How does human psychology influence number selection?

[Mike_25]

Huys, does the human mind affect the lottery numbers we pick? I often choose numbers with meaning to me. This made me realize our choices may not be random. Do you find this true for yourself too? And if so, do you try choosing numbers more randomly to improve your chances of winning? I would like to hear from others about their experiences and thoughts on this topic. Simple choices based on our feelings may not work well for picking lucky lottery numbers.

One of the most common is called the gambler's fallacy, which is the mistaken belief that past events will influence future events. This can lead people to choose numbers that have been drawn recently, since they believe that these numbers are "hot" and more likely to be drawn again.

Most of the people like to pick their lucky or favourite numbers they can usually be a combination of two or more numbers everyone have different choices when it comes to choosing numbers for an fixed event so it varies from person to person indeed actually
