How do you choose your lottery numbers?

I don't do the lottery every week but do it when the mood takes me. I usually just buy a lucky dip ticket and hope for the best. In the past I have chosen numbers from people's birthdays and things like that. I know some people have some weird and wonderful ways of picking their numbers. So, how are your numbers chosen?

I used to use the our ages but now I'm a lucky dipper. We only do it about once a month though. Lucky for Camelot and the "Good causes" mostly. I once won £42 but that's about it.

Luck disdains me a lot, like my ex. So, i never ever thought of doing a lottery. At present, our state has banned the lottery and there is not even a slim chance for any one to test their luck.. and in selecting the lottery numbers at their choice..

saivenkaat802003 Aww that is a shame. In England a lot of the lottery money also goes to a worthy cause so others to benefit from the lottery so I feel like I am giving to charity also when I do it. Thank you for your response

I use all the numbers in my families birthdays. Some of them are the same so it works out great.

I get to play the lottery whenever I go with my parents to the grocery store. I usually pick numbers that have a meaning to it, such as birthday numbers or other important people's phone numbers. Sometimes if a number keeps coming up on that day, there it goes into the bubble sheet.

I do the same as you but I also have numbers with my husband that we like the most, so I would choose 3 numbers and he would do the same.

Hello valeria1 That's a good idea but then doesn't that mean that you have to split the winnings with your husband? Thank you for responding
