I saw a claim on lottery numbers. “Many of the recent drawings had Mega balls ending in 9” among other observed and claimed patterns. Should I buy the expert guide on how to win?

No, you should not buy the expert guide on how to win the lottery. Here’s why:

• Lottery Randomness: Lotteries are designed to be random. Past results, including any observed patterns, have absolutely no bearing on future drawings.
• Expert Guides: These guides often prey on people’s hopes and dreams, offering misleading information or false promises. There is no proven strategy to guarantee winning the lottery.
• Statistical Illusions: It’s easy to spot patterns in random data after the fact. This doesn’t mean these patterns are predictive.
