You need a system. In my
research, I discovered the Lotto gaming system used by
professionals. It’s an innovation called wheeling.
Professionals only gamble
when the odds are acceptable.

What Professional Gamers Know

I
n 1985, Gail Howard published her book Lottery
Master Guide and introduced a gaming system
that changed the way people played lotteries
forever. Since then, others introduced variations of
the system and Lotto gaming became a worldwide
phenomenon.
Lotto Gaming Secret
The Dimitrov Wheeling System or wheeling, as it is
now popularly called, is a system for playing a set
of combinations that are systematically arranged
and conditionally guaranteed to win specific
prizes. Today, wheeling is the one innovation that
truly revolutionized Lotto gaming. And by far, it is
the most common element in any gaming system or
strategy.
Wheeling is the one innovation
that revolutionized Lotto gaming.
All lotteries allow you to play some kind of
system. In fact, it takes one tick mark in our Lotto
betting slips to play System 7 to 12. But please
take note that these are full systems. This means
when playing System 12 you will bet on all the
possible combinations of your chosen 12 numbers.
There are 924 combinations. So, a full System 12
will cost P9,240 to play.
In contrast, an equivalent
wheel (#505) in Gail Howard’s
book, Lotto: How to Wheel a
Fortune, takes only 18 combinations to play at a cost of P180.
And it guarantees at least 4
numbers matching when you have
5 of the 6 winning numbers in
your chosen 12.
Here is Wheel #505 at work with Lotto 6/42
July 12, 2005 winning numbers and some extra 6
numbers. Although the jackpot was not won with
this wheel, there were multiple second prizes won
(indicated by 3 check marks). In all, for the cost of
P180, this system bet won an impressive P61,620.

Lotto Gaming Explained
When you start wheeling, it becomes obvious what
Lotto gaming is all about. Most gamers think that
the game is about picking 6-number combinations
by combining some 40 or so numbers together.
That is your intention, but what actually happens is
very different.
To demonstrate what actually happened, let us
suppose for a moment that you decided to bet on
the following three combinations:
3-5-18-23-37-40;
5-11-14-18-19-23, and;
3-11-14-19-37-40.
Whenever you do this, you are using more than
6 different numbers. Three frames on the betting
slip means that you are playing with 8-18 numbers.
In this case, there are actually 9 distinct numbers
in play. So, this could actually be considered a
partial System 9.
Although you are guessing which combinations
are likely to win the jackpot, what you are actually
doing is trapping the 6 winning numbers within
the 9 numbers that you think will be drawn. If you
did not use wheeling to arrange the numbers, you
may not win anything even if you correctly trapped
all the 6 winning numbers. But if you did, you are
guaranteed to win a minor prize.
The above 3 combinations actually came from a
wheel with a 4if5 guarantee. This means that if you
got 5 or more numbers correctly 4 of these numbers
will be together and you will win at least one 3rd
prize. Since Lotto wheels with stronger guarantees
are more expensive to play, we will only use
wheels with a 4if6 guarantee.
Wheeling Explained
If certain conditions happen, you will win one or
more minor prizes. This is what wheeling actually
delivers—conditional guarantee. What makes this
amazing is the cost. For as little as 2% of the cost
of the full system, you can play like professionals.
There are many kinds of wheels to choose from
depending on your budget. However, any wheel can
be described in this format: 4if5in12n18c. This
means 4 numbers will match if the 5 winning
numbers (4if5) are among your 12 chosen numbers
(in12n) using 18 combinations (18c). The last part
(18c) determines the cost of the wheel. You simply
multiply it by P10.
In practice, you will be playing several sets of
wheels. The table below shows the odds of
trapping the 6 winning numbers within your
chosen set. You can use these odds to estimate or
improve your overall chances of winning.

135 : 1
283 : 1
655 : 1
1747 : 1
5677 : 1
Let us suppose you are using a System 24
wheel. In the table, the odds are 39:1. That’s about
a 2.5% chance of trapping the 6 winning numbers
in your chosen 24. If you have the money to play
one full System 12 (that’s about P9,240), you can
actually play this wheel 5 times and bring the odds
down to 8:1 or about 13%.
On the other hand, let us suppose you prefer to
use an equivalent System 12 wheel. In the table,
the odds are 5,667:1. The same betting capital will
therefore allow you to play this wheel 51 times and
bring the odds down to 111:1 or a little less than
1%.
The apparent disparity in the effectiveness of
both wheels should not be surprising because it is
obvious that a larger wheel is better than a smaller
wheel when it comes to the trapping process.
However, when it comes to catching the winning
combination, the smaller wheel has better odds.
Professionals only gamble
when the odds are acceptable.
This is where a gaming strategy will prove
most useful. In later sections, you will learn how
these issues of quantity and quality of combinations are factored into any given gaming strategy.
In summary, the starting point for any gamble
is the appreciation of the odds. As a matter of
principle, professionals only gamble when the odds
are acceptable.
Concentrated betting
has better chances of winning.

Theory of Winning
How is Winning Probable
T
rying to win the lotto can take forever. In fact,
the mathematics of the game proves that it is
virtually impossible to win. This section explores a
creative solution to the problem.
Minor Prizes are Good
You can win multiple prizes when wheeling for
combinations as shown in the featured example on
page 4. Apparently, one small wheel is enough to
recover a large outlay of betting capital.
If you will examine this example, you will
notice that the 5-number match 17-18-21-30-33 is
found 3 times on the wheel. The 4-number match
17-18-21-30 is also found 3 times. This happens
because wheels are designed to deliver guarantees.
A 4if5in12n wheel like this one can only deliver on
its promise if the numbers are arranged with
repeating groups.
One wheel is enough
to win your target prize..
In practice, you can win just a few of the total
216 5-number matches and about 9,450 4-number
matches possible. This is because wheels tend to
get really expensive in delivering guarantees. So,
the real challenge is how to make your chosen
wheels work efficiently at hitting those combinations. Read Majority Wins on page 10 for a very
promising solution to this problem.
More Combinations are Better
Let us, for a moment, assume that there is only one
player in the game and we are not paying for our
guesses. How can this one player win? Simple. Bet
as many unique combinations as possible.
It is obvious from this idealized scenario that
the right approach in this game is for all the
players to cooperate and combine all their bets. In
theory, the number of unique combinations is much
higher when players cooperate in a group than
when players compete as individuals.
To promote cooperation, some kind of lotto
club with a growing roster of members is the ideal
organization. Read Organized Gaming on page
17 to understand why cooperation is a good
strategy and why it will ultimately lead to the
jackpot.
Perfect Timing is Best
There is a person behind the winning
numbers. At a given point in time,
somebody was lucky enough to pick a
certain combination of numbers and
placed a bet. In theory, this person
can be found because “lucky” signals
manifest themselves all around us.
In practice, age-old astrology can provide clues
on what to look for. Read Lead Gamer on page
20 to find out what “lucky” signals a $50,000
lottery winner projects.
Incidentally, the same techniques and tools
used in astrology can also be used to choose
periods in the future that are favorable for
speculation. Read Gaming Season on page 24
for details about how to find your lucky days.
Winning the jackpot is all about the
quality, quantity and timing of bets.
All in all, our theory of winning the jackpot
depends on how well we manage the three
elements of any credible jackpot attempt—quality,
quantity and timing of bets.
You Should Know That…
The odds of winning the jackpot in Lotto 6/42
are 5,245,786:1. But the odds of winning any
prize are 35:1.
Only 46% of all Lotto 6/42 combinations match
the profile of a winning combination.
In Lotto 6/42, the most probable sum is 129.
The most probable range is 100-158.
In 85% of past winning numbers, the least
number belongs to the 1-10 range.
Four pairs of sequenced numbers have never
been drawn. This means that 1-2-3-4-5-6 with
5 sequenced pairs, is not a good pick.
When the winning combination has low
numbers, there are usually multiple jackpot
winners.
Game Statistics
How to Overcome the Odds
T
he odds of winning any prize in Lotto 6/42 are
35:1. This means that in a month or so of
betting, you are likely to win a prize. This section
demonstrates the problems a Lotto gamer has to
overcome.
Lotto Odds
As mentioned earlier, professionals only gamble
when the odds are acceptable. Unfortunately, Lotto
game designers wanted the game to be as nearly
impossible to win as they could design it as shown
in the table below.

confronted with these odds.

Odds

Bringing the odds down to an acceptable level,
say 1000:1, requires a bet of P52,500. At this level
of betting, the odds are similar to the 3-digit lottery
game. Even better, with this much betting capital
you can play System 12 many times over. For
example, the featured wheel on page 4 costing
P180 can be played 291 times. This will bring the
trapping odds down to 20:1.
In practice, the gaming systems presented in
this publication are best implemented within the
context of a Lotto Club. This is how professionals
do it. If you choose to try them personally or with a
small group, we can only offer them with this
warning—you should be aware of the odds against
you.
Basic Statistics
The winning combination 17-18-21-26-30-33 for
Lotto 6/42 on July 12, 2005 has the following
observable characteristics:
3 odd numbers (17-21-33) and 3 even
numbers (18-26-30);
3 low numbers (17-18-21) and 3 high
numbers (26-30-33);
a total sum of 145;
6 different endings (7, 8, 1, 6, 0, 3), and;
one sequenced pair (17-18).
A tally of the 5.2 million combinations in Lotto
6/42 will reveal that odd numbers will mix with
even numbers as shown in the table below.

You should know that these statistics about
combinations are static and known in advance. This
means that the averages—both theoretical and
actual—won’t vary much from each other over a
period of time.
Read the section Picking Rules on page 11 to
see how statistical data were used.
Picking Process
Every Tuesdays and Saturdays, one winning 6/42
combination is drawn. Together, all these winning
combinations form a list or sequence that has one
or more observable characteristics. These observable characteristics actually describe the picking
process.
By picking process, we refer to, as a whole, all
the various procedures and equipment employed by
the organizers to assure that the outcome of the
draw is truly random.
The most common statistics about the picking
process is the statistics on skip counts. This is the

Another common use for skip groups is
tracking “cold” numbers or those numbers out the
longest. This is the 17+ skip group. To anticipate
their appearance, you need to observe if the group
has 3 or more numbers. As the group gets bigger,
the probability of one number being drawn from
this group becomes higher. True enough. As of July
12, 2005, the table shows 3 numbers in the 17+
skip group. On July 16, 2005, two numbers were
drawn from this group.
At this point, it should be noted that unlike the
statistics about combinations, statistical data
gathered about the picking process are dynamic.
This means that you need to collect or update your
data every draw.

How to Double Your Winnings
L
otto wheels are designed to deliver minimum
guarantees. Rarely, if ever, will they deliver
more. This section is about doubling the prizewinning power of your chosen wheels.
but it alters the odds of the wheel. The better
solution is to replace the bad types with good ones
and fill up your chosen wheel until you have the
target number of combinations. This will transform
an ordinary wheel into some sort of “super” wheel
that is densely packed with good combinations. See
the next page for the comparative performance of
both types of wheels.
Rule
Wheeling Mistakes
Types of Combinations. Lotto gamers are under
the impression that every type of combination in a
given wheel has equal probability of being drawn.
This is wrong. Statistical data clearly show that
certain types are more likely to be drawn than
others. In Lotto gaming, these statistical favorites
are considered good combinations. As a rule, you’d
like to put your money that good combinations will
be drawn.
Picking Rules. The most common mistake of
many gamers is to apply picking rules that favor
individual numbers or combinations against
another. This is wrong because discriminating
between good combinations is not supported by any
statistical data available. However, we can favor
one type of combination over another type. This is
the correct approach. In practice, this means
filtering out bad combinations.
Super Wheel
If you will analyze each of the combinations of the
featured wheel on page 4, you will notice that more
than half are bad types. This means that these
combinations are less likely to be drawn according
to the picking rules shown on the opposite page.
As a rule,good combinations
are drawn more often.
Shown on this page is a complete analysis of
the featured wheel. Only 4 out of 18 combinations
appear to be good types. Apparently, this low ratio
of good types is a weakness or flaw inherent in all
Lotto wheels.
One improvement to consider is to simply
remove or ignore the bad types and bet only on the
remaining combinations. This is a good solution,

To start the process, you need to have several
blank wheels to feed different rearrangements of
the same game tokens. By rearranging the game
tokens and feeding the numbers into the wheeling
slots, you can get additional combinations for the
super wheel. However, each new set of combinations will likely have bad types as well. So, you
have to repeat the filtering process several times.
Shown next are the 3 rearrangements of the
game tokens used to fill up the featured wheel with
good combinations. The first one, of course, is the
original arrangement.
5-15-17-18-21-25-26-27-30-33-35-37;
26-27-30-33-35-37-5-15-17-18-21-25;
37-35-33-30-27-26-25-21-18-17-15-5, and;
25-21-18-17-15-5-37-35-33-30-27-26.
PICKING RULES
F
or every criteria, good combinations account for
majority of all possible combinations. This
means that for every one good combination you
pick there are 7 more that are equally probable to
be drawn. Therefore, these picking rules are not
intended for picking good combinations, but rather
to filter out bad combinations.
__________________________________________
1 The sum of the numbers must be 100-158
The most probable sum in Lotto 6/42 is 129
and the most probable range is 100-158. So far, the
lowest sum for any winning combination is 44 and
the highest is 215.
_________________________________________
2 No more than 4 or 5 odd numbers; or
even numbers; or upper half (>22); or
lower half (<22)
The odd-even mix statistics on page 8 show
that the 2-4, 3-3 and 4-2 mix of numbers account
for 82% of all combinations. As a group, these
combinations are most probable.
Please take note that you are using this rule for
either the odd-even mix or for the high-low mix,
but not for both.
_________________________________________
3 No more than 2 or 3 numbers with the
same ending
4 No more than 1 or 2 pairs of numbers
with the same ending
A sequence of numbers with an interval of 10
like 1-5-15-25-35-42 is a combination with the
same endings. In this case, there were 4 numbers
ending in 5. Combinations with 3 numbers having
the same endings are drawn every 10-20 draws, but
2 numbers with the same is very frequent.
________________________________________
5 No more than 3 numbers in sequence or
regular interval
6 No more than 1 pair of numbers in
sequence or regular interval
The combination 1-2-3-4-5-6 is a bad pick. It
has a sequence of 6 numbers, but the maximum
sequence drawn so far is only 4. As rule, you
should have no more than 3 numbers in sequence.
Likewise, it is best to avoid regular sequences
similar to 1-2-3-4-5-6 like 2-4-6-8-10-12, which is
a sequence of even numbers, or 1-3-5-7-9-11, a
sequence of odd numbers.
_________________________________________
7 At least 1 number in 1-12 or 31-42 range
In 85% of the draws, one of the winning
numbers belongs to the 1-10 or 33-42 range. In
90%, it’s in the 1-12 or 31-42 range. And in 95%,
it’s in the 1-14 or 29-42 range.
_________________________________________
8 No more than 2 numbers from any skip
groups with skips 0 to 5 and 17+
9 No more than 3 numbers from the skip
group 6-16
Half the time, one of the numbers from the
preceding draws will be drawn again. But skip
count statistics show that, at most, only 3 numbers
for any skip groups will be drawn together.
Maintain an updated skip groups table so you
can tell which numbers are unlikely to be together
in the next draw.
_________________________________________
0 No combination from the past 600+ draws
No winning combination ever repeated itself. It
will take years for this to happen. So, you can
safely filter out all the winning combinations from
the past draws.
________________________________________
WARNING: These picking rules apply only to
Lotto 6/42. Different picking rules are needed for
both MegaLotto 6/45 and SuperLotto 6/49.
Shown next is the completed super wheel after
repeatedly wheeling different arrangements of the
game tokens. You will notice that, compared to the
original ordinary wheel, this super wheel has more
2nd prizes won. This accounts for the significant
increase in the total winnings.

A worksheet with a blank 4if6in12n6c wheel
can be found with this publication. For individual
players and small groups, this is the recommended
wheel to use. Although larger and stronger wheels
usually offer bigger overall winnings, the table
above proves that weaker wheels offer better costbenefit ratio and better performance improvement.
The 36-fold increase in the winnings for one third
of the betting capital employed by the weaker
wheel clearly suggests that it is the better bet.

Applying the same technique to a weaker
4if6in12n6c wheel also yielded a similar improvement in the prize-winning power of the wheel. As
is, the ordinary wheel managed to win P580 only.
As a super wheel, it was able to win a total of
P21,060 by catching one 2nd prize and two 3rd
prizes.

In any given draw, there are only 216 combinations
that can win 2nd prize and these are all combinations that matches 5 of the winning numbers. The
key to winning the jackpot is to understand that the
jackpot combination is also a 5-number match, but
with the 6th number also matching the winning
combination.
In theory, a wheel with lots of 5-number
matches will likely win the jackpot. This means
that a 5if6 wheel is the ideal trap for catching the
elusive winning combination.
In theory, lots of 5-number matches
in a wheel will win the jackpot.
Shown on the next page is the result of feeding
the previous 12-number game tokens into a
5if6in12n42c wheel. The completed super wheel
yielded the jackpot combination in the 24th line.
Due to space constraints, a blank 5if6in12n42c
wheel cannot be shown here. However, this wheel
is available to registered members of the club.
So far, super wheeling as a gaming technique
worked remarkably with smaller wheels. However,
it may be possible to get the same results with
larger wheels like a 5if6in16n280c wheel—the
largest 5if6 wheel in Gail Howard’s book—or a
slightly weaker 4if5in20n216c wheel—the largest
4if5 wheel in the same book. In any case, the
promising results of the super wheel deserve
further study. But in this regard, it is up to you to
explore the promise of this gaming technique.
Game Tokens
Your chosen set of numbers—or game tokens—is
the single most important factor in wheeling. If you
can trap the 6 winning numbers in your chosen set,
the jackpot is only a few combinations away.
Unfortunately, there is no accepted method of
choosing entire sets of game tokens. However, one
characteristic of pick-6 Lotto offers a promising
solution: There are only, at most, 6 different
endings in any given combination. Obviously, you
need to somehow trap the winning endings in a
chosen set of fewer than 10 endings.
Statistical data show that about 80% of the
time, the winning combination has fewer than 6
different endings. And 50% of the time, it has 5
different endings. This means that a certain mix of
game tokens is needed to match specific types of
combinations.
Shown below is a table of the recommended
mix of endings for a given set of tokens. E1, E2 and
so on are the different endings you need to choose.
This means that for a 12-number wheel you have to
choose 6 different endings.

If you follow the table above, it is clear that a
set of 12-numbers does not leave much room for
error. However, if you regularly bet around P100,
you may be able to overcome this by playing
another but slightly different set.
Although this process of choosing game tokens
does not improve the overall odds of the game, it
offers a way by which the player’s performance
might be measured or compared over a period of
time. In a wider context, two players can also be
compared.
Gaming Strategies
How to Play and Win
W
inning your target prize in Lotto requires
playing the right strategy at the right time.
This section discusses the two types of Lotto
gaming strategies possible and how best to play
these strategies.
Levels of Gaming
Shown below is a plotted diagram (not drawn to
scale) of the different levels of gaming possible in
Lotto. In the diagram, Levels A, B and C are
typical games played by individuals using only one
instance of specially chosen wheels.
E
Wheels
D
A B
C
Combinations
Level A is the basic System 12 game using a
small 4if6in12n6c wheel. As is, it is designed to
win 3rd prize, but as a super wheel, it can win 2nd
prize and multiple 3rd prizes. (See the Lotto
Worksheet at the center pages for the actual
wheel.)
Level B uses a larger wheel, but with the same
4if6 guarantee as the Level A game. A cheaper
System 15 wheel—4if6in15n10c—is found in the
Lotto Worksheet. It is cheaper because it uses a
banker number to reduce the number of combinations. With this wheel, the odds of trapping the 6
winning numbers are 1,048:1. This is 5 times
better than the basic wheel, but also 5 times worse
at catching a prize. However, this wheel is very
useful if your analysis shows one number will
“surely” be drawn.
Level C is a strong System 12 game using a
5if6in12n42c wheel. As is, it is designed to win 2nd
prize, but as a super wheel, it can win the jackpot
as demonstrated in the previous section. (This
wheel is available only to registered members.)
Levels D and E are aggressive games used by
groups of players using multiple instances of
specially chosen wheels. These games hunt for
multiple 2nd prizes and the jackpot, respectively.
Level D is a basic System 12 hunting game. It
plays the Level A 4if6in12n6c wheel several times
depending on the target trapping odds as shown in
the table below. The objective is to win 2nd prize
with minimal betting capital. (For this, you will be
using the Lotto Worksheet provided with this
booklet.)

Level E is the Lotto Club system. It uses strong
5if6 wheels played literally a hundred times or
more to win the jackpot. At this level of play,
thousands of combinations are picked and printed
in hundreds of betting slips.
Waiting Game
Shown below is a typical betting pattern for
someone using a waiting game strategy. And after
this is the concentrated and more efficient betting
pattern focused on the Lotto 6/42 game—the game
with the best odds among the local lotto games.

Sat
Typical Betting Pattern
More Efficient Betting Pattern
Mathematically, concentrated betting patterns
have better odds of winning. As shown in the
diagram, this means more combinations played on
fewer days preferably on games with the lowest
odds.
Concentrated betting patterns
have better odds of winning.
If you intend to keep on playing regularly, you
need to follow these rules:
1 Focus on a smaller target of combinations
like those that only have 3 odd and 3 even
numbers—these account for 34% of all
combinations;
2 Tighten or be strict with your picking rules
like narrowing the sum range from 100-158
to 105-153 and allowing only at most one
pair of numbers with the same endings or
one pair of sequenced numbers);
3 Maintain a list of winning numbers and pick
your game tokens from the skip count data or
statistics;
4 Use the smaller 4if6in12n6c wheel in this
primer and play it only once in any given
draw, and
1 Practice trapping the 6 winning numbers
within your chosen 12 using 6 pairs of
numbers with the same endings as explained
in the Game Tokens section.
Hunting Game
The hunting game strategy applies to lotto clubs,
professional gamers and those who play only when
the jackpot has grown to a certain size.
The key to making this strategy work is the
appropriate level of betting. The idea is to bring
down the odds to an acceptable level. The objective
is to win either of the major prizes. The fallback is
the possibility that the chosen lotto wheel will win
multiple prizes.
So, you need to be proficient, or at least, aware
how to factor the odds into your game. Read the
section Winning the Jackpot on page 18 for
more details.
Except for what has been mentioned in the
preceding section, all techniques presented in this
primer will make this strategy more efficient and
effective.
The Science of Gaming
Lotto is fairly simple game, right? You only need to
guess what winning combination will be drawn out
of the millions of possible combinations. If you
guess right, you win the jackpot. This is not
entirely correct.
Knowing the odds and various statistics about
Lotto is not the same as knowing the game itself.
Statistics and probability do not study games and
how they are best won. They only study collections
of objects and random events.
Game theory is the branch of mathematics that
is dedicated to the study of cooperative and noncooperative games. Shown below is the game
Prisoner’s Dilemma, a well-known game studied
by game theorists.
Classifying lotto games according to game
theory led us to the zero-sum game. This is the one
type of game that bears a strong resemblance to
lotto gaming. Read the next section Organized
Gaming for more details.
According to game theory,
cooperation is the best strategy.
If we are to follow the proposed solution for
zero-sum games, the waiting game and hunting
game strategies discussed in the preceding sections
are inadequate. The demands of zero-sum games
practically dictate that cooperation should be part
of the strategy.
Insights from game theory, confirms our official
position: Cooperation, not competition, is the best
strategy. „
In lotto gaming,
cooperation
is the best
strategy.

C
ooperation is more than just a gaming strategy.
It is a process by which resources of various
forms are gathered and eventually reach critical
mass. This section discusses how cooperation leads
to the ultimate reward in lotto gaming.
Zero-Sum Game
Shown below is the perceived lotto game with all
types of bettors playing for a share of the jackpot.
Unfortunately, this diagram is missing one
player—the Lotto organizers.
“lucky” gamer
“milking cow” of the biggest player in the game—
the Lotto organizers.
In this complete gaming environment, we can
now trace the flow of the money each draw. If one
player loses, the Lotto organizers gain. If one
player wins, the Lotto organizers lose. However,
they can offset their losses because they gain from
other losing players.
In game theory, when one player’s gain leads to
another player’s loss, it is called a zero-sum game.
And the solution or strategy mathematicians
worked out for this type of game is for players to
maximize the minimum payoff.
For lotto gamers, this solution suggests that
cooperation is a good and mathematically correct
strategy. Understandably, you will more likely use
this strategy within a lotto club than when you are
playing alone.

This mistake is corrected in this next diagram.
“lucky” gamer
Lotto Club
A lotto club is different from the usual betting pool.
It is specifically organized to win major prizes and
to win often. This is its primary responsibility to its
members. Because of this, the club is practically
driven to play thousands of combinations. This
level of gaming, in turn, drives it to attract more
members. And then, more members will demand
more winnings. These demands create a positive
feedback loop.
Ultimately, the law of large numbers takes over
and the jackpot is finally won. How soon? We
cannot say for sure when, but we can speculate as
to how it will happen. Shown above is what the
membership of the lotto club will be just before a
major win.

Not including the Lotto organizers in the

game. First, you won’t be able to correctly identify
the type of game you are playing. Second, this
mistake will lead you to adopt questionable
strategies. And third, your ignorance makes you the
Lotto Club
“Lucky” individuals will be attracted to join
and they, in turn, will be given the opportunity to
pick numbers. And then, the combined betting
capital of the club will fund their picks. Done
enough times, they will overcome the odds. This is
how the jackpot will be won. „
WINNING THE JACKPOT
W
inning the jackpot is about aiming at the
right targets and understanding what it will
take to hit these targets. This section discusses how
lotto players should plan their game.

This table shows us that there are 216 possible
5-number matches. If you want to win the jackpot,
you have to recognize that the winning combination
is also a 5-number match, but with the 6th number
also matching. This means that if your chosen
wheel has several 5-number matches you have a
good chance of hitting the jackpot combination.
Aiming for the 216 possible 2nd prizes is the
right way to play for the jackpot. In practice, you
will be using wheels with 5if6 guarantees. The cost
of playing ranges from P420 for a System 12 wheel
featured earlier up to P2,800 for a System 16
wheel, the largest 5if6 wheel in Gail Howard’s
book. Shown below is a table of the ideal wheels to
use for winning major prizes.

If your budget is small, you may want to lower
your sights and aim at winning the 2nd prize
instead. The principle is the same. You have to
recognize that any 5-number match is also a 4number match but with a 5th number also matching.
This means that if your chosen wheel as several 4number matches you have a good chance of
winning 2nd prize.
Aiming for the 9,450 possible 3rd prizes is the
right way to play for the 2nd prize. In practice, you
will be using wheels with 4if6 or 4if5 guarantees.
The cost of playing ranges from P60 for a System
12 to P2,380 for a System 25, the largest 4if6
wheel in Gail Howard’s book.
Levels of Betting
Once you know your target and have chosen your
wheels, you need to decide how much to bet in
order to win. This aspect of the game is more art
than science. You need to make a calculated guess
by asking yourself if your picker(s) are lucky
enough to overcome the odds. Shown below are the
different odds for different levels of play.

The table of the odds for winning prizes was
used as the basis for these computations. In this
table, the odds of winning 2nd prize say 24,286:1.
An arbitrary number of about 5,000 combinations
was chosen because this level of betting brings the
odds of winning 2nd prize down to 5:1 and the
overall odds down to about 1,000:1. Further, this
translates to using a 5if6in12n42c wheel 119
times, bringing the odds of trapping the 6 winning
numbers down to 48:1 and the odds of trapping the
winning endings down to about 7:1.
Likewise, the odds of 555:1 from the table was
used for choosing the 500 combinations for
targeting the 2nd prize. „

Who’s Behind the Winning Numbers
T
here is a person behind the winning numbers.
And at a certain point in time, luck will be on
his side in winning the jackpot. This section
discusses what we know about this person.
Lottery Winner
Shown here are the charts of Paul, a lottery winner
featured by astrologer Celeste Teal in her book
Predicting Events with Astrology. The first chart
(in color) is his chart at the time he was born while
the other shows his chart at the time he won a
$50,000 lottery prize.
Natal
Astrologers study the lives of people. But contrary
to what most people would think, they don’t just
make up stories and relate these to planetary
patterns. They use statistical reasoning.
First, astrologers identify a certain planetary
pattern. Next, well-known people who have a
particular pattern in their birth chart are used as
models. What happens most often in their lives will
become the statistical average. Finally, astrologers
apply statistical reasoning when reading somebody
who has the same pattern.
For example, let us suppose that a survey was
conducted of 100 people with birth charts showing
Jupiter and Neptune linked together. And let us say
the data showed that 90 out of 100 are millionaires.
Statistical reasoning can now be applied. If you
have the same pattern in your birth chart, it is
likely or highly probable that you are or will
become a millionaire.
Incidentally, the Jupiter and Neptune pattern is
called the millionaire’s aspect and many financially
successful people are known to have this pattern.
Lucky Patterns
In her book Predicting Events with Astrology,
Celeste Teal wrote:
Jupiter’s position and aspects are most
important in establishing the possibility of
wealth. … The outer planets combined
with Jupiter are especially good for
acquiring wealth.
Chart at the
Time of the
Lottery Win
According to Celeste Teal, his natal chart
shows that he will be lucky in gambling. How
astrology can be used to predict the future by
reading charts is best explained in the next section.
However, it should be noted that daily horoscopes
published in newspapers do not have the same
predictive value as the techniques discussed here.
Aspects between Jupiter and Saturn
can be very promising for attaining lifelong wealth. The same is true of Jupiter
with Neptune, called the “millionaire’s
aspect.”
Pluto with Jupiter can be materially
wonderful. … A good aspect between
Jupiter and Mars assures that a person will
make money faster than it can be spent. A
good aspect between Jupiter and the Sun
brings many benefactors into the life who
can help the individual reach ambitions. …
These latter two aspects, as well as Jupiter
in good aspect to Uranus, are sometimes
referred to as “lucky.” [Page 70]
NATAL CHART BASICS
A
natal or birth chart is a snapshot of the
heavens at the exact time of a person’s birth. It
is the primary tool by which astrologers discover
what possibilities exist in our lives.

planetary positions of your birth chart. You are the

When to Play and Win
(or houses) in the chart. Due to space constraints,
planetary patterns (or aspects) will not be discussed here.
Event Timers
W
inning the jackpot is all about timing. But
finding the signals telling you when to place
your bets is no easy task. This section discusses the
prediction techniques used by astrologers.
Timing Explained
Shown below is the chart at the time Paul won the
lottery on March 15, 1996 at Phoenix, Arizona.
However, the chart was reoriented to match Paul’s
natal chart with Pisces at the top.
Sun ¸ and Mars ¡
acting as event timers
Two planets—the Sun ¸ and Mars ¡—act as
event timers. When the Sun or Mars passes over
the angles (e.g., Ascendant and Mid-Heaven), it
signals the coming of major events.
In the case of Paul’s lottery win, both the Sun
and Mars started crossing the Mid-Heaven of
Paul’s natal chart.
Four times in a year, the Sun will cross over
the angles (i.e., top, bottom, leftmost and
rightmost) of your natal chart while Mars, a much
slower planet, will also cross over half the signs in
your chart. This means there are at most 6 major
events in your life in a given year.
With this limited number of ideal signals for
one natal chart, it is obvious that you can only win
more frequently when you play in a group.
Shown on the next page is a table of the
position of the Sun and Mars in every Lotto 6/42
draw until the end of the year. You can anticipate
the best times to play by simply looking up which
day(s) have your Mid-Heaven sign.
Ideal Timing
Good placements for the Moon »,
Uranus † and Pluto ˆ
In astrology, the chart of a future event is
superimposed or overlaid on top of a natal chart to
examine the event in relation to a person’s life. For
a person to be “lucky” to win at Lotto, both charts
should form favorable aspects to each other. And
the dominant theme of the combined charts should
suggest “sudden benefits.”
In theory, planets that become prominent in the
event chart are good betting signals. In this section,
prominent means good placement in different areas
Aside from the event timers, good placements of
the transiting (or moving) planets in your chart will
tell you when it is best to play. Usually, planets in
the 5th and/or 8th houses indicate good results from
speculation.
Except for the Moon and Venus, all the other
planets are slow moving so they are practically in
one or two signs until the end of the year. Shown in
next page is a table of the positions of the Moon
and Venus in every Lotto 6/42 draw until the end of
the year.
Saturn. In general, Saturn { is the planet
attributed to restrictions or bad luck. In July 2005,
Saturn entered the sign of Leo where it will stay
until September 2007 when it crosses over to the
sign of Virgo.
Unless your sign is Leo, you are not affected by
its negative influence. On the other hand, it is good
for you if transiting Saturn is found above the
horizon in your natal chart.
Jupiter. In general, Jupiter ¥ is the sign of
abundance or good luck. In October 2005, Jupiter
entered the sign of Scorpio and will stay there until
November 2006 when it crosses over to Sagittarius.
If you are a Scorpio, now is the best time for
trying your luck. In general, all Scorpios are lucky,
but those born under the Chinese year of the
Dragon may experience difficulties.
The best place for transiting Jupiter in your
chart is in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th and directly above
your natal Sun.
Moon. As the planet ruling public contests, the
transiting Moon » should ideally be in the 5th or 8th
houses in your natal chart. It will also help if the

Natal Chart Potential
The natal chart on the right is that of a person born
under the sign of Libra. Although Libra is not one
of the signs associated with easy accumulation of
wealth, this chart has several lucky aspects esp. a
favorable Jupiter-Uranus aspect.
First, we want to know what is possible with
this Libra. As far as his chart is concerned, we
know this much:
ƒ Pisces rising (i.e., Ascendant) suggests he
is an intuitive person or perhaps someone
with a sixth sense;
ƒ Saturn in the 1st house of self-identity
suggests this Libra needs to learn to trust
his own intuition;

ƒ He has a favorable millionaire’s aspect
between Jupiter and Neptune showing his
chosen career and work will bring him
material wealth;
ƒ He has Jupiter in favorable aspect with
Uranus signifying possible “sudden
wealth”;
ƒ Intense Pluto in the 5th house of speculation and ruling the 8th house of public
contests suggest possible gain from
gambling, and;
ƒ Unusual Uranus in the 2nd house of
personal wealth and ruling the 12th house
of the occult suggests possible gain using
astrology.
If this person can win the jackpot, how can it
be done? In principle, Libra is the sign of partnerships. If ever a certain Libra does succeed in life,
he/she will be partnering with others and overcoming his/her Libran indecisiveness.
ANALYSIS
With all these lucky aspects, why hasn’t this
Libra ever won the lottery? Saturn in his 1st House
may be the reason. He doesn’t trust his intuition.
This and the typical indecisiveness common to all
Libran’s are interfering with his potential. By
joining a group such as a lotto club, he may finally
be able to overcome his weaknesses.

Target Draw Dates
As of May 12, 2006, the planets are found as
shown on the bottom-left chart. What you need to
do is to plot the current positions of the planets
from this chart into your own chart. Once you have
done this, you can now visualize and estimate
where the planets will be in the months ahead.
Next, you can identify the ideal months for
your chart. You can then scan the table of draw
dates in the previous section during the ideal
months to give you the positions of each planet. It
is now a matter of choosing which draw date has
the “best” configuration of planets. However,

please take note that the issue here is not looking
for one perfect moment, but rather to avoid playing
on ordinary days when you cannot possibly win.
In the case of our specimen chart, the months
of March, May, July, August, November and
December are possibly favorable for speculation.
From these months, two possible draw dates were
chosen. Their respective charts are shown here.
However, the first one has a weakness—the Sun is
not prominent. The second one is better with a high
concentration of planets packed in the 8th house of
public contests.

The techniques presented here are elementary
principles. In practice, astrologers use other charts
like the solar and lunar return charts. Unfortunately, computer programs are needed for these and
require more knowledge than what can be
presented here. „

My Tutor,
You told me once that I talk too much
in generalities. I kept assuming that what I
was saying was obvious, but it wasn’t. I
was not clear and therefore, I was not
being understood. So, to my first truly
attentive audience, I owe you a debt of
gratitude for my appreciation of specifics.

Leo Mercader,
My idea for a Lotto primer won’t be
half as good if not for you. Your keen eye
for the visual elements of my work is
largely responsible for making this primer
appealing to read. Many thanks.
Attention Scorpios
From October 26, 2005 to November 11, 2006,
those born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio will be
lucky. As one of the signs likely to be lucky when it
comes to money, we’re interested in your membership. This is a good chance for you to explore your
luck and whatever blessings your birth chart may
reveal.
As a rule, all Scorpios will be somehow lucky.
However, those born under the Chinese year of the
Dragon may experience difficulties. In any case,
don’t let this once in every 12-year phenomenon
pass you by. Find out today what your future holds.
How to Join
Send your landline number to (917) 415 6065 and
the club manager will contact you and your group
for orientation. Actual venue and schedule will be
arranged with club applicants.
Please be informed that a membership fee will
be collected upon registration. This will be used to
offset operating costs and overhead expenses.
