Some like 'em hot! Others prefer them cold. But whatever the temperature - you can always rely on the lottery to churn out digital trends like no other!
If you're a numbers droid and like to pick your numbers based on the frequency they come out of the hat, then read on!
The numbers from the William Hill Irish Lotto results and 49's results have been logged since the draw began, forming weekly, monthly, and yearly number trends - otherwise known as Hot Numbers and Cold Numbers.
Hot Numbers are digits that frequently appear in Lotto draws over a set period, while at the other end of the scale, cold numbers refer to lesser-spotted figures.
Checking in on the Hot Numbers and Cold Numbers is a prevalent method for statistically-minded lotto bettors.
In short, no! Every draw churns out the same odds of winning. You're just as likely to win from betting on your lucky numbers as you are from number trends. It all depends on how you prefer to place your bets.
If you place your Irish Lotto or 49's bets based on birthday dates, favourite football shirts, or any other meaningful number, then there is no mathematical need to mix it up - unless you want to, of course!
