For a little entertainment I have purchased a lottery number generator and whilst I am not holding my breath it adds a little extra fun value. It works with several different lotteries so you can try as many as you like. For the moment I am sticking with the UK Lotto.

It works over an 8 week cycle and produces a list of hot and cold numbers, which is what you use for the following 8 lottery draws. You then enter the next 8 draws and the cycle continues. I have chosen to use 20 lines and will use these over the next month.

At the moment I am just using it for the fun factor and will not be spending any money until I see some kind of success. I know I will kick myself if the numbers do come up!

There are plenty of lottery software packages out there and they do vary a lot in price. Some are free, even the national lottery has one but these are just random number generators, which you can do yourself by picking the numbers from a hat.

Lottery number generators do work on some form of mathematical process which is down to the programmer. If you do choose to use one of these programs just view it as a form of entertainment.

I will post my findings over the coming weeks.........
