Just as with other methods, tarot cards can suggest some numbers for lottery games. Yet, there’s a more important question to ask before buying lottery tickets with these numbers.

Can these lottery numbers give you a good chance of winning the jackpot?

In lottery games, we can calculate your likelihood of winning. And unfortunately, you can’t beat the odds. So no matter how powerful your tarot cards can be, the winning combination will always follow the results of a random draw. We need to use combinatorics and probability theory to understand how balls behave in a lottery draw. And understanding this behavior is not possible with tarot cards.

What Tarot Cards Can and Can Not Do

Nobody can foresee the next winning lottery numbers. Still, many people believe tarot card readings help deal with this random thing.

It is interesting how people believe that tarot cards can tell part of their life stories. Tarot readings offer ways to live your life. Some believe that tarot can assist you in your life struggles. Yet, tarot cards cannot tell if you will win the lottery or land a dream job.

You cannot foretell exactly what lies ahead through tarot cards. However, you can connect to your wisdom to take control of your life.

Most people want to win the lottery jackpot. Just imagining the huge prize can motivate you to buy a ticket for a possible life-changing experience.

But it isn't easy to win a lottery game. As a player, accept that you will have more losses than success. And tarot cards cannot change this fact.

You could use tarot cards to pick numbers to play. Yet, no matter how encouraging the readings of your tarot cards are, this will not change the odds, especially if your numbers are not the most sensible choice you can make for yourself.

Success Stories Through Tarot

In Australia, an Adelaide woman won $1.5 million in the X Lotto. She said her sister had consulted a tarot reader who said one of her sisters would win the lottery. This sister also had a premonition from which she used some of her winning numbers.

Judy Mayer had her tarot card readings from a psychic named Katerina. She received Katerina’s business card with numbers from the tarot reading written on the back. Mayer played the Canada Lotto 6–49 for 18 months using all the numbers without success. Then she changed 1 of the six numbers and won the $6.8-million lottery jackpot.

What do you notice from these two lottery success stories?

These people did not win all because of tarot cards. Their successes were joint efforts of several factors.

In the first story, a tarot reading catalyzed motivation that compelled the woman to play the lottery. The second story's tarot card reading provided 5 of the six winning numbers. One number came from the player herself.

From these stories, we see that tarot cards have limitations. If you want to use tarot cards to pick lottery numbers, keep these drawbacks in mind.

The latter story happened in 2007. According to Katerina, she also gave six winning numbers to a male client five years ago. Does this mean Katerina has the special gift to foresee winning lottery numbers? I do not know about psychic powers, but I can explain this mathematically.

The two incidents were coincidences. The male client received his winning numbers in (about) 2002, while Mayers received hers in (approx) 2005. There appear to be no more stories published online regarding a lottery winner who won using numbers provided by Katerina.

Mathematics can explain such rare instances. The law of truly large numbers says that many events may allow coincidences and strange happenings to occur. The winning incidents from Katerina’s tarot readings fall under these unusual occurrences.

I don’t have enough space to explain the math of coincidences, but I have a separate article on that subject if you want to dig deeper into the subject. You can read my article How Does Math Explain Unusual Events, Strange Combinations, and Coincidences in the Lottery.

What Math Can Do

Tarot cards always have no relevance to the lottery. Being a truly random game, the only way we can get the best shot possible is to understand how balls behave in a lottery draw. Only mathematics has the answer. So if you want an effective strategy, it must be based on mathematics.

Allow me to explain combinatorial and probability analysis as a lottery strategy. The advanced combinatorial analysis allows you to play the lottery mathematically. This is based on my article The Winning Lottery Formula Based on Combinatorics and Probability Theory)

To give you an idea, I grouped numbers into four sets to consider odd/even and low/high numbers. I call this the Lotterycodex method.

In a 6/49 game, numbers are grouped in the following sets:

Based on these four sets, we define the composition of all combinatorial groups that comprise a 6/49 game.

For example, this combination 3–7–19–25–27–46 is composed of four yellow numbers, one from the gray group and one from the green group.

There are 102,960 ways you can combine numbers using the 4-yellow-1-gray-1-green pattern. Therefore, probabilistically, this group occurs approximately once in every 100 lottery draw.

As a lotto player, you should pick a group that occurs more frequently to get more favorable shots. You don’t want to waste your money in 100 draws to get only one favorable shot. Therefore, the example pattern I mentioned is not your best choice.

Using a Lotterycodex calculator, the 6/49 game will produce 84 patterns; only three are the best. So as a lotto player, you are better off focusing on pattern #1.

For example, if you compare pattern #1 with the rest, you will notice that the lottery follows a deterministic behavior. According to the law of large numbers, this pattern #1 will dominate the lottery draw and continue to dominate as the number of draws gets larger and larger.

The table below will show you the behavior of a 6/49 game as predicted using combinatorial and probability calculations:

Indeed, your job as a lotto player is to play with the best shot possible. Here, we calculate the combinatorial group that will dominate over time as more draws occur. According to probability theory, most winning numbers will come from this dominant group.

Understanding Tarot and Lottery Numbers

In tarot readings, there are cards signifying luck and wealth. You can read many articles and reminders from readers and experts that tarot readings may vary. Your intuition will play a major role in how to apply the reading in your life.

This is what you ought to understand about lottery numbers from tarot readings. Tarot cards may suggest combinations to play a lotto game. If the tarot reader gives you the combination 1–2–3–4–5–6, then it is still valid. The only question is, "Is it the most sensible choice according to math?”

In Mayer’s case, it was soon after she changed one number of the six tarot numbers that she won the jackpot.

In a lottery game, remember that all combinations have an equal probability. But since combinations don’t have the same composition, combinatorial groups with varying ratios of success to failure exist.

One classic example is the number of odd and even numbers variation. For example, a combination with a more balanced mix of odd and even numbers has a favorable ratio compared to a combination without odd numbers.

The table below will show you how the two combinations differ in a big way and why choosing one over the other makes a big difference in your play.

As you notice, you get a more favorable shot when you play a more balanced mix of odd and even numbers.

As a lotto player, you don’t want to waste money on 104 draws to get one favorable shot. A true lottery strategy is not about predicting the next winning numbers. It’s all about understanding the behavior of a truly random lottery draw and following it as closely as possible to get the best shot possible.

Just because a combination has a balanced mix of odd and even numbers doesn’t mean it’s a good combination. For example, the line 1–2–3–4–5–6 has an equal quantity of odd and even numbers. But needless to say, a combination such as this rarely occurs in a lottery draw. Again, please read my article How Does Math Explain Unusual Events, Strange Combinations, and Coincidences in the Lottery.

The next time you use a group of numbers given to you by a tarot reader, run a Lotterycodex calculator.

Nothing can guarantee that you will win the lottery. Positive tarot readings, however, could urge you to keep playing despite too many losses.

Use tarot cards and readings if you like to pick lotto numbers. But don’t forget to subject these numbers to combinatorial and probability analysis.
