Lotto players follow superstitions to pick their weekly ticket. They stick to a specific group of numbers, cultural beliefs, licence numbers and their dreams.
The most commonly called numbers in the Irish lottery are 47, 10, 42, 38, 45, 14, 5, and 18.
Some players pick their numbers based on cultural customs. Chinese believe that the universe is run by two rules -Yin and Yang.
There is a sense of luck to getting your first license or car. Many players opt to use their license number or plate for their lottery numbers.
Some players claim to have dreamed up the numbers to pick and used them to create a lottery ticket. It worked once in the Mega Millions lottery, when an anonymous winner won $189 million.
Experts recommend picking random numbers as it is less likely other players will have the same combination of numbers. If you do win, you have a better shot of winning the money and it's likely with a lesser amount of other people.
